Cynthia Gooding, a traditional folk singer, is best known for her time as a presenter on WBAI radio, hosting two shows, “Cynthia and Sensible” and “Folksinger’s Choice”, on which she interviewed Bob Dylan in 1962. Gooding was the ideal person to put the often reticent Bob Dylan at ease. She was a willing listener and was able to engage Dylan through her considerable knowledge of folk music. She had met Dylan on several occasions previously, going back to 1959 when he attended a party after one of Gooding’s Minneapolis gigs. As often happened at these get-togethers, a guitar was passed around and Gooding was apparently suitably impressed and charmed by young Mr Dylan’s performance. Although Gooding says in her Folksinger’s Choice interview that Dylan “is one of the quickest rises in folk music”, at the time this show was broadcast, probably on March 11, 1962, Dylan was still pretty much an unknown. His first album had not yet been released and he had only just begun writing his own songs. Also, Dylan was still reinventing his own fanciful past. A past that would supposedly include skipping school and working in a carnival for about six years when in actual fact, Dylan graduated from Hibbing High in June 1959 and, if he did work in a carnival at all, which is highly unlikely, it would have been more like six days than six years! However, far from spoiling the show, these tall tales only go to enhance one of the best early recordings we have of Bob Dylan. The show, which is interspersed with chat between Gooding and Dylan, futures 11 songs, three of them newly minted early Dylan originals. Folksinger’s Choice contains the only known Dylan performances of ‘Smokestack Lightning’, ‘Hard Travelin’’ and ‘Roll On, John’ and features the first known outings of ‘The Death Of Emmett Till’ and ‘Standing On The Highway’. ‘Folksinger’s Choice’ is therefore an incredibly important early document.

The Basement Tapes (2009)  

BUY NOW

Album has been carefully re-mastered and the original album art restored with additional and previously unseen photos

In the summer and fall of 1967, while he was recuperating from his motorcycle accident in Woodstock, Dylan regularly got together with members of his 1966 backing group (who would become known as The Band) for informal sessions.  Luckily for everyone, the musicians left a tape recorder running much of the time.  The tapes fell into the hands of collectors and were widely circulated and bootlegged.  In 1975, Columbia Records officially assembled twenty-four of the performances on a two-disc set known as The Basement Tapes.  The songs hold a unique and precious place in Dylan’s work.

Before The Flood (2009)

Album has been carefully re-mastered and the original album art restored with additional and previously unseen photos

Before The Flood is a double-album souvenir of Dylan’s record-breaking, critically-acclaimed 1974 North American tour with The Band.  It is also a document of a transitional period in Dylan’s life and art. Dylan tears through his greatest songs in a manner that might not be comforting, but guarantees it to be one of the best live albums ever.

New Morning (2009)

BUY NOW

Album has been carefully re-mastered and the original album art restored with additional and previously unseen photos

New Morning expands on the laid-back country-rock of John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline by adding a more pronounced rock & roll edge.  The album is filled out with love songs, pop songs, pastorales like “Winterlude” (a waltz) as well as the funny, deadpan “If Dogs Run Free,” making New Morning a charming, endearing record.

BOB DYLAN (2005)

BUY NOW

This Legacy reissue has been remastered for phenomenal clarity and sound. All the artwork on the original LP issue has been restored, along with new never before seen photos from the recording session.

Dylan’s astonishing debut album, recorded at Columbia Recording Studios in 1961. This is a 20 year-old Dylan, newly arrived in New York to be the next Woody Guthrie, singing traditional songs and original compositions with an aggressiveness and emotion that belie his young age.

Guthrie’s influence looms large over classic renditions of traditional songs, such as “Man of Constant Sorrow” and “Pretty Peggy-O,” as well as the poignant “Song for Woody” – one of two original compositions on the album. Even more powerful is the influence of Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson and the other great blues men, whose death-haunted emotions are carried through songs like “See That My

Grave Is Kept Clean,” “Fixin’ To Die” and “In My Time Of Dyin’.” “Talkin New York,” the second original composition, is a first glimpse of the savage wit that would come to mark his work.

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' (2005)

This Legacy reissue has been remastered for phenomenal clarity and sound. All the artwork on the original LP issue has been restored, along with new never before seen photos from the recording session.

Dylan’s first album comprised entirely of original compositions, The Times They Are A-Changin’ is a solemn, often dark, album depicting the unrest and discomfiting nature of the times.

In many ways it is quintessential early Dylan – with traditional protest songs, such as the trademark title track, following on from the preceding album’s “Blowin’ In The Wind,” alongside other powerful and cutting songs of social injustice (“Only a Pawn in Their Game,” “The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Caroll” and “With God On Our Side.”). Among the topical grimness, however, are some beautiful songs, including “Boots of Spanish Leather” and “One Too Many Mornings.” It is an album reflecting uncertain times, and it is a turning point in his career, his Another Side follow up a year later would see a much lighter and humorous Dylan. With some of the most important Dylan songs ever recorded, this is an essential part of any music fan’s collection.

Bob Dylan's Jukebox  

BUY NOW

“Those songs are my lexicon and prayer book”, Bob Dylan told an interviewer in 1997: “You can find all my philosophy in those old songs “. Dylan was talking about how traditional songs had shaped both his life and his own music. Some might find it a little strange that one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century should rely so heavily on influences from a bygone age. “Strap yourself to a tree with roots” Dylan sang in 1967. After all, if you don’t know where you’re coming from how can you know where you’re going?

Over the years, Bob Dylan has been referred to variously as “a sponge” or as “the blotting paper man” and during his teenage years and throughout the 1960s he soaked up a plethora of influences. some knowingly and others unconsciously. His thirst to discover the origins of songs from a variety of musical genres including country, folk, blues and rock ‘n’ roll was unquenchable and remains so to this day.

This CD brings together a wide-ranging selection of Dylan’s pre and post war influences, his black and white roots - spiritual and secular - through a collection of songs that Dylan has covered on records or has performed live in concert.

From as far back as his early teens it was inevitable that Dylan would become a musician and in his final school yearbook he declared his intention was “To join Little Richard”, which is where this Cd begins....

This Cd comes complete with a 16-page booklet of notes illustrated with photographs throughout.

BOB DYLAN: THE CLASSIC INTERVIEW - VOLUME 3, 1979-1981

BUY NOW

The interviews contained on this CD cover one of the most important and intriguing junctures in Bob Dylan’s entire career. 1978 had been a harrowing year for Dylan; his marriage had finally broken down and a painful divorce was followed by a long and bitter custody battle in which he lost guardianship of his children. Add to this both the critical and box office failures of his epic film “Renaldo and Clara” and it’s clear that events were not going Dylan’s way. His huge 1978 world tour was in part undertaken as a diversion from these frustrations, but the road brought him little solace and by the final stages of the tour he was at an ail time low - lower even than the time of his 1966 motorcycle accident and the temporary retirement that followed. It was against this background of disappointments and frustrations that one of America’s most celebrated Jews encountered Christ and became Born Again. This collection of interviews gives unique insights into Dylan’s thoughts during this pivotal and highly creative period. Most notably, his comments about the American Atheists Movement are unusually frank and make fascinating listening. This beautifully packaged CD (total playing time: 64 mins approx) is accompanied by a 16 page booklet plus liner notes written by Derek Barker.
