BOB DYLAN
Highway 61 Revisited
COLUMBIA, 1965
Wow, how cool is that cover? The motorcycle T-shirt, the guy with the camera and the striped shirt standing behind him, it’s like something William Eggleston would have taken. It’s such a cohesive album – I’m guessing that it was recorded with the same people in a discrete amount of time. The arrangements are so natural and you feel like you’re in the room with the musicians. In particular, I want to call out the song “It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry”. I love that song, and people don’t talk about it enough. It just speaks to me in a uniquely wonderful way. I love the melody and I’m always singing my own harmony. Maybe I should cover it with Matthew Sweet and do my harmony?

March 2, 2019: Manchester Evening News: Viewers react as Sir Tom Jones sends his friend Lonnie Donegan's son home on The Voice

Oct 4, 2011: Goldmine: Gallagher reissues give taste of blues and rock with metal
Gallagher’s only Top 10 album in the U.K., “Live In Europe,” has too many highlights to list. But we must spare a thought for “I Could Have Had Religion,” a song that Gallagher based around four anonymously-written lines he found in a book of Irish poetry. He wrote the tune and further words, but still co-credited the song to the ubiquitous Trad Arr. So, when Bob Dylan rang him up one day, wanting to cover the song himself and hoping for further light on its origins, he was staggered to discover just how “un-trad” it really was. His own next album was intended to be an all folk covers affair, spotlighting his own rearrangement abilities.

Mar 19, 2012: CNN: 50 years ago today: Bob Dylan released his debut album
When Bob Dylan’s self-titled debut LP hit shelves on March 19, 1962, it didn’t sound anything like the popular music of the time.
It was the height of “The Twist” dance craze, and 11 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart had the word “twist” in the title, including “Dear Lady Twist” by Gary U.S. Bonds, “Twistin’ The Night Away” by Sam Cooke, “Hey, Let’s Twist” by Joey Dee and the Starlighters,” “Twistin’ Postman” by the Marvelettes and “Alvin Twist” by the Chipmunks. (A new California group called the Beach Boys reached a new high of Number 77 that week with their first single, “Surfin.’”)
