Theme Time Radio Hour: Season 2 / Various Theme Time Radio Hour: Season 2 / Various CD

2009 double CD release paying tribute to the second season of Theme Time Radio Hour hosted by Bob Dylan. For those that are new to the show, each program lasts an hour and has a different theme each week. Each track is introduced by Dylan with his dry humor, eclectic interest and vast musical knowledge. His voice does not appear on this CD, just tracks selected from the shows. It can be regarded as the best introduction to music ever. This is the only officially-authorized release and is compiled by the show's producer Eddie Gorodetsky and Ace's own Roger Armstrong. The tracklisting reflects Dylan's wide taste and ranges from Wanda Jackson and James Brown to Desmond Dekker and Rilo Kiley. 50 tracks. Ace.
