Part of what makes Bob Dylan such a great songwriter is that countless artists have reinterpreted his songs and the songs really have a life of their own. On March 25th of this year, a new tribute album will be released called Bob Dylan In The 80s: Volume One. You can pre-order vinyl, digital download, and CD versions of the record at ATO Records.

The first single from the album released on the internet is Built To Spill's version of "Jokerman" which first appeared on Dylan's Infidels in 1983. The original song had a reggae vibe, but Built To Spill gives it more of a straight forward garage rock vibe. Check out the original:
