Today is another Bob Dylan birthday! He is 82. I played a lot of Dylan's music throughout the day. I never get tired of his songs.
I've previously written in the blog about Dylan and his music... Bob Dylan 80, Reading About Dylan, Dylan in the Morning, Bob Dylan and the Prize and of course my Thin Man - Dylan Cycle mega mix. Probably the next time I write about him will be his passing which I hope isn't any time soon.
I also really like the endless interpretations of his music by other artists. I was recently updating my covers mixes and of course Bob Dylan songs seem to appear on every mix.
I spent some time going through my collection making a list and counting my Dylan albums. I was surprised to see that I had 62 albums including compilations and live sets. There are 32 studio albums in the collection. I stopped collecting albums when I retired in late 2016. He has released several albums since then which I've listened to on Spotify.
I also have several albums of Dylan cover songs including a 4 CD box set. They are a lot of fun and good source material for my cover mixes.
