As you can see from the tracklist above, this was quite the undertaking by Amnesty International. The reality is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the Starbucks version with 31 tracks. The full album is actually four discs with 73 tracks. A powerful testament to how prolific Bob Dylan has been over the past five plus decades…and to how his music continues to reach out and touch the musicians of today. Even on this shortened version, the performances are amazingly good and the tribute is sincere. You know you’re in for a treat with Pete Townshend opening the album with a fine “Corrina, Corrina”. The real highlights here are provided by Adele (“To Bring You My Love”), Jackson Browne with “Love Minus Zero/No Limit”, and a gritty, down to earth stunner from Kris Kristofferson (“Quinn The Eskimo”). Silversun Pickups, Lucinda Williams and Sting provide additional highlights.
Surprises? How about Maroon 5 bringing a fine version of “I Shall Be Released”? Old friends? Joan Baez is here. Even Johnny Cash makes an appearance from beyond the grave. This shows just how massive Dylan’s influence is. The 4 disc version contains additional tracks by Pete Seeger, Miley Cyrus (!), Billy Bragg, Joe Perry, Cage The Elephant…an amazing list. An amazing album filled with great songs and great performances, and it’s also all for a great cause. This is a truly fine tribute album. It may be long, but hey…it’s Bob Dylan. It should be long. And it should be excellent. It is. [First added to this chart: 11/04/2012]
