This is getting progressively more difficult, though it’s amazing how much good stuff you can dig up with roots to the bygone era in which I grew up, musically speaking (if nothing else).
If you have a smartphone, such as an Iphone, I highly recommend that you download Pandora, a free music delivery program. You can pick an artist, say Bob Dylan, and it will create a channel featuring Bob Dylan and other people who are like Bob Dylan, in some way shape or form. Given Dylan’s permutations, it’s hard to see who wouldn’t get swept in, and indeed, the selections have been pretty eclectic. That’s how I came up with tonight’s choice, both as to artist and song. Unfortunately, this is the best version I could find on youtube. The audio is not great, and it’s a bit out of sync, but what can you do?
And as a bonus, here’s Norah Jones and company doing the same song. The fellow to her right is Richard Julian, who has released at least two albums on his own, and, now that I’m reminded, I must put on my list to feature one of these weeks.
