Bob Dylan in the 80s: Volume One collects contemporary artists covering tracks from Dylan’s most maligned period. It was a time when he was shapeshifting, finding religion, reposturing. But, as many documentaries and loons who call themselves “Dylanologists” have pointed out, there’s a lot of great material buried in the 80s. This compilation mines a bit of that, including some Traveling Wilburys material.
Producers Jesse Lauter (Elvis Perkins, The Low Anthem) and Sean O’Brien (Dawes, PAPA) have collected a great group of artists, aside from the above, to cover Dylan’s 80s work including Glen Hansard, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Lucius, Langhorne Slim, Deer Tick, Dawn Landes, Blitzen Trapper, Carl Broemel, Elvis Perkins, Craig Finn and more.
