3/4/2021: "A House in New Orleans": Cities Where Bob Dylan Recorded pt 4

We continue our twelve-part series featuring the cities where Dylan recorded his studio albums over the decades. Part four features New Orleans, where Dylan recorded OH MERCY in a house on Soniat Street in March of 1989. You'll hear a survey of New Orleans music, you'll learn who Dylan's two favorite singers are, you'll learn what legendary jazz and bluesman taught Dylan important lessons about how to play the guitar, and you'll learn how OH MERCY was recorded. In "20 Pounds of Headlines" we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan, which includes news about a 3-CD Dylan set released last week, a new book, an upcoming conference, and an upcoming tribute concert by Patti Smith for Dylan's 80th birthday. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you who did "Most of the Time" better: Bob Dylan (recorded in New Orleans) or Betty LaVette.
