Knocking on Dylan's Door

"For anyone who admires Bob Dylan's songs, Bryan Ferry's singing, or "Flesh and Blood"-era Roxy Music this album has much to offer. I've played it many times since purchasing it shortly after its release and enjoyed it each time. Ferry has always had a knack for taking others' songs and making them his own. Perhaps my favorite cut on "Dylanesque" is the up tempo, New Wave take on "Simple Twist of Fate." My only complaint is that Ferry didn't dig more deeply into Dylan's vast song catalogue to select some less frequently covered tunes. Something from "Street Legal", for example, would have been preferable to yet another version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door.""
