Album Description Doghouse Records proudly presents Paupers, Peasants, Princes & Kings: The Songs Of Bob Dylan, a collection of some of Dylan's most adored and beloved classics reworked, retuned and rejuvenated by some of today's most adored and beloved bands. Each band involvedÑfrom established acts like Gatsby's American Dream, Apollo Sunshine and Say Anything featuring Saves The Day's Chris Conley, to newcomers like Rachel Cantu, the Casual Lean and Down To Earth ApproachÑhad complete freedom and unconditional support when choosing which Dylan song to recreate and how to make it their own. From the hip-hop coolness of P.O.S.'s version of "All Along The Watchtower" to the schizophrenic cacophony of "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Met)" by Panama Jerk, Paupers, Peasants, Princes & Kings is as diverse and unique as Dylan, himself. Each band adds their own personality to the song they chose to cover, making every track a highlight. The Honorary Title's acoustic homage! to "A Simple Twist Of Fate," features vocals so tender and true to the original, Dylan might want to issue a paternity test for lead singer Jarrod Gorbel. "If Not For You," interpreted by Boston noise-core band Read Yellow might not be immediately recognizable to the version first heard on New Morning, but it's imagination and offbeat instrumentation surge new life into an otherwise mellow and meditative track. And Limbeck's laid-back approach to "Tonight, I'll Be Staying Here With You" is an alt-country infused celebration of life, love and Dylan!

CD ReviewsThis record means the end of the world has come L. Nally | pa | 10/18/2006 (1 out of 5 stars) "this record is the end of the world. when the songs of the greatest artist of the 20th century are defiled in the worst way. these bands dont dont anything about anything. these covers are among the worst ever in the history of the world, and it is a shame they are covers of the best songs in the history of the world. these bands are wretched. they have disrespected dylan to the highest degree. among the worst tracks on this record: dont think twice, extraordinarily whiny yelling annoying, my back pages: way to cover a cover you idiots, couldnt even be creative with the song and do it your own way, you re-created the byrds' cover, but just defiled that as well, if not for you: this band is probably the highest offense on this album, the distorted annoying guitars, do an immeasureable dishomage to a great work of art. lastly, the man in me. you people are horrible. great disappointment." These song arrangements are truly awful. ACP | connecticut | 03/10/2007 (1 out of 5 stars) " On most of the songs in this compilation, the musicians' goal appears to have been to race through the song as quickly as possible without any attempt to understand or reflect the meaning of the song. These are Dylan songs, for chrissake. The lyrics are important. In any event, I regret buying this, and I'm sure I'll never listen to any of it ever again. " Emo + Dylan = Shotgun Blast to the Head A. Liebling | Long Island City, NY United States | 05/20/2006 (1 out of 5 stars) "Wasn't there just a crappy comp of crappy emo bands covering Bob Dylan? How many of these do we really need? Except for a somewhat clever hip hop version of All Along The Watchtower, this is complete garbage."
