Welcome to a long overdue new episode of Personal Picks. As with episode ten, this is going to be Bob Dylan centric but we're focusing on one album, the Basement Tapes, which was released in 1975 but was recorded largely in 1967 in Bob's basement. As with my last episode, we'll have five songs from Bob and five people covering him. To make it a bit more fun, I've taken five covers that Bob did for his selections.
The Songs
As I mentioned Bob's songs are all covers and really show his musical interests with folk ballads from around the world and some other interesting picks. For the covers, I looked up a few of my favourite Basement Tape songs and ended up getting a version of Wheels On Fire by Kylie Minogue! There are a few selections from the excellent soundtrack of I'm Not There. I also discovered an entire album of covers of Basement Tape songs from, a previously unknown to me, band called Famous Horses.
