1. Marcus Mumford Singing 'Kansas City'-
As it turns out, Bob Dylan wrote & recorded a lot of music. Some of which never actually made it on to major albums. In fact, Old Crow Medicine Show's song 'Wagon Wheel' is actually a Dylan song that he never finished. Go figure. So it stands to reason that a whole mess of great musicians would get together to make something awesome out of something awesome that Dylan wrote & recorded in a basement a million years ago. Hence The New Basement Tapes: Lost on the River. The New Basement Tapes, comprised of Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford & T Bone Burnett, just to name a few, brings 20 never before heard Dylan songs to life. Now, I would listen to Marcus Mumford sing stereo instructions, but this is infinitely better.
And, yes. That is Johnny Depp playing guitar. Get ready to swoon, friends.

I think I could withstand a substantial spring chill if I had this swim suit! Brrrrr....

What great finds! I'm not typically a Dylan fan, but there's something really appealing about these new songs. Also: LOVE that Johnny Depp's in there, randomly.
ReplyDeleteI think Dylan is one of those artists you either lover or don't care for. When I was a kid I really struggled to understand what he was saying! Either way, his songwriting prowess can't be denied & I think this album proves that. Thanks so much for reading, Mandy! <3
