Chicago Bob Dylan Cover Band Offers Bob Dylan Music For Fans Who Can't Wait For The Next Tour Stop

Bob Dylan is one of the most prolific songwriters in American history but is also one of the most hardworking musicians as well, performing so often that it seems his tour never takes a break. His tours are all now called "The Neverending Tour" affectionately as they are more of a continuous string of shows then a "new" tour as other musicians do. Even though he continues to write and perform new music, his tour evolves as it goes around and around the world. Set lists change constantly as well as the feeling of the songs. The music and shows are wonderful and Bob can be counted on to change things up all the time. He has surrounded himself with a great band and his music remains powerful and relevent. Quite a task considering his 5 decades of songwriting and performing.
In Chicago, you are able to see one of the best sets of Dylan music by a local band who continues to play many of the older "hits" of Dylan. Described by the Chicago Tribune as "appropriately nasally", this band brings the music of Dylan into the small clubs and theaters in Chicago and is turning on younger folks to many of Dylan's older "hits". While it has been a long time since Dylan has performed songs like Idiot Wind or Hurricane, these are staples for the Blood on the Tracks band.
Started by Ron Cohler, the singer, the band attempts to bring Dylan's songs to a local audience. Ron is uncanny as the younger Dylan, making songs that can be 50 years old sound new and fresh but at the same time, totally Dylan. The band is not trying to look like Dylan's band - they try to sound like Dylan's bands! They can be heard on dylanradio.com and ended up in the top 10 for the "Best Dylan cover band" contest recently held by that internet radio station. This world class Dylan cover should be considered when you are in Chicago looking for some great music.
