Same band, same songs, only 5 songs were not played last year. No live debuts, no covers, no guests. Columbia/Sony continued the mining of Dylan’s 1960s catalogue with the release of a box containing the first seven albums in mono and the 9th installment in the Bootleg Series collecting the Leeds and Witmark demos from 1962, 1963 and 1964. Nothing new here. Fortunately a new concert tape from Brandeis University 1963 was discovered and added as bonus to the Mono recordings box and/or The Bootleg Series release. 2 2010 AT A GLANCE 3 THE 2010 CALENDAR 11 February Dylan participates in the event billed Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music From the Civil Rights Movement and performs The Times They Are A-Changin' with Patrick Warren on piano and Tony Garnier on bass. Dylan is introduced by President Barack Obama: “The man who was good enough to take time off from his never-ending tour, Mr. Bob Dylan”. 23 February Nearly 100 artworks including thirty large paintings from The Drawn Blank Series by Bob Dylan are the subject of an art exhibition which opens at the Halcyon Gallery, London, England. 28 February Dylan receives the National Medal of Art at a ceremony in The White House. Dylan did not attend. 11 March Dylan returns to Japan after nine years. The tour starts with five shows in Osaka. Excepting the last shown Seoul, South Korea, only three cities are played in Japan, Osaka, Nagoya (two shows) and Tokyo (seven shows). All shows in Japan were played in the Zepp Music Halls, owned by a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan. 15 March At the show in Osaka, after Like A Rolling Stone but before the band credits, Dylan is presented a guitar by a number of Japanese Bobcats. Dylan’s response was “I like that guitar really. I’m gonna keep it right here, by my side … just like all you nice people”. 31 March The tour ends with a show in The Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, South Korea. Everything’s Still The Same — Bob

  • Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This File Contains the Pre-Proof
    Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This file contains the pre-proof versions of Chapter One and Chapter Five from Bob Dylan, presented here in this format with the permission of Equinox Publishing. I have called this text Bob Dylan Musician because this was the original agreed title of the book right up to the moment just before publication when pressure from the US publisher resulted in the term ‘musician’ being reluctantly (from my perspective) expunged from the title. That word – musician – was there to concisely signal how my approach differs from most other books on Bob Dylan. I am interested in his work and practice as a musician, rather than his lyrics as poetry or the relationship between his biography and musical art. The book contains five chapters, so these two chapters introduce and conclude the study. If anyone would like electronic copies of additional chapters I am happy to provide these, as long as they are used only for research and teaching. Keith Negus June 2013 CHAPTER ONE Surroundings On 31 October 1964 Bob Dylan performed at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City, just two years after signing a recording contract and with four albums already released. Having quickly gained recognition as a folk ‘protest singer’ he was rapidly moving away from songs of social commentary and ‘finger pointing’. Dylan was beginning to use the popular song in a new and radical manner to explore more internal or subjective experiences, whilst experimenting with the sound, meaning and rhythm of words. Within three months, when recording his fifth album, no longer performing alone with acoustic guitar and harmonica, he was beginning to create an abrasive yet ethereal sonority, mixing the acoustic and electric textures of folk, electric blues, rock’n’roll, gospel, country and pop.

We trace the evolution of his songs and lyrics from their early folk, blues, rock, gospel, and protest roots, through the transition from acoustic to electric, in studio and performative contexts, and also through the many evolutions and reinventions that continue to characterize his career in music, literature, film, and painting. Coursework emphasizes the development of effective oral and written communication skills with a focus on description, summary, and critical thinking.1 • Course books: — Chronicles Bob Dylan, Chronicles: Volume One (New York, 2004). — Wilentz Sean Wilentz, Bob Dylan in America (New York, 2010). — Hacker Diana Hacker, A Writer’s Reference (Boston and New York, 7th edition, 2011).

  • “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie Mctell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader
    “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie McTell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader Blind Willie McTell Blind Willie McTell was born May 5, 1901 in Thomson, Georgia. Though there is some uncertainty about his birth year, his comparatively long life (he died on Aug. 19, 1959, in Milledgeville, Georgia), his prolific recording career, the memories of numerous acquaintances, and McTell’s own recorded reminiscences, allow for a full picture of his life. His skillful fingerpicking guitar style ranks high with the playing of other acoustic blues artists, both blind (Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Reverend Gary Davis) and sighted (Josh White, Brownie McGhee). Hard to categorize, McTell embodied Piedmont blues, as well as ragtime, and gospel/spiritual/religious music, and may best be described as a mid-twentieth century American songster. One of his tunes--“covered,” or more accurately freely adapted, in a powerful electric blues rendition by the Allman Brothers Band-- is his legacy. This number most familiar to modern blues and rock fans: “Statesboro Blues.” Recorded by McTell and self-accompanied on twelve- string guitar in 1928 for Victor records, it showcases his distinctive voice and his talented guitar playing. The Allman Brothers later credited their cover of the song to “Will McTell” on their live two-record album “At Filmore East” released in 1971 on Capricorn Records. Guitarists Duane Allman (using a slide) and Dickey Betts cut loose with their trademark twin lead guitar line up in a memorable reading as a jumping blues shuffle. In an analysis of the history of “Statesboro Blues,” however, it is important to note that between the McTell recording and the Allman Brothers, there is a version from 1968 by Taj Mahal on his debut album.

  • Freewheelin-On-Line Take Seven
    freewheelin-on-line take seven Freewheelin’ 205 September 2002 The French painter Pierre Bonnard (1867 – 1947) was shackled with an obsessive love for his wife. Consequently, she appears in a lot of his paintings – indeed if you look closely you can see her head, bathed in blue, in the bottom right hand corner of this cover which is taken from a painting by Bonnard. The purpose of the blue above her head is that it matches the blue of the sky and thus it places her close to heaven. The painting is however called ‘The Open Window’ so Pierre, being the jealous kind, wants to draw the viewer away from gloating at his wife towards what is going on outside his lounge in the South of France. Outside the window in my picture, I have Dylan, looking like a deranged gardener with a guitar, walking towards Bonnard’s wife with intent. Pierre won’t be too pleased about that but there is a joint obsession on display here: ours with Dylan and Bonnard’s with his wife. The difference is that our obsession cannot be as intense as Bonnard’s. Of course it can’t. Can it? But hold on a minute, Dylan isn’t looking at Pierre’s wife at all – he is looking straight at us. As Alfred Hitchcock might say: ‘It’s a take!’. 2 Freewheelin-on-line take seven (freewheelin’ 205) Page 4 Magnetic Movements by Chris Cooper 8 Fistful Of Tapes By The Two Riders 11 20 Pounds Of Headlines by Mark Carter The continuing chronicle of Bob Dylan in the Press 14 Wonder Boy by Richard Lewis 16 Hipsters, Flipsters & Finger Poppin’ Daddies by CP Lee 20 It Takes A Lot To Laugh by Mark Carter

  • The Recording Sessions
    Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions by Michael Krogsgaard, compiled from files available at http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/sessions.html 1 2 Some general information regarding the different sources made available for the study: 1. The Columbia Studios Recording Diaries are books, which for each day of the year (since 1941) list every planned session in the different studios. Information includes: time of the day, name of the studio, name of the producer and the engineers and the name of the artist. For the New York studios one diary is missing, that which covers the period January 1967 to December 1970. For the Nashville studios, the diary for the period 1969 to 1971 is missing. 2. Recording Sheets are lists made during each session and put into each tape box. The sheet records the date, the studio, the artist, which tracks were recorded and the CO number (Columbia's own reference number) for each composition (of which, more later). Each recorded take is marked as complete (C), with a short false start(b) or a long false start (B). It is indicated on these sheet which takes are removed to other tapes for further use. 3. The Tape Boxes themselves also usually contain information about each take and which takes are removed for further use. 4. CO Cards contain information about the CO (CO=Columbia) number and title for each composition and usually also the recording date. The CO numbers are basically a secure identification of each composition but they are not always chronological (for instance: the CO numbers for songs recorded in Nashville are generally higher than CO numbers for songs recorded at the same time in New York), and, confusingly, sometimes one composition has several CO numbers, especially (but not always) if it has been recorded several times at different sessions.
