News This Week
Our favorite stories and links from the past two weeks.
Live Photos of 1984 Tour (Flagging Down) [10]
"Being the official tour photographer means you’re hired to shoot everything: backstage, live performance, travelling, capturing a real life reportage of the tour or sometimes just a bunch of gigs.
Dylan in Cincinnati: August 2012 (Shadow Chasing) [8
"Dylan’s vocals are raspy yet randy. This performance is seductive. The singer grinds with the stripper in the second verse: “Them charcoal gypsy maidens / Can strut their feathers well.” Dylan struts his way through this performance as if he’s a burlesque dancer himself."'
I Still Adore Bob Dylan. But Don't Tell Joan. (Flagging Down [8]
"It was still daylight, and when Bob entered the stage, took out his guitar and started the first song, the sun came out and shined on him."
The Beaten Path, Route 66 | 2024 (Castle Fine Art)
"The Beaten Path, Route 66 offers fleeting glimpses of downbeat motels and road signs – epochal scenery along the legendary ‘Route 66’."
2001: "Love and Theft" - Bob Dylan (Together Through Life)
"Every track on “Love and Theft” is deeply rooted, drawing musically from early R&B and blues songs (such as Johnny & Jack’s Uncle John’s Bongos) or pre-war Pop (Gene Austin’s The Lonesome Road and Snuggled on Your Shoulder (Cuddled in Your Arms) by Bing Crosby to name just two)."
Mike Porco the Innovator (Folk City ) [5]
"Bobby would end up doing a string of open mics at Gerdes well into March. By then, he had befriended Dave Van Ronk and his wife and part-time promoter, Terri Thal. Van Ronk and Thal had enough pull with Mike Porco to convince him to sign the kid up to eventually be an opening act at Folk City."
Don Was: Talkin’ Blue Note at 85 (Downbeat) [5]
"Oh, man, let me die in my footsteps, like the Bob Dylan song says. I want to do this until I die. And I don’t want to die."
Great Dylan Years: 1994 Pt.2 (Untold Dylan) [5]
"Bob Dylan loves and respects musical history. He also performed one of his favourite songs ‘ Tomorrow Night’ on the The Rhythm, Country & Blues Concert in Los Angeles on the 23rd March 1994."
Heaven's Door "Revelation" (Micky Finn's) [5]
"The Heaven's Door website describes the Nose as "Maple with milled grains and a light nuttiness. Dried berries, vanilla custard, and toasted oak." This is largely true, though I would argue that the smell of oak is overwhelmingly the dominate note here."
Dead & Company Debut Bob Dylan's "I'll Remember You" (Relix) [5]
"Light instrumentation served Weir’s cowboy-tinged vocals on the 1985 Empire Burlesque originator, Dylan’s creation with members of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers."
