The Influence series pairs songs made famous, or at least recognized cover versions, by a renowned artist with their often lesser-known originals. Influence, Vol. 2: I Was Young When I Left Home takes a probing look at Bob Dylan's choices of cover material, much of which made up his early repertoire. The massive set reaches 50 tracks, with the first volume consisting of Dylan's takes on early folk-blues and ramblin' country tunes, while volume two houses the original versions by the likes of artists such as Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, Woody Guthrie, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and many others.
