We are proud to announce that the June 2021 issue of Uncut – in UK shops from April 15 – comes with one of the best free, covermounted CDs we’ve ever given away. To celebrate Bob Dylan's 80th birthday, 14 esteemed artists – including The Flaming Lips, Low, Richard Thompson, Courtney Marie Andrews, Cowboy Junkies and The Weather Station – have recorded brand new versions of classic Dylan songs exclusively for us. What's more, the CD also features a previously unreleased Dylan track! To reiterate – because we're still amazed about this ourselves – all these covers were recorded specifically for Uncut's free CD and are currently unavailable anywhere else.
