FAQs: Q:
What
is a Dylan Cover?.......A:
A
recording of a song written or co-written by Bob
Dylan, performed
by someone else Q:
How
was this list compiled?.......A:
This
is a newly generated list compiled from my private
collection, the
archives of all the various sections of DYLAN
COVER ALBUMS and DYLAN TITLE
TRACKS, and the results of continuing internet
research.
None of the content was derived directly from existing Dylan cover
lists,
either on-line or in print. Q:
Does
this database include all existing Dylan covers?.......A:
No,
it is a work-in-progress. It is unlikely any list like this
will
ever be complete. There are many older covers that I do not
have
direct knowledge of. The long standing covers list IT
AIN'T ME BABE has many of these, as well as live
unrecorded performances
and other categories that I have not included. Q:
What
is included?.......A:
All
recordings of songs written or co-written by Bob Dylan.
Medleys with
a Dylan song as a significant portion of the medley.
Translations
of Dylan songs where Bob is given writer's credit/co-credit.
Full
length tracks that are or were available for download from the
web.
Unofficial live performances that circulate among collectors (in some
cases
where multiple versions exist, it is noted that "many/several
perfomances
circulate" instead of listing all dates.) Remixes of other
covers
are only included if they are still recognizable as the Dylan song. Q:
What
is not included?.......A:
Parodies
that do not use the original lyrics. Songs about Bob or that
mention
Bob. Most karaoke versions (unless the performer is
identified).
Live performances that were not recorded and/or do not
circulate.
Multi song "potpourris" where the Dylan song is only a minor
part.
Song clips or samples when no full version is/was ever
available.
Songs using a Dylan melody but with all new lyrics (in English - less
stringent
for translations. Some new lyrics are allowed if some Bob
lyrics
are retained.) Traditional (or other) songs that are
sometimes credited
to Dylan, either in error or for his arrangement (Corrina Corrina, He
Was
A Friend Of Mine, etc.) Songs that sample Bob's original
recordings.
Remixes based on Bob's original recordings using his vocals. Q:
Can
I buy / trade / get copies of these Dylan Covers?.......A:
Not
here. Please don't ask. This is not a catalog or an
offer to
distribute anything on this list. Q:
I
have some covers not in the database, can I submit them?.......A:
Yes,
thank you. Use the SUBMISSION
FORM. Q:
Will
I get credit?.......A:
The
database will not include individual credits, but your name
will
be
added to the "Thank You" section on this page. Q:
Will
new entries be announced anywhere?.......A:
Additions
and updates to the DataBase will be made on the first of each
month.
You will be able to check new entries using the method outlined in the
description of the ENTERED field (see #10 below) Q:
Why
are there more lines in the database than shown in the total count?.......A:
Cross
reference and other notations count as lines in the database.
The
total count includes only the actual Dylan covers. DATABASE
VIEWS: All:
This is the
complete list. Click on any underlined field name to sort by
that
field. See a note about sorting. Search:
Opens the
SEARCH input page, where you can enter criteria to perform a
search.
See Search Tips. Selection:
The
results of a search, in the same format as the complete list.
Click
ALL to return to the complete list. Detail:
Clicking
on the highlighted artist name on any record opens the DETAILS page for
that individual record. Some fields are only displayed in the
DETAILS
view. SEARCH
TIPS: Click
SEARCH to enter the search
page. Click
the buttons to hide
downloads, or to show only dowloads. Searches
find matching strings
at the beginning of fields only. In any field, type the first
letter
or first few letters of a search term. To
find all artists, songs,
etc. starting with any letter, just type the letter in the appropriate
field and click SUBMIT To
find any artist, song, or
etc. type enough letters to narrow your search. For example,
typing
"all" in the Track field will yield all songs starting with "all":
All
Along The Watchtower, All I Really Want To Do, All
Over You,
All
The Tired Horses. To find a particular song, you must enter
up to
the first unique letter, so "all a" will find only All
Along
The Watchtower. To find either Just Like Tom
Thumb's Blues
or Just Like A Woman, you must enter up to the
first unique letter:
just
like t or just like a.
For some searches,
Visions
of Johanna for example, you only need to search for
v in the
TRACK field. You
cannot search for imbedded
strings, so watch will find Watching
The River Flow but not
All Along The Watchtower. An
exception to this is the
YEAR field, which is a numerical field and you must type all 4 digits. If
you perform a 2nd search
from a search results window, the new search is performed on the entire
database, not just the results that are displayed. To do a
multi
level search, enter more than one criteria in the original
search.
For example, to find all Byrds covers starting with an "M" from 1965,
enter
Byrds in ARTIST, 1965 in YEAR and m in the TRACK fields. See
description of the ENTERED
field below on how to search for new additions.
A note about sorting: You
can sort on the fields if
the field name (Artist, Track, etc.) is underlined (toggles between
ascending
and descending order). Note that special characters
(Å, Ø,
etc.) are sorted at the end of the list. Likewise, special
characters
as 2nd characters (Lä, Sø, etc.) are sorted at the
end of their
respective letter sections. The same for imbedded
punctuation, such
as D'Abo or B.B.M.. Note
that when the database
is first opened, some of these rules do not apply
for certain characters,
because the program used to maintain the database sorts differently
than
the on-line database. For example Å names are with
the regular
As, but Ø names are at the end of the list. Names
with prefixes (de Jonge,
van Dyke, etc.) are sorted using the US method, using the prefix (van
Dyke
under v) Leading
abbreviations are sorted
as printed: Mr. & Dr. as such, not mister
& doctor. Names
& titles that begin
with numerals are sorted as text, not numbers, so
103rd is
sorted before 13th.
A note about
special/non-standard characters: In
names and titles with non-standard
characters, if the correct character is not available the closest
standard
character is used. (c for accented-c, etc.)
FIELD
DESCRIPTIONS
1.Artist: Proper
artist names are listed:
“surname, first name” Proper
artist names with a band
or other suffix are listed: “surname,
first name Band” -or-
“surname, first name &
The...” Bands
named after people (historical,
fictional, etc.) are listed as read: “Moses
Wiggins,” “Daniel
Lioneye,” etc. Bands
with leading prepositions
(in English or other languages) are listed under the first significant
word: “Byrds, The”
“Miralls de Dylan, Els”
“Chijuas,
Los” etc. There are a few exceptions, where the
preposition is part of an expression or integral
to the name, Los Lobos & The Sky About To Rain for example. In
some cases I do not know
if it's a band name or a proper name, so I
used
my best guess! Any corrections are appreciated. Also
see A note
about sorting. 2.Track: The
title of the Dylan song,
converted to it's standard or most common syntax. If the
title used
on the record is translated or substantially different, it is noted in
the Translation field (see #3). Minor variations in title are
normally
not noted (Blowin' vs. Blowing, etc.) Note:
a + mark to the right
of the title indicates there is an image available in the DETAIL
view 3.Translation
(detail view
only): The
translated song title if
not in English. Titles in other alphabets are noted as
"Japanese
title," "Hebrew title," etc. English
titles that are non-standard
or substantially modified are also noted here. 4.Performed: How
the song is performed: as
an instrumental, or sung in another language. Dialects are
noted
if known. If blank, assume the song is performed in English. A
few tracks are marked as English
in cases where the artist usually performs in another language, or it
is
otherwise questionable. 5.Country: Primary
country where the artist
is/was based. Does not refer to where the record was recorded
or
released. Collaborations
or artists with
dual countries are noted with 2 codes, for example SN/CA = Senegal +
Canada. Standard
ISO country codes are
used, except for UK instead of the GB. Note
that the full country name
is now shown in the detail view. See

6.Year: Year
of recording. If
unknown, the field is left blank and the decade (if known) is noted in
the Notes field (196?). 7.Original
Source: The
original album or source
of the recording. LP or CD sources are given priority over
single
releases. Covers
only available as internet
downloads are noted as such, with the format (mp3, RealAudio,
etc.).
Downloaded tracks are only listed as such if it is not (or it is
unknown
to be) released on a recording. See my COVERS
ON-LINE page for links to currently available
downloads. 8.Notes: Any
additional information can
be listed here: genre, info about the artist or record, specific dates,
etc. When
available, the genre is
shown first, so searching the NOTES field for jazz, reggae, country,
etc.
will yield a list of those genres. As this info is not always
available,
any such results should not be considered "complete." For
regional bands, the city,
state and or region may be listed: LA=Los Angeles, NYC=New York City,
SF/SF
Bay=San Francisco, New England=Northeast US All
dates are in US format mm/dd/yy,
unless part of a title, in which case they are shown as is. 8a.Link (detail view only): 1)
If a record is listed
in the Dylan Cover Albums main pages, a link to that listing is
provided
marked as "Dylan Cover Albums." Often you can find a further
web
link at the album's listing. 2)
If a cover is from an audio
archive site, a link is provided to that site's main page. You must
then
use that site's search function to fine the artist and/or track. 3)
Some artists are linked to
their website or another appropriate website, these are marked either
"band
website", artist website", or some other descriptive term. 9.Other
Sources (detail view
only): Shown
here is an alternate source
for the recording, for example a single, reissue, compilation, etc. It
is not the intent to list every subsequent appearance of the track, but
usually the most notable, recent or available. If
an album track was also released
as a single, it might be noted here.
Obvious singles like
The Byrds, Manfred Mann, etc. are likely not noted. If
the track appears on these
various-artist Dylan Cover Albums, it is linked to the album
on the
main site. If the track appears on several compilations, only
one
or two are shown with the notation "+ other comps"
10.Entered (detail view only): The
date the record was entered
into the on-line database, in YYMMDD format. New
entries from the most recent
update are marked NEW. Subsequently, all
entries will
be dated with the date of their entry. Records
that were part of the
original database are not coded. The earliest dated entries
are Oct.
2004 (0410xx). You
