It might apply to the weight of your take on the blues, as with Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. It might mean the originality of Jethro Tull or King Crimson. It might equally apply to an individual- to Eric Clapton, for example, The Beatles are the saints of the 1960s, and George Harrison an especially "heavy person". This year, heavy people flock together. Clapton and Steve Winwood join up in Blind Faith. Steve Marriott and Pete Frampton meet in Humble Pie. Crosby, Stills and Nash admit a new member, Neil Young. Supergroups, or more informal supersessions, serve as musical summit meetings for those who are reluctant to have theirwork tied down by the now antiquated notion of the "group". Trouble of one kind or another this year awaits the leading examples of this classic formation. Our cover stars The Rolling Stones this year part company with founder member Brian Jones. The Beatles, too, are changing - how, John Lennon wonders, can the group hope to contain three contributing writers? The Beatles diversification has become problematic.

  • 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.

  • In Loving Memory of Bob Johnston: Some People Mentor You Directly, in Person
    in loving memory of bob johnston: some people mentor you directly, in person. other times, a person’s body of work mentors you, without their knowledge. for me, bob johnston was such a mentor. it’s impossible to listen to “blonde on blonde” and not learn something…be it about record production, or song writing, or musical arrangements. that record is a master class in creating a timeless work. the same is true of other johnston 1960’s productions…”highway 61”, “songs of love & hate”, “nashville skyline”, “john wesley harding”, “at folsom prison”, “songs from a room”…those records teach you that it’s about songs, and the people in the room playing them, end of story. there is an intimacy to all of those recordings that is staggering. nothing gets in the way between the song & the listener. it feels like the artists are playing those songs for you. that is because of bob Johnston. as a producer, you get paid to intervene…bob johnston had the good sense not to. bob trusted his musicans, and he trusted their songs. this was lesson number one in my mentorship. the unbelievable fact that most of the records we associate with him were made in 2 weeks or less was lesson number two. too much time could be just as much of a curse as too little, often worse in fact. the hallmark of a bob Johnston production is that you can almost hear the musicians listening to each other. that is a product of working quickly. It always felt like johnston took the producer’s version of the hippocratic oath, to do no harm.

    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.

  • The Cutting Edge: New York Singles Sessions, Oct - Nov 1965
    The Cutting Edge: New York Singles Sessions, Oct - Nov 1965 by Roger Ford Dylan’s first recording session following the release of “Highway 61 Revisited” was on October 5 1965, four days after his concert with The Hawks at Carnegie Hall. At this time ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ was finally on its way down the Billboard chart at No. 33, and ‘Positively 4th Street’ was just on its way up at No. 34, but Columbia may already have been keen for Dylan to have a follow-up single ready for late autumn release.1 In fact, three days of sessions were booked in the New York studio diary, on October 4, 5 and 6, but the first and last of these were cancelled, leaving just a six-hour double session on the 5th. It seems unlikely that the studio bookings were entirely Dylan’s idea, as he evidently had no new songs finished and ready to record. But now that he had his own road band, he may have been interested to hear how they would perform in the studio, and so went ahead with the recording date anyway, maybe thinking he’d make something up on the day.2 October 5, 1965 MEDICINE SUNDAY (CO 87183) Collectors have long been familiar with a version of this fragmentary song, which was on the so-called ‘Band session’ tape of half a dozen late 1965 and early 1966 recordings, first circulated around 1971. It turns out that this was Take 2, which in fact nearly made it onto “Biograph”, and later was one of the many ‘hidden’ tracks on 1995’s “Highway 61 Interactive” CD- ROM release.
