Such is the uniqueness of Dylan's vocal delivery that few can match it either for expressiveness or intensity. This this broadcast effectively demonstrated this. It could have done with more analysis and discussion of the songs in question and skimped on the coverage of the cover artists' performances of them.
Superlative piece of work on an American superstar poet and musical genius. The piece shares information on the artist and his life that most people couldn't know.
The many artists who give tribute to Bob Dylan's work through their interpretations is simply beautiful.
I enjoyed the bootleg song of Dylan's work that never got producion but was included also.
The program is an artwork and musical interpretation that I will listen to several times like the favorite album it celebrates.
This is really a classic piece of radio work. First off, it sounds gorgeous--thank heaven the producers opted for two hours so they could play the whole songs, keep the pace so casual and easy. The whole thing breathes. Second, there's just enough history, just enough current appreciation, jsut enough Greil Marcus being his usual brilliant self. You end up feeling as if your mind has been stretched, as if you've been helped to make interesting connections. For anyone of this vintage, it's compelling, a perfect piece to stretch out on the sofa and listen to in the twilight, wineglass dangling in your hand.

A very nice look at a wonderful album. Perhaps a bit too long, and certainly too reverential. But wonderful listening.
