Micheal Gray wrote the first serious critical book on Bob Dylan's work in 1972's Song and Dance Man, and for the 50 years since has remained one of the most respected and important voices even in the very large world that joined him in that effort.
He's expanded Song and Dance Man twice, wrote The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, and his latest work is Outtakes on Bob Dylan - a collection of writing from 1967 to 2021. He's also the author of books on Frank Zappa and Blind Willie McTell, and has written for RollingStone, The Guardian, Melody Maker and many more. The University of York conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Letters in English and Related Literature.
There is an Extended Version of this episode, and a video available. Details below.
Today Micheal revisits and updates his thoughts on Time Out Of Mind, first expressed in Dylan fanzines and then Song And Dance Man III. He demonstrates his nuanced approach to evaluating and illuminating Dylan's work, and criticizing it when he feels it appropriate.

Robyn Hitchcock is a broadly respected singer-songwriter with a lifetime of connections to Bob Dylan. He saw Bob Dylan perform at the Isle of Wight as a teenager in 1969, became the kind of songwriter that could only exist in the world after Dylan, and has regularly performed and recorded Dylan songs - for decades now.
We asked Robyn to join us as part of our series of discussions with songwriters and performers on Time Out Of Mind, to get his insights on Dylan in the years before TOOM, his first reactions to the album, his thoughts on the production and songwriting, and much more. We heard from a thoughtful man who's deeply considered Dylan and his work - and was kind enough to share those thoughts with us.
Robyn's latest album is called Shufflemania, released by Tiny Ghost Records, is being released on Oct 21, 2022. (Links below)

Wesley Stace was probably first known to Dylan fans by his stage name, John Wesley Harding - when he delivered great songs and albums from the late 80's through the turn of the century - including 'It Happened One Night', 'Here Comes The Groom', 'Awake' and others. This century he's continued to put out fine records and tour under his given name - including the recently released 'Late Style'.
Wes has played a lot of Dylan covers, been to a lot of Dylan shows, and is quite the knowledgable fan -- as you'll hear in this episode. Wes shares his thoughts on Dylan in the 80's and early 90's, his initial reactions to hearing Time Out Of Mind, and his even greater love for Love and Theft.
