Thanks for the info Alan. I can't imagine this to be of much interest to most of the forum members but I found the wikipedia article on her to be very interesting, as I was an avid Dylan fan ever since the early 60's.
I saw him at the Newport Folk Festivals early in his career and was there when he first appeared with his electric band.
Who would ever think he would include pedal steel in so many of his future recordings and live appearances?! |

I just watched that video for the first time, Joaquin, and all I can say is "Wow !"
I've been familiar with the song ever since it was issued in 1964, and can recite the verses by heart. I was a university student at the time and pining for my girlfriend back home.
The song doesn't age, and shows just how well Bob can put together compositions when the subject really matters to him.  |

Interesting to hear that "Another Side Of Bob Dylan" was released in Britain in 1964, the same year as in the USA. I don't know if it was released in Germany at that time. I got it a few years later, after I bought "John Wesley Harding".

I remember buying his very first album, which was just called "Bob Dylan", in 1961. At the time I was still at school. I was blown away with the album, and I took it to school and played it in the Senior 6th Common Room. People said he was the worst singer they had ever heard. Years later those same people were buying Dylan records and idolising him. As Hoyt Axton once said, "The Hit Parade is a fickle thing." Earl Scruggs said something similar at the time; "The rising popularity of folk music will sure sort out the wheat from the chaff; the chaff will get into the Top 20..."  |
