This page contains items that aren't eligible for the main Searching For A Gem or International Stereo Releases lists because Bob does not personally perform on them, but are nevertheless of interest to Dylan collectors. There's no specific qualification for inclusion other than I have the item or it's been notified to me by a contributor as having a noteworthy Dylan connection. All candidates for inclusion will be assessed on their merits! This page includes songs by other artists that have been covered by Bob or are said to have influenced Bob, including all the songs he's played on his Theme Time Radio Hour programmes.

Richard Dyer-Bennet - "Requests 5" - stereo vinyl album, Dyer-Bennet Records SDYB 5764 (USA), 1958:
 Dyer-Bennet Records SDYB 5764 (USA) - front (my copy) |
This 1958 stereo LP from England-born US-based folk artist Richard Dyer-Bennet (1913-91) includes several traditional and other songs covered by Bob Dylan including Golden Vanity, Barbara Allen, John Henry and Spanish Is The Loving Tongue.

Jimmie Rodgers - "My Rough And Rowdy Ways" - mono vinyl album releases: RCA RD-27203 (UK)/RCA Victor LPJM-2112 (USA), 1960:
 RCA RD-27203 (UK) - front photocopy by Paul Shenton |
This album and its title track inspired the name of Bob's
2020 album Rough And Rowdy Ways. According to the liner notes the
song, co-written with his sister-in-law Elsie McWilliams, was inspired by
his time working as a brakeman on the railroad. It was first released as the
B-side of a 78rpm Victor single in 1929. Unusually for a UK album, there are only 12 songs compared with the US album's 16 songs (the last four songs on Side 2 of the US album are missing from the UK album). The rear sleeves use the same design but the front sleeves are completely different. Thanks to Paul Shenton for information and pictures. |

This is an album of traditional songs that were performed by Bob in the 1990s, plus a Bob talking song homage/pastiche Talkin’ Solo Acoustic Coffee House Massacre Blues!
