    With Positively Bob, Nile manages to make one of the few cover albums worth owning.

    Dylan didn't need another covers record. Thankfully, Nile didn't give a damn and delivered one of the best.

    By focusing mostly on the early entries from Dylan's canon, Nile reminds us of Dylan's power and poetic brilliance. [No. 144, p.57]

    When he slows for a stroll through You Ain't Going Nowhere and offers up the obscure Abandoned Lover as a wonderfully interpreted finale, you're hit by the realisation that Willie has actually pulled off what is unquestionably a daunting challenge. [Sep 2017, p.94]
