Album Description The Simple Twist of Fate CD had its genesis several months ago, when Dave's True Story was invited to play the annual DylanFest at a winery in upstate NY. The assignment was simple--the repertoire must be all-Dylan. The band members (Kelly Flint: vocals, Dave Cantor: guitar, and Jeff Eyrich: standup bass) picked their favorite Dylan songs and went to work on transforming them into the Dave's True Story style. Just before going onstage Dave commented, "either we're going to be tarred, feathered and run out of town for taking liberties, or they're going to love it." The audience apparently loved it, as there were many requests afterward from people to "buy the CD." The band had a great time doing it, so the next week they convened at Bennett Studios in New Jersey and recorded their Dylan program, including "Simple Twist of Fate," "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," "I Want You," "Just Like a Woman," "You're a Big Girl Now," "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues," and a classic Dave rendition of "If Dogs Run Free."

CD ReviewsWhen the stuff is that good ... R. Cohen | Qc, canada | 11/09/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The material DTS chose to cover here includes some of the very very best Dylan songs. Add a nice voice and some fairly standard pop-jazz arrangements and you have a very nice easy listening CD. Nothing that'll knock your socks off except Bob's lyrics delivered by a lovely voice, with subtle musical backing. Nothing wrong with that." Interesting side project E. C Goodstein | Northern CA United States | 12/20/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I think this is great-- a nice suprise from the group & Kelly Flint's able to make the transition to Dylan songs very well. Also nice to hear Dave's more folk side of playing-- with still some nice little jazzy elements. I like all the 'Radio Mix' ones the most I think, & the slightly quickened pace of "Just Like Tom Thumb Blues" is a fine contrast to female covers like Judy Collins or Linda Ronstadt (& her lower voice too is distinctive contrast to them). I don't know if we need three versions of "You're a Big Girl Now," but interesting anyway. If you ever wondered what say, Peggy Lee, might sound like singing Dylan-- here's your chance. Maybe they can do some Joni Mitchell songs next!" Very enjoyable set (but hopelessly padded out) Siriam | London United Kingdom | 08/17/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Another Dylan compilation done by here the group post their appearing at a Dylan festival and performing the set - very mood enhancing interpretations of some great Dylan songs ("Simple twist of fate" and "Its all over now baby blue" especially) with a great vocal stylist in Kelly Flint who looked as though she would give the excellent Maria Muldaur set of Dylan love songs on "Heart of mine" a run for her money in the zone of bluesy jazz Dylan interpretations.
However the bummer (and reason for 4 stars) is the padding out of the CD by inclusion of 2 versions of both "Simple twist of fate" and "Its all over now baby blue" and three of "You're a big girl now"! Add a dispensable skat style version of "If dogs run free" and a group original "Blood & bone" and you are left wondering what might have been with a bit more discipline and adventurous spirit being applied by DTS." |
