The album includes six Dylan songs: Queen Jane Approximately / Catfish / Emotionally Yours / Love Minus Zero/No Limit / Forever Young / From A Buick 6, plus the Dylan-related traditional Belle Isle.

Piotr Krupa: Twój w Pamięci Ślad

Recently discovered on-line is this CD of Polish Dylan covers by Piotr Krupa. The 13-song CD Twój w Pamięci Ślad: Pieśni Boba Dylana was released in 2008 by Folk Factory Records.
Unfortunately both the label's website and e-mail address appear to be defunct, and e-mails to other contact addresses have so far received no response, so current status of the album is unknown. I will add the album to the site when more information is available.
Found at piotrkrupa.com
Thanks to Anton Bohnen for the report

The tracklist:
Ja Nim Nie Będę (It Ain't Me Babe)
Jutro Jest Bardzo Daleko (Tomorrow Is A Long Time)
Gończy List (Wanted Man)
Dziewczyna Z Północnych Stron (Girl From The North Country)
Każdy Musi Zostać Zatłuczony (Rainy Day Women #12 & 35)
I Z Nami Był Bóg (With God On Our Side)
Nie Martw Się, Wszystko Gra (Don't Think Twice)
Jeszcze Jedna Kawa (One More Cup Of Coffee)
Odrzuciłem To Jak Śmieć (I Threw It All Away)
Twój W Pamięci Ślad (I'll Remember You)
Ona Należy Do Mnie (She Belongs To Me)
Tak Jak Kobieta (Just Like A Woman)
Zabij Ten Świat (License To Kill)

Busy December

If you were away or busy during the Holidays, I suggest browsing through the December posts... several albums were added to the site and much more activity during the month.

Miscellaneous ramblings...

» The next and last DataBase update for 2010 will be at the end of the month.

» Two covers in the Dutch Gronings dialect will be added to the DataBase at the next update, both are Make You Feel My Love but they are different translations:
- Wia Buze - Ik mag die aibels geern on Mien wad, mien stilte (2009)
- Irene Wilkens - Wait dat ik van die hol on Voutstappen in de snij [2010 EP]
Thanks to Hans Bosch

While there are probably "Gronings" covers listed only as "Dutch," these are the first two labeled as "Gronings" in the DataBase.
I appreciate any details about the dialects or languages of translated covers, either new or already listed.













»
The mid-60s live covers by Hugues Aufray have been updated in the DB to show their original LP releases (Olympia 64 and En direct de l'Olympia,) previously I only had info of the later CD reissues. The Aufray Collector's Guide has also been updated.
