SPEEDY SAYS: "In late 1975, after releasing the album Blood On Tracks earlier in the year, Bob Dylan launched the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Dylan recruited a host of other musicians to join him on this tour, including Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Mick Ronson, Kinky Friedman, T Bone Burnett, and Bob Neuwirth. Patti Smith was also invited to be part of the Revue, but politely declined. According to Larry Sloman, who documented the tour, "onstage it was like a carnival. After intermission, the curtain rose to an incredible sight, Bob and Joan, together again after all these years. The tour met with tremendous critical acclaim. For example, Clinton Heylin Wrote "The Rolling Thunder Revue shows remain some of the finest music Dylan ever made with a live band."  Them after releasing the album Desire in early 1976, Dylan went back on the road with the Rolling Thunder Review for a series of Spring shows.  This soundboard captures the tour in Austin on May 12, 1976, a half century ago today!  Note: this one was too big for MirrorCreator so tested a new transfer host.”

Excerpt from the Rolling Thunder Logbook : Sam Shepherd

 Page 17 of Sam Shepard's "Rolling Thunder Logbook." 

He'd been hired to write dialog for 'Renaldo and Clara" but left the tour after noticing how the musician-actors were improvising their scenes, not memorising his script.

Birthdays: STEVE WINWOOD (78)

 Happy 78th birthday to Steve Winwood! 

 

“The great influences were people like B.B. and Freddie King, T-Bone Walker – then ‘Little Hubert,’ Hubert Sumlin,” says Winwood. “Also Buddy Guy and Otis Rush, and we were discovering people like Louisiana Red in the early ’60s. There was a certain camaraderie with everyone who played it. In fact, when I was 16 years old and left school and left home, I went to London, and Eric Clapton, who was three years older than me, kind of took me under his wing – a bit like an older brother. We listened to a lot of stuff; he played me a lot of stuff, I played him some stuff. There were fewer people playing guitar like that then. There was a big excitement about that music. My brother had a band, and in his band he had some guys who were at art college. A lot of the guys at art college were big blues enthusiasts. They used to bring me records to hear all the time, just because they knew I was interested. It was a bit of a clique.”

“Of course, the music business got much more corporate and much more focused on marketing since the late ’60s,” Winwood feels. “Record companies became big business. In the earlier ’60s, you had the main record companies, but the companies who were putting out the more interesting stuff were more like what we’d call boutique labels today – with people who were kind of like playboy mavericks who were music lovers. I think you could even go back to Atlantic Records and Ahmet Ertegun, which were also in the same ilk. It was much more about the music than the marketing and promotion.”

 I might sign off the day with this wonderful performance of an Irish classic song in tribute to Donal Lunny

On Raglan Road - Sinéad O'Connor with Donal Lunny & Band, 1996

Sinéad O'Connor performs 'On Raglan Road'.

A special episode of The Late Late Show is dedicated to musician Donal Lunny, former member of Planxty, The Bothy Band and Moving Hearts, amongst others.

Among the musicians gathered to celebrate his work are Davy Spillane, Christy Moore, Máire Brennan, Sinéad O'Connor, Brendan Power, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Mark Atkins, Sharon Shannon, Brian Kennedy, Shara Nelson, and Óisin Lunny.

One of the many guests on the show paying tribute to Donal Lunny is Sinéad O'Connor, who recently gave birth to her daughter, Brigidine Roisin.

"We're delighted to welcome Sinéad O'Connor.”

We are all the poorer for her tragic and unfortunate death
