Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Molly Tuttle - “Didn’t Leave Nobody But The Baby”

 Molly Tuttle shared this extraordinary gem . . . .reflecting her astonishment at her company with great figures of country folk Americana Emmylou Harris and Alison Krauss cover the Brither Where Art Thou 25th Anniversary the masterpiece ‘Didn’t Leave Nothing But The Baby’


Molly says: "I will never forget this moment singing “Didn’t Leave Nobody But The Baby” with @alisonkrauss and @emmylouharrisofficial at the @opry for the 25th anniversary of “O Brother, Where Art Thou.” O Brother was my favorite movie as a kid and the soundtrack shaped the musician I am today. Alison, Emmylou, and @gillianwelchofficial, who sang this iconic song in the unforgettable “siren” scene, are three of my all time biggest heroes- Gillian was overseas on tour in Australia and I was lucky enough to be her stand in”!
so might sign off for the day with this haunting classic Americana pome

Flagging Down The Double Es: Ray Padgett : Bob Dylan LIVE!

Two Nights in Berkeley (by Ian Grant)

2026-06-13/14, Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA

Bob Dylan has spent the last two nights performing at the famous Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California. Each night featured a slightly different setlist—the return of “I Shall Be Released” to close night one, and the perennial “Every Grain of Sand” to close night two.

Ian Grant attended both nights and reports in. Ian is probably well-known to many of you. He’s the co-host of two excellent podcasts, Jokermen and Never Ending Stories (and I’m not just saying that because I’m an occasional guest on both). Jokermen just finished their epic Beach Boys series (I talked about my favorite Brian Wilson solo album), and are taking a summer detour through indie punks Death Grips before revealing their next full series. Ian also writes for Aquarium Drunkard and GQ and has his own Substack, Hard Disk.

I’ll turn it over to Ian… (subscribe and catch Ian’s review here . . . .)
