The right musicians were essential to making this project a creative success.
When I first heard Tim Hockenberry, it was clear he had a rare gift.
Not only is his voice a refined instrument, but he has the talent and restraint to bring poignancy and new life to a familiar lyric. From the day we sat down to begin this record, it felt like something special was in the air.
We have been extremely lucky to have the contributions of other great musicians on this record. Bonnie Raitt, George Marinelli, Ricky Fataar
and others helped bring this record home.

Mostly Dylan review excerpts:
"Mostly Dylan, brings an exciting feeling of freshness to Dylan's great material. On this album the newness comes mainly from the superb production of Tom Corwin, who's previously worked with Bonnie Raitt, Chris Smither and Rory Block. Raitt joins in a splendid performance on "Mr. Tambourine Man", accompanied by the razor-sharp drum work of veteran Ricky Fataar."
Corwin and Hockenberry unmistakably prefer Dylan's older work. They provide a heartbreaking rendition of 'One Too Many Mornings', and 'The Times they are a Changing' sounds much more dramatic than the original.
"The album's second to last song is an extremely laid-back after-hours interpretation of "Rainy Day Women 12 & 35". Tom Waits would have been proud."

"Unique yet familiar"
Highly recommended. Some unique arrangements of these familiar Dylan tunes. Tim Hockenberry's voice fits the material well. Two originals join the 10 Dylan songs, and Bonnie Raitt plays slide on Mr. Tambourine Man. One of the more enjoyable Dylan cover albums released in 2004.
