> Well, I hope you enjoy it, Frownland. It`ll help if you like light, well-crafted covers of old-time music. And you`ve given me some homework to do, as I know next-to-nothing about Taj Mahal. Thanks for prompting me to investigate.

> Yes, without thinking it through, Swordfisherman, I wondered why Music From Big Pink was described as "Ground Zero in the roots rock revival". Maybe it`s a cheap shot, but surely all the tracks on Big Pink are original Dylan/Band compositions; what`s revivalist about that ?

> No way I could work my way through Dylan`s discography either, Chives, however much I like various individual albums. Hat`s off to you for persevering for so long !
