This week on the podcast we conclude our two-part celebration of Bob Dylan’s 83rd birthday. We’ll hear more of my favorite covers of Bob Dylan’s best tunes. We have Rhiannon Giddens, Willie Nelson, The Byrds, Martin Simpson and some from Bob as well. The celebration continues … this week on The Sing Out Radio Magazine.
