The Persuasions is already known for its a cappella tributes to the Grateful Dead, the Beatles and even Frank Zappa. Now, with Knockin’ on Bob’s Door, the soulful group uses its smooth, five-part harmonies to rework the words of the Tambourine Man, Bob Dylan. The ever-popular Dylan and The Band collaboration, “The Mighty Quinn,” is a particular highlight, as the group’s members use their voices to re-create the sound of a brass band. Staples like “All Along the Watchtower” and “Like a Rolling Stone” are also reworked into vocal-only rockers. While the melodies of Dylan’s songs are beautiful and his harmonica skills are unmatched, he was admired most for was his lyrical genius – and a capella singing is a fantastic way to showcase that.
