Vedder, Sonic Youth, Tweedy Do Dylan For Soundtrack

Among the most intriguing songs are Dylan's own "I'm Not There," a rarity from "The Basement Tapes" era, as well as Sonic Youth's version of the same track. Vedder fronts the Million Dollar Bashers for "All Along the Watchtower," while Malkmus takes the mic with the group on "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Maggie's Farm." Fellow Matador artist Cat Power covers Dylan's "Stuck Inside of Mobile With Memphis Blues Again," which will not appear on her upcoming covers album, due early next year.

I'm mildly disappointed that Eddie Vedder is doing "All Along the Watchtower." I'm sure he'll do a fine job, but it's a tad predictable and it would be really interesting to hear him tackle something more obscure--and Bob Dylan has an amazing number of great, not over-played songs in his canon.

And what about a hip-hop version of "Joey" by Ghostface Killah? That would be amazing.
