Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 8: Get Your Rocks Off!
Various Artists

A little while back, someone PM'd me suggesting a rockin' volume of the NSD series. Here it is... I hope it rocks sufficiently!

For those of you who don't know it, the third track, "Walk Out in the Rain," was co-written by Dylan and backup singer Helena Springs in 1978. Dylan has never released the song himself.

Special thanks this time to Thomas Church and Sixties Guy Dan, each of whom sent me CDs full of their favorite Dylan covers. Thanks as well to all the other folks who've sent me suggestions and files, along with the tapers, the original uploaders, and especially the performers and composer. Pdiamond and dsgtrane have been kind enough to create great artwork for the first six volumes, and hopefully one or both of them or someone else will do the same for this one. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Enjoy!
