Agreed. But what does this have to do with Dylan?
BTW I was too hung up on blues singers like Lightning Hopkins and Reverend Gary Davis to pay much attention to Dylan hack in the folk era, but in retrospect, I've come to appreciate just how great a poet he is. I think his output will come to be regarded as a great body of American literature.
The 60s certainly would not have been the same without him. |

Thanks,b0b!I always enjoy finding out how"the other half"lives...I read Dylan's new book recently and came to the conclusion he is about half hillbilly anyway...

Bobby,
Great topic. And an admirable playlist. He truly listens to a wide range of music, and knows people I've never even heard of. Any way to get all of these cuts quickly? Or do you have to trace them down individually?
Steve,
I've been to Dylan's hometown. Anybody from there has to be ALL hillbilly.

"Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes." Cool.
The only thing this list is missing is some Dylan. |

Didn't Dylan, later on, on a double "white album", record a bunch of other contemporary peoples' tunes? I think he did Paul Simon's,
"The Boxer", and Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town", among others. |

Looks like Dylan was a Stanley Brothers fan. Overall he has great taste in music and like many of us he enjoys listening to the stuff that was popular in his youth when he was learning to play and sing - well, maybe play!

He listens to Toots Thielsman. Yup, you can hear the influence in his harmonica playing

There's more than a few '--- brothers' and '--- sisters' performer talent among these selections; he's partial to gospel stylings,IMO. Also two versions of 'Mansion on the Hill'..one of a great many tunes tailor-made for a steel break or two --plus two versions of Loretta Lynn's "...Honky Tonk Girl". Quite an anthology of anecdotes!
..wonder what Garth Brook's iPod dump would look like. [This message was edited by Jon Zimmerman on 06 December 2005 at 07:34 PM.] [This message was edited by Jon Zimmerman on 06 December 2005 at 07:37 PM.] |

b0bby:
How is it known that the list is legit?
I'd like to think it is. I wish the 20 or so tunes beginning around 80 were properly attributed. Mebbe Bob is digging Perry Como on Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes, rather than Slim Willet. Probably a more diverse list if it was Como.
Looks like Louis Jordan is top eliminator. Virtually nothing after 1960 and most of it before Dylan began shaving. |

Great thread. And speaking of a wide range of great music, search Mike Perlowin at amazon.com. I've been looking for non-traditional steel since getting the new CD by Bobbe (Mr. Bashful in Nashville).
Bobby, how'd you get the list?
Steve, Hibbing is a great place to be from, but not to. Also, I know this is a longshot, but do you know a Tommy Hinson from Nashville who is about 55?
Chip, he did a double album of mostly covers in about 72 that ain't too swift, and he says in his book that he was intentionally putting out stuff that would get him out from under the label of poet and hero and genius etc.
Howard, that cracked me up. The closest Bob ever came to Toots is toots.
Jon, if you're into gospel, you might look up Nichole C. Mullen. She's a bit too contemporary Christian and hip hop for me, but even if you don't like listening to her you'll love looking at her.
And Garth's ipod dump would look like..., well, a dump. Smell like one, too.

My daughter emailed it to me. I can't vouch for its authenticity. It apparently belongs to someone named "Dylan". That's all I really know about it. It's a pretty good song list, though.

While I can appreciate that someone cared to share the info (and it really DOES look like Bob's musical taste- possibly filtered through R. Crumb?(  - you have to wonder about the kind of people who would go out and dig that info up and put it up on the web for the whole world to stare at, to begin with.
I mean, NO WONDER the guy is a maniac for his privacy!
Still, it IS interesting to see what he listens to... so thanks, bOb (and Bob)! |

| I must admit, the mind reels at the thought of what would be on Crumb's ipod! (Of course the tougher part is imagning him with an ipod in the first place. I suspect his version of the pod would be some wacko type of portable gramophone...) |
