Todd Haynes' Bob Dylan biopic, I'm Not There, finds his Bobness played by six different actors. Five times that number of artists tackle his oeuvre on this 34-song LP, including Wilco's Jeff Tweedy (''Simple Twist of Fate'') and Antony and the Johnsons (''Knockin' on Heaven's Door''). The pleasures to be gleaned are straightforward, with most musicians offering rarely radical but frequently great covers. And both Dylan himself and Sonic Youth perform the title track — though not, alas, together. DOWNLOAD THIS: Hear Cat Power's ''Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again'' This review is from Senior editor Clark Collins of Entertainment Weekly. So far, I have heard the Cat Powers and Jeff Tweedy's covers and I love them. I can't wait to get this double CD and see this Film. Yes, that is Cate as Bob.
