Today's program featured several tracks from Bob Dylan's "Shadows in The Night," to be released this Tuesday. We spent time talking about the album, sharing our initial concerns when we heard about this project (which sent shivers of fearing something along the lines of "Christmas in the Heart.") However, this album works for us on several levels. Dylan's weathered voice is well-suited to these American standards and he has avoided the temptation to surround the singer's voice with heavy (Gordon Jenkins' like) orchestration. Instead, it is basically his touring band accompanying him and the sounds of some beautiful pedal and lap steel guitar serve to link many of these songs. Aside from a few tracks, he's avoided the usual chestnuts artists seize upon when they venture into the "great American songbook" territory and has included some more obscure works.

Today's program featured a phone conversation with Sloan Wainwright and an in-studio visit with Caroline Doctorow. We played several tracks from the newly-released double CD, "Another Day, Another Time," based on a concert at Town Hall in September, 2013, celebrating the music of the film "Inside Llewyn Davis" and also sampled new releases from Jorma Kaukonen and The Gibson Brothers.
