The project features Lou Reed, David Crosby, Bob Seger & others
On October 4th, Bear Family Records will release a stunning compilation album, He Took Us By Storm: 25 Lost Classics From The Bob Dylan Folk-Rock Revolution Era. This new compilation celebrates the iconic musician and songwriter who transformed folk and rock music in the ’60s, becoming a global symbol of cultural revolution in youth movements: Bob Dylan.
French music producer Philippe Le Bras spent years developing the concept of a compilation on which Dylan’s influence is obvious with every note. While there isn’t a cover of his songs on this CD, the master’s influence is unmistakable on every track, leaving his mark on both the music and the performers. The remarkable line-up of artists includes Lou Reed, Leon Russell, David Crosby, Boz Scaggs, Bob Seger, Dion, Bobby Darin, Tom Rush, Len Chandler, Dion, Peter La Farge, Barry McGuire, Casey Anderson, Ferré Grignard, Dick Campbell, P.F. Sloan, Dean DeWolf, Johnny Winter, Billy Joe Royal, David Blue and many others.
The album’s beautiful packaging includes a foreword by the late John Sinclair, essays by Iggy Pop and Elliott Murphy, extensive liner notes and numerous rare illustrations and memorabilia in a 48-page booklet.
