In my years of keeping track of my year end lists I never had a covers album come even close to being the best album of the year, this one might have a chance.
The soundtrack to the Bob Dylan Biopic "I'm Not Here" has some great renditions of Dylan tunes which include Jeff Tweedy, Eddie Vedder, Jim James & Calexico and The Black Keys.
The soundtrack album will be released on October 30, 2007.
The Million Dollar Bashers are a supergroup featuring Sonic Youth stars Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, Dylan bassist Tony Garnier, guitarist Smokey Hormel and keyboardist John Medeski.[5]

Brilliant Playlist and thanks to helper monkey too. Nice post brother man.
I am back from a mini-get-away. I went to the OSU Penn State game...well it wasn't much of a game but it's always fun to go to a game. The website will get updated soon.
Correction about me picking up the album, I just got it tonight to preview! Hurray for being a college radio dj, which reminds me, everyone please listen to my show :)

You are the best.
