Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 26: Festivus Was Over, the Boys Were All Plannin' For a Fall - Various Artists *MODIFIED*

Happy Festivus everyone! Gather round the Festivus Pole and we'll have the Airing of Grievances, Feats of Strength, and maybe even a Festivus Miracle. We've got NSD debuts by Jackson Browne, Los Lobos and The Ramones, among others. We've got The Roots's epic version of "Masters of War." And we've got "the only known Bob Dylan Christmas song."

As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the nice folks who've sent me recordings (especially Ramone-master Gaston, who responded to my plea for "My Back Pages"), the fine artists who've created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. 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). If you've got something good, PM me. More volumes will follow in 2008.

Enjoy!
