Hard Rain & Slow Trains: Bob Dylan & Fellow Travelers

5/20/2021: "The Days of Our Years Be Fourscore Years": Bob Dylan's 80th Birthday with Michael Gray!


Listen Later

It's our annual Bob Dylan birthday episode and this year Dylan is 80, so we have brought along critic and author Michael Gray to mark the occasion. Gray is one of the most important literary critics to write about Dylan and has produced the landmark volumes SONG AND DANCE MAN: THE ART OF BOB DYLAN and THE BOB DYLAN ENCYCLOPEDIA, as well as books on Blind Willie McTell, Elvis Presley, and Frank Zappa. Gray has a new book of essays on Dylan out called OUTTAKES ON BOB DYLAN: SELECTED WRITINGS 1967-2021 available from Route-Online.com. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan and in "Who Did It Better?" we ask you who did "Moonshiner" better: Roscoe Holcomb or Bob Dylan. There are so many versions of "Moonshiner" that this will be the first week that we do a "Who Did It Better?" tournament that will extend the next two weeks.
