Scott Warmuth is a Dylan fan, scholar, and researcher who is known as the guy who discovered the 'late period' writing style of Bob Dylan by identifying hundreds of influences and borrowed lyric sources across all kinds of books, movies, magazines, and more.

In this episode he points his magnifying glass at Time Out Of Mind and shares with us some of the sources that 'inspired' Dylan as he was creating the songs on this album. We'll hear about Henry Rollins, Johnny & Jack, and others who's writings have inspired or empowered the lyrics of Bob Dylan.

It's been observed that the road to Time Out Of Mind began when Dylan recorded two solo acoustic albums in the early 90's. Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong were yet another unexpected twist in Dylan's path, but by playing alone, at home, on songs he'd known for years, the feeling is Bob reconnected with some important basics that allowed him to regroup and then go forward to write the amazing songs that came out in the late 90's and through the 2000's.

In this first episode of Season Two, we start our look at these two albums, placing them in time, hearing a bit about what it was like to make them, and rediscovering the first reactions of some well known critics and reviewers.

A special highlight of this episode is an interview with GAIBTY and WGW engineer Micajah Ryan. This interview was done in 2017 by Brian Sword of The Double Stop podcast. In the full interview Micajah talks about his entire career for about 90 minutes, but here we just feature some of his discussion of working with Bob Dylan. Big thanks to The Double Stop podcast and Brian Sword for permission to include that interview in this episode.

Later in the episode we look at what Stereophile, RollingStone, Entertainment Weekly, and some other prominent reviewers said about GAIBTY in their initial reviews. We'll look at WGW reviews in an upcoming episode.

We'll continue this dive into Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong for the next batch of episodes, looking more closely at the songs, the time, the live shows, and the legacy of these great records.

Only one song from Dylan's 1960s output earned a dedicated chapter in Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan (Vol.1), and it's a song that Dylan never even released until over 20 years later. In this episode we talk to Michael Gray about "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" (later released on Biograph in 1985 and later on Side Tracks).

The song is called out for special attention, because as Michael explains, it is unlike any other in Dylan's catalog before or since. We'll learn why in this episode. Selections from Chapter Six are read in this episode by Jim Salvucci, the host of The Dylantantes - another great podcast on The FM Podcast Network.

** Premium Members can watch the video version of this interview at TheFM.Club Website **

Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan was first released in 1972 in the UK, and 1973 in the US. It was updated twice before, in the early 80's and late 90's - eventually growing to over 900 pages. It's been loved by Dylan Scholars and fans for all these decades - The Observer (London) Said: "A mammoth work of scholarship, often enthralling and never less than illuminating." After over a decade out of print, is is being re-issued in three volumes for it's 50th Anniversary - with the full text and extensive footnotes of the Third Edition reproduced in full.

You can order Vol. 1 of the re-release series on Amazon in print or on kindle.
