Una super raccolta “Chimes Of Freedom The Songs of Bob Dylan“, messa insieme per celebrare i 50 anni di Amnesty International assemblando un cast stellare per interpretare alcune tra le canzoni migliori di Bob Dylan. Un’edizione con due cd o una deluxe con quattro dischi per chi è più completista è quanto viene offerto nei negozi, parlando di musica siamo di fronte a oltre 70 rivisitazioni che spaziano tra generi come il soul, il pop, il punk, versioni dal vivo e tutto quant’altro possiate immaginare. Per la colossale opera di costruzione che è stata pianificata per questo anniversario, “Chimes Of Freedom The Songs of Bob Dylan” merita attenzione a prescindere. Siate voi a decretare chi se l’è cavata bene e chi da schifo, chi c’è e chi manca, resta il fatto che siamo di fronte a un’operazione ben fatta e consigliabile a chiunque ami la musica e anche a chi magari (povero lui) non conosce molto Bob Dylan…
