Bob Dylan in the 80s: Volume One

Bob Dylan in the 1980s: Volume One, released by ATO Records, was produced by Jesse Lauter (Elvis Perkins, The Low Anthem) and Sean O’Brien (Dawes, PAPA). Bob Dylan In The 1980s: Volume One contains a large cache of Bob Dylan songs that have long gone ignored, covering the period starting with 1980’s Saved and ending with 1990’s Under the Red Sky (including unreleased material — the “80s Basement Tapes” — and the Traveling Wilburys). Contributors include: Built To Spill, Gene Ween of Ween & Slash, Glen Hansard, Reggie Watts, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Lucius_(band), Langhorne Slim, Craig Finn Of The Hold Steady, Deer Tick, Dawn Landes, Josh Kaufman, Blitzen Trapper, Carl Broemel Of My Morning Jacket, Elvis Perkins and more.

Pencils of Promise
Portions of proceeds from album sales will go to the charity, Pencils of Promise. Pencils of Promise is a non-profit organization that builds schools and increases educational opportunities in the developing world. The charity has built more than 150 schools in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Critical reception
The Wall Street Journal said Bob Dylan in the 80s: Volume One was an assembly of likable Dylan songs from his 1980s albums. On the other hand, The New Yorker felt the collection was missing a clear order and was more than a decade's worth of songs, as it included selections from 1990's Under the Red Sky.
