  • Scobie on I'm Not There
    I’M NOT THERE (1956-2007) Stephen Scobie Je est un autre—Arthur Rimbaud I’m Not There (2007) In this autumn season of 2007, I can see that I am going to be thinking a lot about the Bob Dylan song known as “I’m Not There (1956).” At least, that is the title given to it on most of its early, bootleg appearances. Now that it has finally been officially released, the sub-title date has been dropped—which is a pity (since it added an element of mystery to the song) but also understandable (since no good explanation of the date has ever been given). “I’m Not There” is perhaps the ultimate Dylan bootleg, and has always been a subject for cult idealization as the most obscure of Dylan’s “lost” songs: a major master- piece that almost no one knows, and which indeed seems to conspire actively against being known. Now, it has become the title of Todd Haynes’s movie I’m Not There, “inspired by the music and many lives of Bob Dylan”—“many” being the operative word. The film is already famous for casting six different actors to play aspects of Dylan at different points in his career. If this strategy is a gimmick, it is a successful one: the film is generating vast amounts of advance publicity, much of it based on the photographs of Cate Blanchett looking, uncannily and androgynously, like 1966 Bob. The film is not due for North American release until late November, though it has played in prestigious festivals like Toronto, New York, and Venice.

  • Colin Linden – Blow Biography
    Colin Linden – bLOW Biography “Got a coin in my pocket heavy and gold/It don’t own me I need to let it go/Cause having is wanting/Desire can make you weep” – “bLOW” Colin Linden’s tale is the stuff of legend, the kind told in the Coen brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou or Inside Llewyn Davis, both of which featured his guitar playing on the soundtracks. That film would begin with an 11-year-old meeting his musical idol Howlin’ Wolf at a matinee show in his native Toronto, accompanied by his mom, who took a picture of the two during a nearly two-hour long conversation before the gig, the legendary bluesman idling over coffee and cigarettes. “I’m an old man now, and I won’t be around much longer,” Wolf told him. “It’s up to you to carry it on.” Linden still carries that frayed photograph in his wallet, along with a Sears 5/8” socket wrench in his pocket to play slide guitar. He has taken Wolf’s plea seriously, performing since he was 12 years old, leaving home as a teenager to travel the south at the invitation of Mississippi Sheiks delta blues guitarist Sam Chatmon which took him to Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Memphis and Hollandale, Mississippi, meeting and visiting the sites of his heroes – Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Sippie Wallace, Tampa Red, Blind John Davis, the Rev. Robert Wilkins, Sleepy John Estes and Son House, visiting the landmarks and juke joints, many of which he’s played in during the course of a 45-year career producing and playing blues and roots music.

  • Eric Garth Hudson Years: August 2, 1937- Present Residence
    6. Name: Eric Garth Hudson Years: August 2, 1937- Present Residence: West Saugerties, New York near Woodstock Brief Biography: Born in Windsor, Ontario, Hudson was the son of musicians. He attended University of Western Ontario for music. As a child he played organ during services at St. Luke’s Anglican Church. He found a niche when he joined a rock and roll group, the Capers, from 1958 through 1961. From 1961 till 1963 he became the music consultant, organist, and saxophonist for Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks. Hawkins split from the group in ’63. In 1966 the Hawks were introduced to Bob Dylan and accompanied him on a tour. At the conclusion of the long tour the band bought and lived in a pink house in West Saugerties, New York near Woodstock. By 1968 the Hawks became known as The Band and released their debuted album Music From Big Pink. Up until 1976, the Band toured and recorded around the world. This final concert was recorded in Martin Scorsese’s film, “The Last Waltz.” After the split, Hudson collaborated with many musicians to make albums as well as directors on soundtracks such as “The Right Stuff” and Martin Scorsese’s films “Raging Bull”. The Band often reunited in the 80s and 90s. In 1991, he moved back to Woodstock and recorded three more albums with the Band. In 2001 he released his first solo album. Major Achievements: Garth was inducted into the JUNO Hall of Fame (The Band), 1989, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (The Band), 1994, Hamilton Dofasco Lifetime of Achievement Award (The Band), 2007, and Grammy Lifetime of Achievement Award (The Band), 2008.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.

Using bootleg recordings of Bob Dylan as a starting point, he dissected the American subconscious in Invisible Republic : Bob Dylan's Basement Tapespublished in From the balladeer who first presented himself not as the son of a respectable middle-class Jewish family from northern Minnesota but as a vagabond runaway who had no idea if his parents were dead or alive, to the dandy who when controversy over his turn to the pop arena erupted declared that his investment in folk music had been a con from the start, he was, it was sometimes said, a different person every time you saw him.

  • 7. Name: Mark Lavon “Levon” Helm Years: May 26, 1940
    7. Name: Mark Lavon “Levon” Helm Years: May 26, 1940 - Present Residence: Woodstock, New York Brief Biography: Helm grew up in Turkey Scratch, a hamlet west of Helena, Arkansas. He was encouraged by his parents to be musical. When he was six, he saw Bill Monroe & his Blue Grass Boys, which ignited the lifelong goal of following a musical career path. He learned to play guitar at age nine and drums at seventeen. Helm met Ronnie Hawkins in 1957 who then asked him to go on tour through Canada in his band. Helm took the opportunity promising his parents he would return to finish high school. Helm’s band sold 750,000 records with hits such as, "Forty Days" and "Mary Lou," as well as appearing on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. The band became tired of Hawkins’s strict control and went on their own to create "Levon and the Hawks" in which Helm sang and drummed. This band was approached by Bob Dylan in 1965 to go on tour with him and help him make his sound more electric. The fans didn’t like this and booed the band. After the tour Levon Helm took a short trip to Arkansas before rejoining the band in Woodstock, New York. They stayed in a large pink house to work on their music, culminating in a new album call Music from Big Pink as well as a new name for themselves called “The Band.” Helm married his wife Sandra Dodd in Woodstock after a seven year courtship. In 1975, he had built a studio in a barn near his permanent residence.
