It's always good to hear Dylan step out from behind his own material and explore the songs of others. Here he teams up with Ralph Stanley on "The Lonesome River." Dylan and Stanley singing together can only be described as haunting - two voices reaching through time from the beginning of creation.
It's been far too long since I last posted on MOG - a fact I regret and blame on my work. In order to remedy this, I'm challenging myself to post more frequently. And I figure the best way for me to do that is to share songs that I enjoy and think others should hear. I make no claims about the enduring legacy or hipness of these - I just like 'em.
I'm starting things off with a track by P.J. Proby. Proby found some success in the sixties, mainly in England and mainly as a Tom Jones type singer. But there is more to him than that, as "Niki Hoeky" proves. A great slice of southern-funky-ness.
And here's a fun P.J. Proby fact: In 1968 he recorded an album called Three Week Hero, notable mainly because it marks the first time all four (future) members of Led Zeppelin palyed together on a record.

Interesting. Must admit I never thought I'd see P.J. Proby on the MOG. He is pretty damn obscure in the U.S. Thanks - not bad.
