I was cleaning up in my files today, and I came across this recording, which I had completely forgotten I made.
I also realised that when Dylan played his ’95 shows, he was younger than I am now.
This is both a worrying and a comforting thought.
Worrying because back then I considered him an old man (and two years later he almost died).
Comforting because he’s kept going for a whole generation since then, producing some of his best material ever, beginning with TOOM – which he recorded when he was exactly my age, as of today.
Which means I’ve got one year to produce something similar. Should be doable.
In the meantime: here’s a reminder of vol. 10 about Brownsville Girl and the snake in Eden:vol. 10 about Brownsville Girl and the snake in Eden:

Love that Eyolf. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday Eyolf! I *love* your cover here, really soulful. The minor chords really hit, the vocals too. Should be doable indeed.
