4/29/2021: "Back to New York City": Cities Where Bob Dylan Recorded pt 12


Listen Later

We conclude our twelve-part series featuring the cities in which Dylan recorded his studio albums over the decades by ending where Dylan's professional career began: in New York City.

You will also hear some other songs either about or set in New York City.
