...Series Vol.4 - Bob Dylan Live 1966." Subtitle: "The 'Royal Albert Hall' Concert" Venue: Manchester Free Trade Hall, May 1966 ...Background... Bob Dylan had shot to fame for taking Folk music to the front of international consciousness. From the early unique styled Folk album 'Bob Dylan' Dylan had in fact constantly been shifting his direction. He became the most respected protest songwriter of the time and his songs became anthems for the peace and love movement. With the socially conscious, politically motivating messages Bob Dylan had won the respect of not just society as a whole but also of the intellectual elite.

Disadvantages: A few good tracks missed this set

...of fire" and the classic "Walk the line" Eva Cassidy is another of the more newer artist to hit the country scene and with her angelic voice she is not always seen as country singer, more folk/Jazz.

"Aftershock" - Slave to the Vibe (12" club mix) Maybe it's this extended 12" mix (that Hed Handi is all about), but I remember this track being much better... 5. "Push the feeling on... Read review
