Masked And Anonymous Original Soundtrack, Various Artists, 2003
I saw this movie for the first time in 2009 and loved it. I understand the criticisms, why it’s a frustrating movie to watch from the traditional perspective that demands a coherent narrative, but I think it’s clear early on … Continue reading

May Your Song Always Be Sung: The Songs of Bob Dylan, Various Artists, 1997
This is the first of three German-curated compilations of Dylan covers put out by Bertelsmann Music Group. The roster on all three compilations is diverse and interesting and draws from all over the spectrum, while many of the artists are … Continue reading

This is an Italian compilation of Western artists released in 1991 to celebrate thirty years of Dylan whose first album, the self-titled Bob Dylan (1962) contained three Dylan originals written and recorded in 1961. A quick scan of the track list … Continue reading

Hamilton Camp, Paths Of Victory, 1964
Hamilton Camp, also known as Bob Camp, was born in England 1934 and died an American in 2005. It seems he was more of an actor and voice-actor than singer-songwriter, but even so, he authored several songs for such pop … Continue reading

Schipa Jr. Dylaniato, 1988
After listening to this album just once, I couldn’t not hear it as a semi-comic parody that translated Dylan into Italo showground-pop. Then I translated the sleeve notes by Fernando Pivano and found an earnest description of the arduous difficulties … Continue reading

It Ain’t Me Babe: Great Artists Sing The Songs Of Bob Dylan, Various Artists, 1980
This Polystar compilation from 1980 was released in France, Ireland and the UK only. It seems nothing more than a quickly cobbled together collection of covers that had been around for a long time, and some titles that would appear … Continue reading

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & The Cairo Gang, The Wonder Show Of The World, 2010
After the inward-looking Beware with its odd mix of comedy, philosophical meandering and identity-developing in a dark room to a country tune of pedal steel guitars, guimbris, marimbas, mandolins, flutes, saxes, banjos, cornets and accordions, we now get back to … Continue reading
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Beware, 2009
Beware was probably the first Bonnie album I knew I was going to like after only one listen. The cadences and nuances of his voice and song were now firmly etched in my mind, patterns and recognitions and blueprints; perhaps … Continue reading

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, (self-titled), 2013
So Oldham’s tried on a new system of distribution for this album, his first to feature only himself and guitar since 1994’s Days In The Wake. We get this image of a humble relatively unknown singer-songwriter humping his swag of … Continue reading

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Ask Forgiveness, 2007
I’d had this on my ipod for a couple of years before I got round to playing my vinyl copy, and it was really only during a hiking trip through Switzerland in 2011 that I got fully absorbed in Ask … Continue reading

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, The Letting Go, 2006
I have a sorry history with this album. I bought it in the year of release and despite being aware of all the great reviews, I never seemed to understand what people were raving about. I wasn’t really listening, and … Continue reading

Tortoise and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, The Brave And The Bold, 2006
So the first album post-Superwolf that I buy, after deciding Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy was the best thing since blue cheese, was this hard-to-love album of covers performed with Chicago ‘post-rock’ outfit Tortoise, a band whose albums I own none of. … Continue reading
