Thanks to Detta for the tip.

• From all reports I've seen, the recent 30th Anniversary Celebration DVD for sale from European sellers is a poor quality, abridged version of the official release, with many of the major performances missing. I'm undecided if it should be added to the Video page.

• In the pipeline:
New Dylan Cover Albums that have been announced and or rumored and will be added as soon as they are available:
• From Broadway to the Milky Way by How Many Roads (Germany - hope to have soon)
• In The Well by Kokomo (New Zealand - has been delayed several times, hopefully it will be available soon)
• The Phantom Engineers (Ireland - release unknown)

• R.I.P. - the passing of two performers who have covered Dylan:
• Danny Federici, of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band, covered Knockin' On Heaven's Door on his 2005 Jazz CD Out Of A Dream.
• Bluesman Sean Costello, who covered Obviously 5 Believers on the Blues On Blonde On Blonde album, and also Simple Twist Of Fate on his 2005 eponymous CD.

Minor site updates...

• I have added a list of Dylan Cover Albums and other CDs with 3 or more Dylan covers to the Dylan Covers at CD Baby page.

J.M. Baule additions

Two items have been added to the J.M. Baule section in the Translations pages of Dylan Cover Albums HERE.
Vinga! Bonga! is a 2006 CDR of songs in Catalán, including 3 Dylan translations of Blind Willie McTell, All Along The Watchtower, and The Man In Me. The majority of J.M.'s other Dylan covers are Castellano translations. With 3 Dylan songs this album wouldn't normally be listed on the main pages, but I've included it with J.M.'s four Dylan collections for those interested.
Also added is a 6-track CDR of Out-Takes from J.M.'s fourth Dylan album, Entre Dylan y yo. Included are Spanish versions of Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Just Like A Woman (in Catalán,) Tomorrow Is A Long Time, To Be Alone With You, Blind Willie McTell (Castellano version,) and Make You Feel My Love (Flute version.)
To inquire about these or any of J.M. Baule's recordings, use the "contacta" link on his website or from his MySpace page.

From the DylanCover.com collection:Marilyn Michaels

The Times They Are A-Changin' (2:37)
Marilyn Michaels
Times They Are A-Changin'
LP: ABC 613 (1967, US)

Marilyn Michaels is best known as an impressionist, and was a familiar face on TV talk shows and game shows. When this LP appeared in 1967, I would think many assumed the songs within were done in some of her many voices, but Marilyn sings in her own voice, no female-Dylan impression, nor her famous Barbra Streisand impersonation. Times is a typical mid-'60s pop production, with orchestra and a vocal chorus backing.
This LP is displayed twice at DylanCover.com: in Title Tracks, and in the Celebrities Collector's Guide.

Joel Shawn & JP Walker added to Dylan Cover Albums

You Know Something's Happening Here, a self-made CDR by the Japan-based duo Joel Shawn & J.P. Walker has been added to Dylan Cover Albums HERE. The 16 mostly acoustic tracks were recorded in Ibaraki Japan, Winter & Spring 2006. Joel and J.P. (J and J on MySpace) are members of the band Guru Monkey.
It's a nice, mostly mellow collection with a few rarely covered songs.
This CDR is available directly from the artists. You can listen to a few tracks, get more info and contact the band on their MySpace page (MySpace account required to use their messaging service.)
Thanks to Joel & J.P.

The tracklist:
On The Road Again / Positively 4th Street / Things Have Changed / Highway 61 Revisited / I and I / 4th Time Around / If You See Her Say Hello / You Ain't Goin' Nowhere / Blind Willie McTell / Temporary Like Achilles / Shelter From The Storm / One More Night / Ballad Of Hollis Brown / Tomorrow Is A Long Time / Ballad Of A Thin Man / Lay Down Your Weary Tune

The Phantom Engineers add the 2 "Trains"

The Phantom Engineers from Ireland have added listen-only covers of Slow Train and It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry to the audio-player on their MySpace page. Their three previous tracks are still available (and downloadable to MySpace users.)
The band has a CD in the works, more info will be posted when available.
