    'Echo in the Canyon' contains candid conversations and performances hosted by Jakob Dylan, the film explores the California, Laurel Canyon music scene. A documentary and music you should spend some time with. I picked some of my favorites (duets with Jakob Dylan) from the soundtrack. I hope this sparks interest to do some musical digging. Thanks for listening and please subscribe.

    This week featuring charting music from 1978 and I always throw in "Mr. Dana

    Picks". (music I like and I'm currently listening too and will feature at this drive-in.) This week Alabama Shakes are in my ears with a new album coming soon! They will be appearing in our region this September in Cleveland and I forget to mention Pittsburgh the next evening. Here are the links and thanks for listening.

    "Bob Dylan might be the best songwriter of all time, however, he seemingly doesn’t let this title lift his ego to a detrimental altitude. Dylan knows where and when to pay credit, and on the contrary, he also knows when to give someone the business. Regarding the prior comment, there is seemingly no other artist Dylan has praised more than Paul McCartney"... This caught my eye/ear and sent me back listening to Paul McCartney & Bob Dylan tunes through the ages.

    I included some links and a video.   Enjoy! www.mrdanastuff.com www.reynoldsdrivein.net

About Mr. Dana Presents

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to the Rumpus Room. I’m Mr. Dana, a retired radio guy with over 40 years of broadcasting experience. Now that I’m off the clock, Mr. Dana Presents: Rumpus Room Radio is simply my way of sharing a lifelong music hobby straight from my home to yours. This isn't an "oldies show”, it’s a straightforward music program for hip seniors who enjoy hearing familiar tunes presented with a little thought behind them.For me, this show is a personal musical diary. I keep the production simple, old-school, and entirely focused on the tracks themselves. I try to put a lot of care into how the songs transition from one to the next, building music blocks that just make sense together. Between the records, I'll share some brief histories, chart positions, and fun facts about the artists.Our core focus covers the music we grew up with from 1950 to 1999, but I also include a Release Radar segment to feature newer music that fits the vibe.You can catch two different sessions every week:
