    S03.05 "Let Our Geniuses Fail" - Dylan In The Mid 80's w/Erin Callahan Mar 08, 2024
    Show notes

    Bob Dylan struggled in many ways in the mid 80's, no matter how you look at it. We talk about the perception and reality of that struggle, along with his triumphs, with Professor Erin Callahan.

    Erin often hosts The Dylantantes podcast, is co-author/co-editor of The Politics and Power of Bob Dylan’s Live Performances - a recent book looking at Dylan through the lens of his live setlists, and has another book coming - this one about Bob Dylan in the 1980s. She's a Professor of English at San Jacinto College in Houston, Texas.

    This is an extended version of this episode exclusively for FM+ Subscribers and FM Club Premium Members.

    S03.04 Yonder Comes Sin & Every Grain of Sand w/ Michael Gray Feb 10, 2024
    Show notes

    We continue our series with Michael Gray on Song & Dance Man, Vol. 2 with a discussion of two chapters on great songs from Bob's Born-Again Period. The first is Yonder Comes Sin, and outtake captured at a live show soundcheck, and unreleased until the Trouble No More Bootleg Series. The Second is the beloved Every Grain of Sand.

    This is an extended version of this episode exclusively for FM+ Subscribers and FM Club Premium Members.

    The nature of Michael’s work and writing is such that if time permitted I would discuss near every paragraph - it’s very tough to choose the quotes used in these episodes and narrow down the discussion. So for this episode even more than all the others, it’s highly recommended that you get the book and read the full chapters.

    S03.03 Dylan & The Dead - The Relationship w/ Harold Lepidus Feb 04, 2024
    Show notes

    Dylan & The Dead is much more than an album, it's a relationship. In this episode we talk to Dylan and Dead expert Harold Lepidus about all aspects of that history, the shows, the rehearsals, the inspiration, and the impact.

    This a part of our 'Five Worst Years' series looking at all sides of 1984-1988. Dylan first started spending time with The Dead in '87, rehearsing and then playing live shows - some of which resulted in the 1988 Dylan and The Dead album.

    S03.02 Empire Burlesque (Song-by-Song) with Jim Beviglia Jan 20, 2024
    Show notes

    Following 18 months after Infidels, nothing about the making of this record - the recording process, the sound, the songs, or even the cover art - suggested that Dylan was on solid footing. The times were a-changin' again.

    Yet the music did impress some: Rolling Stone asked: "Is Dylan “back”? Again? One is tempted to trumpet some such tidings. ...Empire Burlesque is nothing as straightforward as a simple return to rock & roll form for Dylan."

    In this episode we look at the first proper release in our focus years of 1984-1988, talking with music writer Jim Beviglia about Empire Burlesque and each of the songs it contains.

    ** The Extended Version of this Episode is 55 Minutes long and available to FM+ Subscribers **

    Jim writes about music for American Songwriter, Culture Sonar, and has written a series of books called Counting Down Their 100 Finest Songs with editions on Dylan, Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, and many others. A post on the website CountDown Kid led us to talk to Jim about this record.

    For more background on the recording history of this album, as discussed in the episode, check out wikipedia or get Clinton Heylin's book: Bob Dylan Recording Sessions.

    S03.01 Bob Dylan’s Five Worst Years 1984-1988 (An Introduction) Jan 14, 2024
    Show notes

    Bob Dylan has had an incredible career for over sixty years. But Dylan hit a bit of a rough patch in the 1980’s – especially the mid 80s. Or did he?

    This is the question we’re going to look at as we revisit the years 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988 – and everything that took place during those years – through this and a whole bunch of episodes ahead on Dylan.FM.

    In this introductory episode we set the stage, discussing how the 1980s sit within Dylan’s history and legacy, and looking at exactly what happened in these five years, and why we think they’re worthy of special attention.

    S02.20 Bob Books: The Politics and Power of Bob Dylan’s Live Performances w/Erin Callahan and Court Carney Dec 08, 2023
    Show notes

    Dylan fans have always focused on setlists, but this may be the first book to use them as a theme, around which a series of writers look at how the list of songs Bob chooses to sing in any given night or tour has evolved, the different roles certain songs have played over the years, and the larger story or message contained within a sequence of songs (intentionally or not).

    Another by-product of the pandemic, The Power and Politics of Bob Dylan’s Live Performances – Play a Song for Me, is anchored by chapters from co-editors Erin Callahan and Court Carney, who are joined by a baker’s dozen of other writers mostly professors, or academics or teachers or working in pursuit of advanced degrees.

    The result is a scholarly, thoughtful, interesting, well written and researched book, filled with essays that take a wide range of approaches to Dylan’s work and performance and live shows drill in and expand on different aspects of them.

    In this episode we spoke to Erin Callahan and Court Carney about all of it, both the overall concepts of the book and then briefly each of the chapter the book contains.

    You can order The Power and Politics of Bob Dylan’s Live Performances at Amazon.

    S02.19 The Street to Slow Train - Song & Dance Man Vol.2 Ch.1 with Michael Gray Nov 25, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode we talk with author Michael Gray about Chapter One of Volume 2 of Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan - Yonder Comes Sin, which was just released.

    Much of the discussion is about Street-Legal, and how that album revealed Dylan's evolving search for salvation - in a way that perhaps foreshadowed the gospel years much more clearly than anyone caught at the time.
