Bon Iver mastermind <a href="/tags/justin-vernon">Justin Vernon</a> delivered a fifteen-song Bob Dylan covers set at Eaux Claires under the wonderfully efficient name ‘Bon Dylan’. Joined by musicians including Phil Cook, Monica Martin and S. Carey, Vernon concentrated heavily on Dylan’s 1960s catalogue while revisiting songs he has interpreted at earlier performances.
The concept could easily have become a reverent tribute in which everyone behaved as though entering a historical library. Instead, the set allowed Dylan’s material to pass through Vernon’s own fragile, atmospheric musical language. Familiar songs became communal and slightly unfamiliar again, reinforcing Eaux Claires’ reputation for unique programming.
