Second music project finished in one month

Wow. A SECOND music project finished in one month. It's been hard, but totally worthwhile. This second project was interesting, because it forced me to re-listen to a whole lot of discs I received in 2007 and 2008 on the RMAS Mix Disc project.

Bob Dylan Covers Compilation - FINALLY finished

After months of hemming and hawing (what is that btw?) and delaying and putting it aside, I finally got around to "slimming down" the first compilation I created and now have a much more manageable and listenable set of discs. This originates from the 26 disc Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan covers compilation I grabbed from Dime in 2008. 26 discs, 400+ songs was whittled down to 13 discs, 195 songs. I still felt this was too much and put the project aside for quite a while until I finally got tired of seeing the discs sitting on my desk in the den. So, I re-listened to the 13 discs and pared it down to about 90 songs and 6 discs. I like this A LOT, and while I didn't think about the order of the songs and themes, I think it came out pretty darn good. Here is the list of songs:
