There are tributes and there are tributes. This one, produced by Alain Weber, features transfigured versions of Bob Dylan songs done in various styles covering the globe, from Cuba to Bengal, Taiwan, Hungary, Rumania, India, Australia, and points here and there in between, illustrates how wide Dylan's songs and influence actually reach, and may well be one of the most eye-opening and unusual tributes in recent memory. ~ Steve Leggett
