Bob Dylan – Spotiguide Playlist on Spotify
Bob Dylan is one of a number of artists who hasn’t yet fully embraced Spotify. Last year, much of Dylan’s catalogue was removed from the service. “Unfortunately there are certain rights issues not resolved with this artist at this time,” explained Spotify. What that left us with was a rag-tag selection of live tracks, mis-labelled cover versions, and the odd decent Dylan recording tucked away on various artists compilations. However, over the past few months the number of tracks available has grown, and we’re now able to present a very decent “Best Of” Bob Dylan Spotify playlist.
Gathered together from lots of various artists compilations, the playlist feature many of the tracks from Dylan’s “Greatest Hits” and “Essential” releases, including Blowin’ In The Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin’, Subterranean Homesick Blues, and of course Like A Rolling Stone.
The 16-track playlist ends with Dreamin’ Of You, a single released from the 2010 release Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8. An encouraging sign – could future Dylan releases be set to appear on Spotify? And could there be a return for the Dylan back catalogue? Here’s hoping.
Coming next week – a Beatles playlist. Sort of. Stay tuned.
