In the last radio episode of the year, Laura and Robert sink their teeth into the latest cloak-and-dagger Dylan release, the 50th Anniversary Collection with all previously unreleased recordings from the year 1970. We’re particularly putting our focus on the session from the 1 May where Dylan was joined in the studio by George Harrison. We discuss the impact of Harrison’s presence on Dylan’s performance, as well as what these recordings can tell us about Dylan’s creative process in the studio, and we wonder whether a particular harmonica solo in this session already foreshadowed a song released years later on Blood On The Tracks.
If you have enjoyed listening to the show this past year and would like to show your support for Definitely Dylan, you can buy us a virtual coffee here.
