This week on the Magazine we begin a two-part feature celebrating Bob Dylan’s 83rd birthday. We’ll hear a mix of some of my favorite covers of Bob’s best tunes. Up this week: Judy Collins, Marley’s Ghost, Fotheringay, Eric Clapton and many others. We’ll help Bob celebrate his special day … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
