I agree with Rok2id. It has very little to do with Dylan while there are plenty of very young interesting artists that can sing similar songs even better IMHO. One of them is Paolo Nutini http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiI8HGTq6d4
The new Bob Dylan
I think the torche has been passed to the young and super talented
Jake Bugg. (see his debut Jake Bugg)
His voice sounds well worn, his songwriting and production are so strong , that veteran musicians with 25 years on the business would be lucky to produce an album this great. This kid is like 19 years old!! On some songs his youth is used to sound fresh and exciting , while on other tracks he sounds like a fifty year old troubadour . A stunning first album! Take a listen on Spotify or MoG, or buy the cd. I expect a brilliant future for this kid .
