New in the DylanCover.com collection: Rock Along: Whooz-It

Man Gave Names To All The Animals (3:18)
Rock Along
Whooz-It
CD: Maranatha 7-10-026067-1; 1989 (US)

Another obscure cover from the CCM genre, a rather standard version of Animals. I'm not sure if the artists & title are correct, I can't find any specific info about the album or the band, if it is a formal band. Most catalogs or listings show it as above, but a few reverse the names (Rock Along by Whooz-It), and still others list it as a various artists CD titled "RockAlong: Whooz-It"! "Whooz-It" only appears on the spine of the CD and on the disc. The liner notes do not clear up the confusion, listing members of "the band" (Dennis Holt, Glen Holmen, Marty Walsh, Alex MacDougall, Brad Cole.) The core of this group have appeared on other albums as session players. Also listed are 7 main + 6 additional singers (lead vocal on Animals by Moses Toth.) So it's also possible it's a studio project with no group name.
I have listed it in the DataBase as by Rock Along. Any additional info would be appreciated.

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Nichole Nordeman

Gotta Serve Somebody (3:56)
Nichole Nordeman
Brave
CD: Sparrow SPD63575; 2005 (US)

Contemporary Christian artist Nichole Nordeman's take on Gotta Serve Somebody is more techno/synth sounding that you would expect in the CCM genre. For better or worse depending on the listener, it's a change from the gospel-rock and traditional gospel versions.
Availabile from:
amazon.com / amazon.co.uk / amazon.de / amazon.ca

NEW! Dylan Cover Albums VIDEO page

I have added a VIDEO page to Dylan Cover Albums. Only official, commercially released videos in all formats will be included.
A button to access the new page has been added to the Dylan Cover Albums main page.
Only 3 items are currently listed: Bryan Ferry's Dylanesque Live, The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration, and Gotta Serve Somebody: The Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan.

19K+

A rush of new additions in the last week has pushed the total number of covers listed in the master Dylan Covers DataBase well over 19,000. These new additions will appear in the on-line DataBase at the July 1st update, but can be previewed in the Next Update Preview.

Also, the recent addition of many new images have helped me reach the goal of less than 10% of the DataBase needing scans. It is likely that some of those remaining should be marked as n/a (not applicable - i.e. downloads, circulating, or other items with no associated artwork.)
As of this posting:
Total covers listed:.......19,149
With images:................9,701 - 50.7%
Images not applicable (n/a):7,575 - 39.6%
Scans needed:...............1,819 - 9.5%

Thanks to all who contributed additions and/or image scans this month.

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Mark Haines & The Zippers

Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat (4:17)
Like A Rolling Stone (5:32)
Mark Haines & The Zippers
Like It Is - Live!
Cassette: Mark Haines Bizz MHZL93-4; 1992 (Canada)


Out of print self-release from one of Ontario's best bar bands in their day. For years they were the house band at Jake's Boathouse in Brampton, where this album was recorded September 26 & 27, 1992. On my cassette it says the album was available on tape or CD at the venue, so perhaps it was not distributed further than that and will be a tough one to find.
Mark Haines now performs as a duo with ex-Zipper Tom Leighton. They covered When The Ship Comes In on their 2001 album Hand to Hand. haines-leighton.com

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Radio Flyer

One Too Many Mornings (4:02)
Radio Flyer
Old Strings New Strings
CD: Turquoise TR-CD-5079; 1991 (US)

Radio Flyer was a Missouri-based progressive bluegrass (aka "newgrass") band that recorded several albums in the '90s. Their take on One Too Many Mornings on this, their debut album, features some nice banjo picking and vocal harmonies.
The band name of course refers to the Radio Flyer toy wagon, always red, that many of us (in the US, anyway) had as kids. A tiny red wagon logo can be seen on the cover.
This CD is listed in the Bluegrass Collector's Guide.
Check for availability of used CDs at:

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Bob Riley & The Fishers

Everything Is Broken
All Along The Watchtower
I Pity The Poor Immigrant
What Good Am I?
Bob Riley & The Fishers
Tanakh Rocks:
Old Testament Songs
CD: ©Bob Riley; 2007 (US)

This album by Hawaii-based Bob Riley & The Fishers sets Old Testament scriptures to music, and uses 4 Dylan covers to illustrate others. On Everything Is Broken and Watchtower, both sung by Riley, he reads the relevant scripture near the end of each song. I Pity The Poor Immigrant and What Good Am I? are sung by Sunshine Petropoullakis, with no scripture passages added.
The version of this album as illustrated here is listed at the
Bob Riley & The Fishers website.
A version listed at CD Baby has a slightly different title (Rockin Tanakh), different artwork and a different tracklist, without Everything is Broken and Watchtower. It's dated 2006, so probably it is an earlier version. The CD Baby listing notes Jerusalem Records as the label, but there is no mention of this on the version shown here. Samples of the last 2 covers are available at CD Baby.
The Old Testament passages related to the Dylan songs:
Everything Is Broken - Psalm 34:20
All Along The Watchtower - Isaiah 21:8
I Pity The Poor Immigrant - Exodus 32:31 & 32
What Good Am I? - Lev 19:18.

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Rita di Ghent

Just Like A Woman (5:18)
Rita di Ghent
The Birth of Sprawl
CD: Groove Productions GPCD1298; 1999 (Canada)

Canadian jazz singer Rita di Ghent's torch song rendition of Just Like A Woman is one of the slower tempo versions you're likely to hear. Despite skipping the second verse of the song, the track is still over 5 minutes. Just Like A Woman is also included as a bonus track on di Ghent's 2003 album The Standards Sessions 2, I haven't been able to determine if it is this version or a different recording.
This CD has been added to the Jazz Collector's Guide.
Available at:

• The complete recording of All Along The Watchtower by Everlast and B Real is available as a mp3 from the B Real website (near end of "collaborations" section.) This rap version was used on the soundtrack of the videogame Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, I don't know if this full version appeared on any audio CD by either Everlast or B Real.
A trailer of the track as used in the videogame can be seen HERE

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Bill Henderson

Lay Down Your Weary Tune (3:00)
Bill Henderson
When My Dreamboat Comes Home
LP: Verve V6-8619; 1965 (US)

Vocalist Bill Henderson began singing professionally in Chicago in 1952, where he worked with Ramsey Lewis, later moving to New York and working with Horace Silver and Jimmy Smith.
He recorded several albums for Vee-Jay in the early '60s before this LP for Verve in 1965, and 2 more albums for a small label in the '70s and rarely since. He sings blues, ballads, and swing tunes as well as jazz, this album and his cover of Lay Down Your Weary Tune is more pop-music in style. Still, this is one of the earliest vocal Dylan covers by anyone in the jazz world.
To my knowledge, this recording has not been issued on CD.
