AKA Blind Boy Grunt

AKA Blind Boy Grunt

It’s a cover show. It’s a celebration. It’s a reconnaissance regarding a renaissance. To what do we owe this week’s offering? The answer is clearly the songs of Bob Dylan who, at one time recorded under the non de plume Blind Boy Grunt and we’ve got a track from the Broadside Ballads collection to prove it. But this week’s show will focus primarily on covers of Dylan tracks going back to Sam Cooke live at the Copa to an oddball cover by The Grass Roots. We’ll also share some fresh takes from Eric Clapton, Raul Malo, Audra Mae & The Forest Rangers, and a lovely cover of a rare but popular piece called Walkin’ Down The Line. We’re celebrating a multi-generational master of his dominion where his words and melodies honor the past and carve a well-defined path leading into the future of America’s songwriting craft.
