Better Days 186
Dylan Under Cover

This coming Thursday, October 6th, Better Days will
devote itself to covers of Bob Dylan songs.

With both MOJO and UNCUT magazines including a cd
of Dylan song renditions with recent issues, my own
collection of Dylan-cover curios overflowing, and it
being 40 years since Highway 61 Revisited was first
released, I simply couldn't resist the idea.

A few of the things you'll hear are...

Desolation Row, a unique approach by Songdog
I Want You, transformed by horse whisperer, Mike Beck
Fourth Time Around by saxophonist Michael Moore
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues by Jim Byrnes
To Ramona, rarely-heard older version from Alan Price
Sweetheart Like You by folk-bluesman Guy Davis
With God On Our Side, powerfully done by Buddy Miller

That's just a taste of what lies in store this Thursday,
October 6th, from 10:00 pm to 12:00 am Pacific (GMT -8)
on Better Days, heard around the corner at 102.7 FM and
around the world by webcast at www.coopradio.org

I look forward to having you join me!

DL
