Anyone know anything about the new Bob Dylan record? I saw it up for presale on iTunes, but I haven't had much exposure. I got into his stuff through some really excellent covers (notably of the times they are a changin' [Derek Webb & Lady in the Water soundtrack] and Every Grain of Sand [DW]), so I picked up his two-cd essentials CD and liked it pretty good (the little I've listened to it - maybe i'll pull it back out). However I don't have a clue about his newer stuff. Just curious... I found I really liked old man Johnny Cash better than his big career stuff (not like American IV wasn't big career), and I was wondering if Bob Dylan was the same.

Hey man...
I'm a HUGE Dylan fan. I own every record he has ever put out.
I'll say this... As a big fan, I appreciate his new records... and his last one (love and theft) was actually really great. That said, I think his best work is behind him... If you want my essential Dylan records, they are:
Bootleg Series vol 1-3
Blood on the Tracks
Bringin' it all Back Home
Another Side of Bob Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
Oh Mercy
Biograph (5 disc career retrospective)
Slow Train Comin / Saved / Shot of Love (his three "Christian" albums).
Others are good too... those are my faves.
- Greg

I've got The Essential Bob Dylan 2 CD package and love it. It's a greatest hits type thing but he has so many good songs to cram onto 2 CD's. Great for someone just looking for a Dylan fix.

So, what's everyone's favorite Bob Dylan song?
Mine is "I Believe in You," or at least I really like the cover Greg did on West Towne Blugrass Service.
Just my 2 cents.

So this is kinda crazy... but iTunes did a "complete collection" today -- 773 tracks for $199.99 . Man, I wish I had that kind of money to spend on music... yowza.
sch
PS plus it's got like 42 unreleased rarities ... wow.
