Customer Reviews
Highly recommended
A simple twist of fate brought me to this podcast From my first “another side of BD “ LP bought as a 10th grader living in Paris . I have had an off and on love affair with his music since 1964 I love this - fond memories of older tunes I listened too so much and later cassettes which I owned by didn’t play so much Even bought some of the CDs... Few can write a tune with lyrics that slay me Your knowledge and take is so interesting . We thank you so very much
Ben
It’s a little galling to have listened to Dylan albums as they came out in the 60’s, to have a guy in his 30’s explain to me what I’ve been listening to. But Ben is the best. I don’t know where he gets the depth of knowledge about something created 30 years before he was born, but he’s got the goods. Thanks Ben, keep it going, and thanks.
I just found you!
I've been listening to Dylan for over 40 years, and was pretty sure there was nothing i could learn about this artist. I was soooo wrong! This podcast is entertaining and informative and has offered me the tools to return to the albums with a renewed passion for Dylan and his work. He has become a friend and a Virgil through the work of Bob! Thank you!!!!!
