S02.19 The Street to Slow Train – Song & Dance Man Vol.2 Ch.1 with Michael Gray
Season 2 · Episode 19
samedi 25 novembre 2023 • Duration 26:57
In this episode we talk with author Michael Gray about Chapter One of Volume 2 of Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan - Yonder Comes Sin, which was just released.
Much of the discussion is about Street-Legal, and how that album revealed Dylan's evolving search for salvation - in a way that perhaps foreshadowed the gospel years much more clearly than anyone caught at the time.

S02.16 Lay Down Your Weary Tune – Song & Dance Man Ch 6 With Michael Gray
Season 2 · Episode 16
vendredi 13 octobre 2023 • Duration 25:08
Only one song from Dylan's 1960s output earned a dedicated chapter in Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan (Vol.1), and it's a song that Dylan never even released until over 20 years later. In this episode we talk to Michael Gray about "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" (later released on Biograph in 1985 and later on Side Tracks).
The song is called out for special attention, because as Michael explains, it is unlike any other in Dylan's catalog before or since. We'll learn why in this episode. Selections from Chapter Six are read in this episode by Jim Salvucci, the host of The Dylantantes - another great podcast on The FM Podcast Network.

S02.12 Dylan Moves Toward Complexity (Pt.1) With Michael Gray
Season 2 · Episode 12
mercredi 30 août 2023 • Duration 31:46
In this fourth episode in our Series on the new book release Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan (Vol.1) we talk to author Michael Gray about Chapter Four: Dylan's Use of Language: Toward Complexity. We discuss the changes on songs seen over the course of Dylan's first seven albums - from Bob Dylan through Blonde on Blonde.
The changes Bob Dylan went through from 1962 through 1966 are myriad, as everyone who has listened to the run of albums and live shows from that period knows. Dylan started playing primarily covers of folk songs and other ballads, and quickly became a distinctive songwriter (with early songs including the notable Song to Woody and Blowin In The Wind) who then grew and changed at perhaps the most incredible pace ever (literally) recorded.
** There is an Extended Version and Video of this episode available. Details below. **
**S02.14 is a Pt.2 - Another 40 Minutes - Discussing This Chapter - Available to FM+ Subscribers**
One of the many things going on in this period is a trend towards complexity of lyric. It's a long way from 'How Many Ears Can One Man Have' to 'Your Matchbook Songs and Your Gypsy Hymns'. Michael Gray talks about these changes, illustrates them, and highlights the most interesting of them.
As in the prior episodes, we'll listen to passages from the book and then Michael comments, adds new thoughts, and answers questions. The selections for Chapter Four are read in this episode by Anne Margaret Daniel, a writer and professor and author from Woodstock NY.
Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan was first released in 1972 in the UK, and 1973 in the US. It was updated twice before, in the early 80's and late 90's - eventually growing to over 900 pages.
