From Another World - A Tribute to Bob Dylan

From Another World - A Tribute to Bob Dylan

Cover/tribute collections have been traditionally albums which have inferior artists trying their best to sound classic. Forget that noise. This CD has been put together by artists who retain their integrity. From what can be understood, the artists here took the words of Dylan, translated them into their native tongue and successfully struggled to arrange the lyrics in a manner which represent their roots.

Much as Dylan borrowed words and flavors from others and created his own unique voice, the thirteen artists on this CD do the same by borrowing from Dylan and creating their own perfect vision of the universe. Folk music at it's purest and most amazing. Every cut is special, and has me fighting to remember this is a Dylan tribute because I get lost in the power of the musicians to transform the words and tunes into a world which moves far beyond Dylan. It's easier to drop the pretense of Dylan in my mind and think Tribute. When I do that and recall that Dylan is always providing tribute to the past while breaking molds of the future, my mind grasps their purpose with happiness.

Taraf of Haidouks brings the old tune and words Dylan had borrowed with Corinna, Corinna and makes news that lifts the soul. The other twelve songs on the CD live up to this high praise also. Flavors of Cuba, Romania, India, Iran, Egypt, Australia and other world outposts. Highly recommended for those who love to taste the world with their ears. From Another World - A Tribute to Bob Dylan
