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…

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…

Too Late (Band Version) 1983 – Bob Dylan
Too Late is another magnificent outtake from Bob Dylan, recorded during the sessions for his 1983 album Infidels. Imagine writing and recording a song like this and then leaving it unreleased for nearly forty years. Its absence from the Infidels…
