Editoral Review The tracks here range from the memorable and sometimes profound to forgettable and pleasant. In honor of Bob Dylan's 60th birthday--May 24, 2001--the singer-songwriters and roots musicians of Red House Records offer yet another homage to the master. With the exception of Eliza Gilkyson, whose gossamer version of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" opens the collection, the finest interpreters are the wise, time-worn voices who let the mysteries of Dylan's songs speak for themselves. Martin Simpson evokes the most heartbreaking tones of "Boots of Spanish Leather. " Norman Blake and Peter Ostroushko (the only performers on the disc who have recorded with Dylan) see into the old-timey, almost 19th-century spirit of "Restless Farewell. " Rosalie Sorrels, with her stately, burnished voice, gives perhaps the definitive version of "Tomorrow Is a Long Time. " On the other hand, Lucy Kaplansky, Cliff Eberhardt, and John Gorka indulge in an earnestness Dylan mostly eschewed. --Roy Kasten ..
