American independent label Drive Thru Records is planning on releasing an album of Bob Dylan cover versions recorded by young pop-punk bands. The label's owners hope the album will introduce young music fans to Dylan's songwriting genius.
A statement from the label reads: "The goal of the CD is to introduce a newer, younger generation of listeners to Bob Dylan's music through artists that they love, the same way we (Stefanie and Richard, Drive Thru owners) were introduced to his music through one of our favorite bands, The Alarm, back in the mid-'90s".
No word yet on which artists will be involved in the project.
