In 1983 Bob Dylan recorded Blind Willie McTell, but it remained unreleased until The Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3, and became one of Dylan's most revered songs. It finally appeared in concert in 1997 where it remained an occasional highlight for a long long time. On this episode we dive into this well loved Dylan song with Michael Gray, who researched and wrote extensively about it in his book Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan. This is the twelfth episode in our walk through The 50th Anniversary Series release - we're well into Volume 2, with this discussion covering material in Chapter 6. It's deep dive into a song Gray knows well, and a man he wrote a whole book about. As usually, we cover a bunch here but the book goes way deeper. ** There is a video version of this episode at TheFM.Club website for Premium Members.** LINKS Michael Gray Website (includes autographed first editions of his Blind Willie McTell book) Song & Dance Man Vol.2 Book Website Song & Dance Man Vol 1, 2, 3 Book Series Amazon Our Blind Willie McTell: The Song & The Man Playlist Seven Days: Our Weekly Bob Dylan Newsletter EXTENDED EDITIONS To get Extended and Bonus Episodes of our shows: Subscribe to FM+ : Click the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts or sign up here.

Dylan's participation in The Traveling Wilburys was a clear career bright spot of the 1980s. What started as a few friends dropping by the house turned into a hit record. In this episode Musician Jeff Slate talks to us about how this happened, what it produced, and what it mean to Dylan and his career. ** This Episode is available on video for FM Premium Members. ** LINKS Jeff Slate Website (AppleMusic) (Spotify) The Last Day of Summer (New Record) CD, Bonus Tracks Photo (US) CD - Limited Edition DigiPak (Rest of World) Traveling Wilburys Website The True History Of The Traveling Wilburys (Documentary YouTube) Videos Handle With Care End of The Line We're a proud member of The FM Podcast Network EXTENDED EDITIONS To hear the Extended and Bonus Episodes of our shows: Subscribe to FM+ : Click the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts or sign up here.
