Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 27: Curtain Risin’ On a New Age

I am taking a quick break from 24/7 cable coverage of the US presidential primaries to bring you Volume 27 in this ongoing collection of Dylan covers.

As you may know, a couple of volumes of NSD have been retroactively banned due to Van Morrison’s new status on the NAB list (you can run a search to see which volumes). If anyone still has the FLACs and wants to repost them without the offending tracks, it would be appreciated!

As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the nice folks who’ve sent me recordings, the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). If you’ve got something good, PM me.

Enjoy!
