Bob Dylan's Latest

I'm a few times through and can strongly recommend; won't say it reaches classic status but that expectation would be impossible given Dylan's body of work. Still its its another fine production, and this lead track is just great. Feel like I'm being hypnotized by the piano set to Bob's voice, kind of like he's reading a bedtime story. Also, absolutely LOVE the drums in this - the fills at the end of each verse are wicked.

Also check out this month's Rolling Stone for a great interview as well.

May 8, 1977 - Grateful Dead at Barton Hall, Cornell, New York

Today is the 32nd anniversary of what heads around the world recognize as the greatest show they Grateful Dead ever played. This bootleg is widely available online, and any music fan would do well to spend time listening to this entire show. A mind-blowing performance with an energy and power too impossible to describe.
