Hard Rain & Slow Trains: Bob Dylan & Fellow Travelers

12/16/2021: Last Ones Standing pt 6: Mavis Staples


Listen Later

The sixth episode featuring fellow travelers who first recorded in the 1950s and who are still with us (the previous ones are from 7/15/2021, 6/3/2021, 9/3/2020, 5/14/2020, and 5/7/2020). This episode features Mavis Staples, surveying her music both with The Staple Singers and as a solo singer, as well as her relationship with Bob Dylan. After the newsworthy month of November with Dylan's Fall tour, news is slow in the world of Bob Dylan, so "20 Pounds of Headlines" gives way this week to even more music. In "Who Did It Better?" we announce the winner of last week's poll and, for the third time this year (and second consecutive week) we revisit "Gotta Serve Somebody," asking you to tell who did it better, Mavis Staples or (another last one standing) Shirley Caesar?
