Bob Dylan remains the single most influential singer-songwriter in the history of rock, but sometimes it can be an expensive--and repetitive--business keeping up with him. The original Bob Dylan Greatest Hits appeared in 1967, More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits followed in 1971; since then there have been two more Greatest Hits, The Best Of Volume 1 and a box set--1985's excellent Biograph--all of which have included Dylan's best-known songs. Not that Dylan doesn't merit such devotion, but for die hard fans The Best Of Bob Dylan Volume 2 will involve an inordinate amount of repetition, while newcomers to Dylan's genius are probably better served by 1997's The Best Of Bob Dylan which gathered together all those inspiring songs ("Blowin' In The Wind", "Like A Rolling Stone", "Forever Young", "Knockin' On Heaven's Door") for the first time.
Volume 2 once again finds space for "It Ain't Me Babe", "Hurricane" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"; but the real enticement is the inclusion of Dylan's first new song of the 21st Century--the driving and curiously compelling "Things Have Changed". There is also the bonus of an out-take from 1989's Oh Mercy: the original, undubbed "Dignity", one of Dylan's best songs of the last 20 years and the only one--so far!--to mention the Duke of Edinburgh. --Patrick Humphries
