In Brief

Singer-mandolinist O’Brien has pulled off something magnificent: a full album of Bob Dylan songs that’s well more than the sum of its estimable parts. His inspired acoustic bluegrass and folk settings expose new facets of songs familiar and obscure while subtly, powerfully and inextricably linking them to the rich body of American folk music.
