The 1980s were not Bob Dylan's most beloved creative period. After writing some of the most iconic songs of the '60s and '70s, the singer and songwriter hit a rough patch in the '80s with a string of slight albums that were often not well-received.
That's not to say that Dylan wasn't still writing good songs, though - he was, and A Tribute to Bob Dylan in the '80s: Volume One collects 17 of them, by artists including Built to Spill, Deer Tick, Blitzen Trapper, Glen Hansard, Hold Steady singer Craig Finn and Lucius.
