Michel & Bob Dylan Fest 2009

Michel Montecrossa's annual Michel & Bob Dylan Fest 2009 set has been announced. The 2009 set includes 4 audio CDs (or alternately 4 DVDs) of this year's event, plus 2 DVDs with unrelated Montecrossa films with no Dylan content.
The Fest CDs include only 7 Dylan-penned songs, so this years edition does not qualify for inclusion in the Dylan Cover Albums pages. An additional 12 tracks are songs that Dylan himself has covered or are somehow Dylan related. Most of the covers and Dylan-related songs are from Bob's "Tell Tale Signs" collection or are unreleased Basement Tapes songs.
Read the press release at mirapuri-enterprises.com
Unknown if the new release will be available at Amazon or iTunes like some of the previous year's collections.
The Dylan covers:
Can't Escape From You / Dreamin' Of You / Marchin' To The City / Red River Shore / City Of Gold / I'm Not There / One Man's Loss
The Dylan-related songs include:
Diamond Joe / 32-20 Blues / Mary And The Soldier / Duncan And Brady / Girl On The Green Briar Shore / Miss The Mississippi And You / Dixie and others

23 new in Dylan Title Tracks

Dylan Title Tracks has been updated with 23 new items, for a new total of 1,549.
Included is this Melanie single from Australia, unusual in that it has Mr. Tambourine Man as the A-side

Yet another BobFest reissue

Thanks to all who have reported this CD (and DVD) available from many major retailers, however Tribute to Dylan is yet another abridged reissue of the 30th Anniversary Concert, a.k.a. BobFest. I have added it to the BobFest page along with all the previous unofficial and semi-official versions released by various minor labels, but I will only make additions to the main site page if Sony/Columbia reissues the concert.

More Dylan Mania info

The Dylan Mania CD has several tracks not listed on the download version at Amazon, it's unknown at this time if these are exclusive to the CD or just missing from the download tracklist. Additional tracks are All Along The Watchtower by Jehro, and Bryan Ferry's 1973 A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. Also included as hidden tracks are the Hurricane instrumental by Vitamin String Quartet from 2003's String Quartet Tribute to Bob Dylan, and Apothecary, Dylan's own spoken-word passage from No Direction Home ("I’m looking for a place that will, collect clip bath & return my dog. Cigarettes and Tobacco," etc...)
Ferry's track seems like an odd choice for this collection, the next oldest track being VSQ's Hurricane from 2003!
The tracklist reported earlier has been amended.

Thanks to Jean Fernandez for the added information
