Watching The River Flow (1971) – Bob Dylan
This little bluesy rocker from Dylan certainly kicks the day into gear with its toe-tap-inducing rhythm, screeching guitar and saloon bar piano. And wouldn’t you know it? This was recorded in 1971 at Blue Rock Studio in New York City.…
Till There Was You (1963) – The Beatles
Joshua Lee Turner, the once teen guitar prodigy turned fully-fledged singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, recently released a video where he performed today’s Beatles track Till There Was You alongside Alice Faye. Turner featured here recently with his superb version of Bob…

Good Golly, Miss Molly (1958) – Little Richard
I mentioned in The Beatles’ Dizzy Miss Lizzy post how you could hear similarities with today’s featured track, Good Golly, Miss Molly. It quickly became apparent to me that I hadn’t posted about this timeless early rocker. So here I…

Visions of Johanna (1966) – Bob Dylan
Visions of Johanna is my favourite song in contemporary music. It’s the official bootleg version below from Live 1966 that I feel is the definitive one, at least for me. As you can see from the official bootleg cover above,…

Under The Red Sky (1990) – Bob Dylan
Under the Red Sky is the title track of one of Bob Dylan’s most scorned albums. I admit it’s not high on my pecking order either, but it does contain some good songs, including today’s featured track. Dylan certainly raised…
Two Soldiers (1993) – Bob Dylan
Nothing quite like a traditional folk song about war – and this is one I’ve always had a soft spot for and enjoy singing. The tenderness in Bob Dylan’s voice, and the way he caresses each word, really carries the…
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (1973) – Bob Dylan
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door comes from soundtrack album Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. I’ve always thought it’s a bit of an underrated record, even if today’s song certainly isn’t – it’s one of Bob Dylan’s most recognisable tracks and…
Tweeter And The Monkey Man (1988) – Traveling Wilburys
Tweeter and the Monkey Man” was really [written by] Tom Petty and Bob [Dylan]. Well, Jeff [Lynne] and I were there too, but they were just sitting there around in the kitchen, and he was for some reason talking about all this stuff that…
