This is SO GOOD! The Sergio Mendes/Bob Dylan transition is excellent, then to follow it up w/Phil Phillips, T. Rex & Otis Redding is inspired. Cascades to Bowie is also great, as is the inclusion of Os Mutantes. Excellent in every way!

I could live very well without that terrible Bob Dylan song, but otherwise this looks just excellent.

Wow! Where'd you find Dylan covering Guns 'N' Roses? You can get some unusual stuff on those file sharing sites. First rate mix.

"To bring it all back home: The paradox of Bob Dylan's reputation is that he is regarded as our greatest rock artist without having made the records -- the completed works -- that should support that reputation. When compared to people who are thought (usually mistakenly so, in my view) to have made their records in the same natural, unproduced style in which he has made his, I find him wanting: He has made no single cut to equal Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train," Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," Jerry Lee Lewis's "Breathless," Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally." If compared to the records of musicians whose work is thought to owe its quality to production, I find him wanting: He's made no single record to equal the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" or Martha and the Vandellas' "Heat Wave." If compared to contemporary rock & roll bands, I find him wanting: He's made nothing to equal the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby," the Who's "My Generation" or the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" (or "Get Off My Cloud" or "Tumbling Dice"). If compared to the trash-rock of the bar lounges, I find him wanting: He's made no records to equal Gary (U.S.) Bonds's "Quarter to Three" or Joey Dee and the Starliters' "Peppermint Twist" . . .
Consider this: Dylan is supposed to be the standard against which so many have measured rock for the past ten years. But if the reader can allow that any record by performers obviously lacking Dylan's broader artistic credentials equals or surpasses his, then his position as a premier recording artist is called into question.

It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies. But it does matter whether or not the sum total of Dylan's talents has added up to the making of great records. By and large I don't believe that they have and, if the unit of rock & roll art were only what survives on vinyl, exclusive of anything else and undivided into its component parts, then I don't believe that Bob Dylan would qualify as a great rock artist."

Jon Landau in his original review of "Blood on the Tracks" in Rolling Stone.

Sorry, but to me this just about sums it up quite neatly. ;)

I completely disagree with Mr Mohr or John Landau (whoever he might be)..yes Dylan has recorded some crap but in my humble opinion Like A Rolling Stone is one track that compares to everything mentioned...Subterrenean Homesick Blues is another...and it should be said that unlike Elvis, Berry, LR, The Ronettes, M&V'S Dylan made albums not singles...and how can BBoys, Stones & The Who be considered contemporary?????? And quite frankly I find Charlie Chaplin the most over-rated figure in The History of Hollywood!

A cool mix...I can't even try to analyze Bob Dylan's overall greatness, but I do like that Cascades song.

Landau was barely a step away from accusing Dylan of not mastering the pan flute with the flair of Zamfir.

I really dig this. And everyone knows that Dylan was a hack who stole everything from Woody Guthrie. (I kid, I kid...)

IMHO, Bob Dylan was consistently amazing from Freewheelin' through Street-Legal. After that, aside from a few minor exceptions, I probably agree with Landau.

You always go in unexpected, and delightful directions on your mixes. While there is a song I could do without, it's not the Dylan tune.

girl groups, boy groups, & a splash of French dressing - I'm feeling that nostalgia, all right.
