Last Friday on 'Wordsongs,' Wassy and Coyote spent a few minutes marveling at the cinema-of-the-mind greatness of Dylan's 'Isis'--or as Coyote calls it, 'Is-Is,' or host WAS in the present tense. youtu.be/INilAY6aJTc
Continuing last week's exploration of the songs by Bob Dylan AND Robert Hunter, here's Peter Parcek's cover of 'Beyond Here Lies Nothin' from Bob's Tempest record. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezfU...
Last week on 'Rhymes with Bob,' the duet of WAS and Coyote looked at the writing partnership of Dylan and Robert Hunter. Here's one of their best collaborations, covered by the amazing Benmont Tench of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers. 'Duquesne Whistle.' youtu.be/RBEFwfYNSuU
Last week on 'Rhymes with Bob,' Wassy and Coyote tried to 'find out something only dead men know' by disinterring the Bob Dylan/Robert Hunter composition 'Silvio.' Although Hunter is best known partnering with Jerry Garcia, he wrote a bunch with Bob. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnqS...
Yesterday on "Rhymes with Bob," Wassy and Coyote parked themselves around the campfire to enjoy the Dylan folk anthem "When the Ship Comes In." WAS had been spinning Irish songs on Wordsongs, and as this tune has been covered by many Irish artists, it seemed appropriate. youtu.be/5c9_XkYYjTU
Here it is Thursday and we have yet to post last Friday's 'Rhymes with Bob' selection: Moonlight, from the Love and Theft LP. This tune is a real throwback, Dylan's attempt at writing a standard, one that would have sounded good on an old laquered 78 rpm record. Enjoy! youtu.be/ljHCi1W_EjQ
You may ask yourself, what if Bob Dylan had decided to be a pop star? Then he'd be Rod Stewart. On last week's 'Rhymes with Bob' we covered Dylan's 'Forever Young'; in the '80s Rod 'borrowed' it to create his own version. Dylan got a writing credit, so all was good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGzn...
On Friday 'Rhymes with Bob' was a rerun as WAS was out of town, but the song was one of the best ever by Dylan, 'Forever Young.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frj2...

Last week on 'Rhymes with Bob' Wassy and Coyote raved about Dylan's 'It's All Over Now Baby Blue.' Coyote plays in a bunch of bands and when they cover the song, it's always the Bonnie Raitt arrangement! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOVe...
Continuing our tribute to Dylan's "Watching the River Flow" (which Wassy and Coyote discussed last Friday on 'Rhymes with Bob'), here's a cover by the man who produced the original version of the song. Leon Russell and son watchin' that river flow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCz-...
Last week's 'Rhymes with Bob' song was Dylan's 'Watching the River Flow.' Yesterday we posted a cover by the Rolling Stones in tribute to keyboard player Ian Stewart. Here's Stewart himself tickling the ivories with Joe Cocker singing the lead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkyf...
Last week on 'Rhymes with Bob' WAS and Coyote joined Mr. Dylan and were 'Watching the River Flow.' Here's probably the tastiest cover, this one by the Rolling Stones and friends for a tribute album honoring the late great Ian Stewart. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6k3...
On Friday 'Rhymes with Bob' sat on the sand and 'watched the river flow.' This Leon Russell-produced gem also features Jesse Ed Davis on guitar. A bouncy blues shuffle about a man who is torn between the pastoral and the urban, where 'people disagreeing everything' www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xRl...
