Minnesota based Red House have one of the very best rosters of singer/songwriters around, and on this disc 14 of them have each recorded a Bob Dylan cover to celebrate his 60th birthday. 'A Nod To Bob' is a superb mix of tracks taken from of 30 years of available material; it has some of the songs you'd expect, plus a few surprises.
It's difficult to pick highlights from a collection as strong as this, but Kaplansky's 'It Ain't Me Babe' and Eliza Gilkyson's ' Love Minus Zero/No Limit' are both excellent "straight" covers, but Eberhardt's 'I Want You' is a total reinterpretation of the track that sounds superb.
