It's not a mystery that Bob Dylan smoked a few pounds of weed in his time. Therefore it's also not a surprise that the folk/rock troubadour will be covered by some of today's leading reggae acts. Is It Rolling Bob? is a 16-track album featuring Gregory Isaacs and Toots Hibbert covering some of Dylan's biggest tunes, reggae style. Founder of the RAS label Gary Himelfarb conceived the idea for the album. This is what he had to say of the legendary songwriter: "a voice of the oppressed in the 1960s, just as Bob Marley was a voice of the oppressed in the 1970s." The album is scheduled to be released sometime in August. (Arrow FM)
