Blonde on the Tracks
(Tiny Ghost Records)
★★★
BLONDE on the Tracks is made up of eight Bob Dylan covers by Australian singer-songwriter Emma Swift, now based in Nashville.
It’s a neat idea and it's given extra resonance with Dylan having recently released Rough and Rowdy Ways, his 39th studio album.
