Bob Dylan

The theme of this week’s show comes from what I’m calling my “Baby Boomer Spring Break” trip.Last week, I drove down to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spent a couple of days at the Bob Dylan Center and the Woody Guthrie Center. They had so many great artifacts and little documentaries. It is truly amazing to see the breadth of work that man created, especially when you look at the ‘63 to ‘68 era.The rest of my time was spent driving parts of Route 66, hunting for roadside attractions, and listening to Jack Kerouac. (Jack Kerouac definitely stopped at Buc-ee’s, right?)Anyway, one of the things they brought up at the Bob Dylan Center was just how many people covered Dylan’s songs, especially in those early days. It almost reached a point where he was getting upset that other people were having hits with his songs and he wasn’t. (The Byrds had most of their hits with Dylan songs)So, that brings us to this week’s theme: the entire show is going to be dedicated to Bob Dylan covers.HERE’S WHAT WE PLAYEDDon’t Think Twice It’s Alright Waylon JenningsRainy Day Women #12 & #35 Flatt & ScruggsWanted Man George Thorogood & The DestroyersYou Ain’t Going Nowhere Nitty Gritty Dirt BandIf Not For You Glen CampbellTangled up in Blue The Charlie Daniels BandWhen I Paint My Masterpiece Emmylou HarrisWalkin’ Down The Line Ricky NelsonTonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You Tina TurnerThe Man in Me Lonnie MackMaggie’s Farm Lester FlattIt’s All Over Now, Baby Blue The Country GentlemenShe Belongs To Me Ricky Nelson and The Stone Canyon BandOne Too Many Mornings The HighwaymenIt Ain’t Me Babe Johnny CashREMINDER that next week is Vinylthon at WVMO and Classic Country Corner moves two hours ahead to 6am- 8am.
