The Silkie, Sing The Songs Of Bob Dylan, 1965

Posted on May 22, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

My first impressions of this were off-putting. The sound seemed soupy, the harmonized singing seemed awfully mid-60s grey sky English countryside dreary. The first reference point is Peter, Paul & Mary. It’s inevitable that they’ll be compared to their far … Continue reading →

Dorinda Duncan, The Songs Of Bob Dylan Through The Heart Of A Girl, 1965

Posted on May 19, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

Dorinda Duncan was 20 when she recorded these songs—a ‘southern belle’ according to the liner notes. She covers, somewhat tiresomely, the same Dylan songs as everyone else, although her focus is entirely on the love songs. What was it with … Continue reading →

Hugues Aufray, Aufray Chante Dylan, 1965

Odetta, Odetta Sings Dylan, 1965

Posted on May 1, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

Apparently the second ever Dylan covers album after Linda Mason’s effort. It’s somewhat more credible than that one from 1964, but still, I was disappointed on playing this for the first time to hear that Odetta has what sounds like … Continue reading →
