Bob Dylan is in the news a lot lately thanks to the biopic A Complete Unknown, and now his music is being celebrated again, this time by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart.
Stewart is set to release the limited-edition vinyl Dave Does Dylan on April 12 for Record Store Day.
The album features 14 “pure and unedited” live covers of Dylan classics, including “Forever Young,” “Make You Feel My Love,” “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright.”
Stewart and Dylan have become friends over the years, and Stewart notes, “I’m so, so grateful for getting to know him personally and to now record this album of songs after years of singing them to friends and to myself.”
“It’s been a long road and these lyrics and melodies have kept me company through the best and the worst of times,” he adds. “I hope my album can do the same for Dylan fans out there—who understand the mastery and the mystery Bob has bestowed on us, and still does to this day.”
And Stewart is planning to play some of those covers live when he tapes an episode of Recorded Live at Analog on March 22 at Analog inside The Hutton Hotel in Nashville. The show will air on PBS in July.
