Hear Music has a picture of the cover of what is supposedly the latest in their Artist's Choice series, this time chosen by Bob Dylan. It says it is due on 2/26/08, but I haven't heard anything about it. Anybody know anything?

I've enjoyed all of the entries in this series, but isn't one for Bob kinda redundant when his weekly radio show is essentially his ARTIST'S CHOICE? Still, I'm curious to see the track list!

I agree. I'd just as soon see (or hear) his radio show on a series of CDs. There was the one promo, the baseball themed radio hour -- it'd be nice to see more released, even if exclusively as downloads.

DYLAN COMPILES CD FOR STARBUCKS Uncut.co.uk reveals the tracklisting

Bob Dylan has compiled an album of his favourite music for Starbucks coffee chain.

Marketed under the slogan 'the music that matters to him', it is the third release in Starbuck's 'Artist's Choice' series and follows similar compilations by Joni Mitchell and Elvis Costello.

Available in Starbucks outlets from February 26, the tracklist reflects the broad tastes Dylan has shown in his Theme Time Radio Hour show, with a heavy bias towards the blues, country, jazz and r&b singers he heard on the radio while growing up in Minnesota.

Costello and Mitchell supplied track-by-track notes to their selections, explaining what the songs meant to them. It is not yet clear whether Dylan has written similar notes to accompany his choices.

Meanwhile, Ace Records is releasing a two CD set ''Theme Time Radio Hour With Your Host Bob Dylan'', containing 50 tracks from the show. There have been several similar compilations - including Uncut's own ''Radio Bob'' CD in August 2007 - but the Ace collection is the first to be officially authorised by Dylan and is co-produced by his manager Jeff Rosen.

Here is the full track listing of Dylan's ''Artist's Choice''
