In honour of the former Robert Zimmerman’s 84th birthday, Roy has put together a ‘Roots of Bob Dylan’ episode of RRR.
You won’t hear any Bob, though. Instead, you’ll hear original versions of songs that inspired Mr. Dylan, songs that Bob has covered or has used as templates for his own numbers.
Roy spins tracks from Nat Shilkret with Willard Robison, Jimmie Rodgers, Little Jr. Parker & His Blue Flames, Paul Clayton, Billy Lee Riley & His Little Green Men, the Davis Sisters, Billie Holiday, Bobby Vee, Billy ‘The Kid’ Emerson, and more.
That’s Sunday, May 25th, 2 PM, Mountain, on donor supported CKUA Radio. Dial in for The Roots of Bob Dylan on Rooooy’s Record Room, the show that revolves and reveals.
Note. This is an encore presentation of an earlier RRR.
Listen live. Or, this episode of RRR will be available ‘on demand’ for seven days after the first broadcast – ondemand.ckua.com.
