I know there are many Dylan fans here: I've discovered an AMAZING album of Dylan covers by bluegrass specialist Tim O'Brien.

Unbelievably good! The arrangements are varied throughout the album, with amazing Subterranean Homesick Blues, Father of Night, Masters of War... but here's a poignant "Senor" as a sample, enjoy:
