Underrated folk artist. Great lyrics. He did a whole album of Springsteen covers that goes surprisingly hard, and he covered Chelsea Hotel before it was cool.
Table Cloth, Nothing To Say, Falling In Love With Your Best Friend, the list goes on.

A whole album of Springsteen covers that puts the emphasis on the poetry and melody of his werk. I could only do Nebraska before but this opened by ears, mind, and heart to The Boss. Only available on YouTube, they will never get those permissions but dear lord, this is a no skips work of art. Tougher Than the Rest is my song but everything is so beautifu.

incredible classic folk music. i am a huge fan of live recordings and the songs that are prove to be no exception. dylan comes in for - one of my favourite renditions of - It Ain't Me Babe and of course the crowd looses their shit, which is very funny. i love this album. saying that is a bit redundant because i wouldn't be blogging if i didn't, but it bears repeating. I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!
i hope you are well, friend.

I love “Desolation Row,” and I’m always happy when Bob passes the ten minute mark. we got:
“Key West (Philosopher Pirate)” — a dreamy meditation on life and finding meaning in the margins on the world
“Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands”— the world’s prettiest haunted love song
“Brownsville Girl” — in running for funniest song ever. a guy describing a movie he can’t quite remember, and a road trip with a lost love, while the stories bleed together like repeating dreams. made complete by Kanye-style blasts of gospel choir.
“Highlands” — a guy wanders around and flirts/argues with a diner waitress? ok idk this one is for the heads.
And of course “Murder Most Foul” —
17 minutes of Fiona Apple piano and Bob narrating the moment of JFK’s demise, a nation betrayed and sentenced to pay, its cultural history collapsing in on itself at the start of a new age.

What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.

I swear to god this shit is too powerful. It doesn’t always work out the way I hoped but the win/loss ratio is definitely in my favour. We are social creatures. We like helping each other. Just do it. Ask me for something if you want. Who knows what I’ll say.
