Six dozen performers, one legend, and one good cause.
In salute to the advent of Bob Dylan as a performer during the civil rights movement, Amnesty International has just released a bargain-priced four CD set of Dylan’s work, covered by multiple artists across the musical spectrum, from the modern Cosmic American Music of My Morning Jacket to a torch-song read of “Simple Twist of Fate” by Diana Krall, all on behalf of Amnesty.
This week on OverEasy, Todd Berryman features songs from Disc 1 of the Chimes of Freedom set, including the above musicians, plus reads of Dylan favorites lovingly rendered by Sting, Mark Knopfler and many more – this Sunday, from 7 to 11 am AND pm, on 92.3 WTTS.
