DYLANREVISITED REVISITED

Super tribute article in the June issue to mark Dylan’s 80th. Some of the anecdotes by fellow artists and acquaintances were both revelatory and hilarious. Equally compelling was the accompanying CD with covers by some acts hitherto little known to me. I had to seek out and play the twin tribute CDs given out with Uncut’s May 2002 and June 2011 issues. It bears testament to the astonishing quantity and quality of the man’s output that the only track overlap was a version of “The Times They Are A-Changin’” by The Hollies.

As someone old and fortunate enough to have followed Dylan’s career path from the outset, I think it fitting to part paraphrase Bill Shankley’s quote about his impeccable Liverpool football team of yesteryear: “There are good artists, there are great artists, and there is Dylan.”
