My latest Dylan bandmember interview: Winston Watson! I go deep with Bob's wild-haired '90s drummer about his four years in the Never Ending Tour band. dylanlive.substack.com/p/win…

Twenty years ago today, Bob Dylan returned to the Newport Folk Festival - and played the whole set wearing a fake beard and a wig. One of my best road trips. I wrote about it for @rayfp's Flaggin' Down the Double Es this morning: dylanlive.substack.com/p/bob…

Twenty-Five Years ago, in July 1997, in the online forum 'DylanChat' the rumor of a new album began to spread. Read the story of Time Out Of Mind when fans thought it was to be called 'Stormy Season'. Researched and written for #TOOM25 by @bob_notes. buff.ly/3QSTcTn

Was a joy to speak with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch all about the Dylan/Petty tours of 86-87. He's funny as hell, but has a lot of wisdom too. dylanlive.substack.com/p/hea…

Happy birthday to the luminary Harry Smith (1923-1991), born 99 years ago #OTD in Portland, Oregon. His genius is most often accredited to the landmark Anthology of American Folk Music, released by Folkways in 1952. 📸 by John Palmer, ca. 1970, Courtesy of @HS_Archives

While in Tulsa, I sat down with @bobdylancenter archivist and co-curator Parker Fishel to get the scoop on what live recordings they have in the vaults. Some fans have salivated over for decades. Some we never even knew existed. Here's the interview: dylanlive.substack.com/p/an-…

At last, my (lengthy!) thoughts on Bob Dylan's Rough and Rowdy Ways show in Tulsa on April 13--in which I reflect on what it means to see and hear so mighty a ghost. dylan.utulsa.edu/rough-and-r…

A great performance of a traditional song (Roud 2208) that is not very widely spread. The earliest recorded version was collected by English folk song collector Cecil Sharp in North Carolina in 1916. Dylan may have learned it from Jean Ritchie. youtube.com/watch?v=tmmq-zN_…
