Song Title Artist Album

(I told Josephine that I recently heard the rare Bruce Springsteen recording of the following song, which he wrote for Dave Edmunds. She didn’t believe me at first, but we later found that it was recorded in 1979 and released on the Essential Springsteen 3 CD compilation set. Here is the version that Edmunds made a hit in 1982…)

1000 Years Shaking Tree Familiar

A Hundred Lovers Timbuk 3 A Hundred Lovers

Love Is The Seventh Wave The Duhks The Duhks

(…Nice new stuff from Kansas-based Shaking Tree and California-based, Grammy-winning Nickel Creek. The Winnepeg-based Duhks, pronounced “ducks,” cover that Sting tune on their recent debut release, produced by Bela Fleck.) (Christine Kane is a Virginia native now based in Asheville, NC. This next song appears on a brand new Putamayo compilation, and is also on Christine’s Rain & Mud & Wild & Green collection. Richard Shindell provides backup vocals…)

Trouble Iris Dement The Way I Should

Highway 61 Revisited Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited

(…That wonderful duet by Iris Dement and Delbert McClinton seemed to cry out for the “police car” sound from the Dylan song Highway 61 Revisited. Dylan is credited with playing the “police car” on the album notes. We also marveled at Dylan’s cryptic liner notes from this 1965 vinyl classic. Read the notes at http://bobdylan.com/linernotes/highway.html ) (Look at the time. It’s getting late…)

(I talked about a memory I have of seeing an unknown (to me) R.E.M. for the first time, opening for another act in 1983 at the old Fountain Casino in Aberdeen, NJ. My recollection was that R.E.M. opened for The English Beat, but the various on-line sources I’ve checked since Friday night seem to point to The Replacements as the headline band. Whatever. It was cool…)
