Play lady play

Play Lady Play is a collection of articles relating to interpretations of Bob Dylan’s songs by lady performers.

Throughout the recordings are selected by Aaron Galbraith, based in the USA.  Aaron then sends his selection to Tony Attwood in England who then writes the commentary.

There’s no special reason why we chose to do it this way, but it just seems like a fun way to create the reviews.  It works for us – we can only hope it does for you.
