    Remarkably, almost every performance resonates. [Apr 2014, p.83]

    It sure does prove that Bob Dylan isn't bigger than rock and roll--while also proving that rock and roll needs ace songwriters more than many current rock and rollers think.

    Some of these versions work better than others, but they're all imaginative and worthy and, best of all, they prove the producers' thesis that there is a lot to discover within Dylan's '80s catalog.

    In hindsight, Bob Dylan's recordings in the 1980s deserve their bad rep less for the songs--which can be tremendously potent--than for the bland production and often half-baked performances. This revisionist tribute drives that notion home.

    Some of the covers on Dylan in the 80s work because they restore the troubadour aspect of Dylan lore.
