Wynn Tackles the Dylan Songbook


Steve Wynn, solo artist and former front man for the Dream Syndicate, recently announced the first release from his new Short Run Records series. The series will include limited edition releases of recordings from the vault as well as new material that would not be included on standard releases. Steve Sings Bob is the first in the series and is limited to 300 copies, all of which will be signed by Steve.

This release includes several Bob Dylan covers that Wynn has recorded over the years.
