When you say the name Bob Dylan - It says a lot!  I mean, in regards to one of the most prolific poets/singers/writers of all time.  Now the truth be told - Dylan is polarizing.  You either LOVE him or HATE him but regardless, you have to respect him.   In January Amnesty International released Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan and for the money - this thing is awesome!   75 Songs in all and the artists that participated are like a page out of a Rock and Roll Encyclopedia.  Everyone and their brother threw in a Dylan Cover for this album (literally - see Natasha and Daniel Bedingfield)

Here's what the website says about the record:

Chimes of Freedom features a stellar and diverse group of artists across the generational and musical spectrum. The performers, including many of Amnesty International's longtime supporters, range in age from  Miley Cyrus, 19, to folk music legend Pete Seeger, who, at 92, records Dylan's poignant "Forever Young," with a children's chorus.
