I became familiar with the work of Charlie Musselwhite beginning with his most recent album, Delta Hardware; an album that would go on to win Album of the Year at the 2007 Blues Music Awards. That leaves nowhere to go but backwards, and the next couple Musselwhite records I bought have been of the […]

I spent a little more time reading the Dylan bio. We started Return of the King — and have subsequently finished it — so I read to the soundtrack to that. Those LOTR soundtracks are great reading music. Words distract me when I’m trying to read, so I often find instrumental […]

I might as well change the name of the site to The Dylan Chronicles, or something like that.
It turns out most of the cool stuff Bob Dylan ever did was in the month of May. He was born in May, and he released two of his greatest albums in May.
We’ve already talked about the […]

I bought the first volume of Bob Dylan’s biography when it was released nearly three years ago, and never got around to reading it. I let my collection of books get stacked up on me, and I am slowly working my way through them. With the Dylan milestones of late — his 66th […]

TheWifeToWhomI’mMarried and I are on another of our famous “Movie Marathons.” To the surprise of no one who knows us, we’ve chosen the Lord of the Rings trilogy — the extended editions. We’re on the first disc of The Two Towers. This is just one of those things we like to do […]

We’ve all got those time and place songs. I’ve written about several of mine on this site, and that doesn’t even scratch the surface. When I decided to start collecting a few of the Beatle solo records, I knew that George Harrison’s 1979 self-titled album was going to have to be one […]

I wonder if there is a law anywhere that says a person cannot simply listen to “The Apartment Song” without going back and listening to all of Full Moon Fever, beginning with “Free Fallin’” all the way through “Zombie Zoo.” If there isn’t, there should be.
Seriously, how can you listen to that and not […]

The last day of work before a 3-day weekend and the song I woke up with in my head was “The Apartment Song” by Tom Petty from the Full Moon Fever album.
I don’t know what that means other than Tom Petty makes some great weekend listening. 8 hours to go…

The Shakespeare of our times turns 66 years old today. Robert Zimmerman, more famously known as Bob Dylan, was born May 24, 1941. Dylan is an icon and as such there aren’t a lot of original things to say about the man. He’s been analyzed, interviewed, dissected, hailed, cheered, jeered, and all […]

A group of us have been discussing the great breakup albums of all time for a piece for The Mondo Project. I’ll link to it when it goes live so you can see all the choices. Mine was Sea Change by Beck, and that is what I’m listening to now.
Fabulous record. It […]
