And the Winner is...

The winner of DylanRadio.com's Battle of the Dylan Cover Bands is If Not For You by David Bertsch. Big Son's version of the same song takes 2nd place. 3rd place as determined by popular vote is One Too Many Mornings by Jacques Mees.
[More info]
All of this year's entries will remain available by request on the DylanRadio.com playlist.

All 60 have been added or updated in the Dylan Covers DataBase. Pre-existing covers have had DylanRadio.com listed as a secondary source. I have assumed the entries are the same recordings as already listed, although in some cases the credit was changed from a group to solo or vice versa. Most likely a few other new additions are also duplicates of earlier listings but I lack the info to make that determination.
