Hard Rain (Vinyl LP) Folk & Americana

Hard Rain (Vinyl LP) Folk & AmericanaFor the last few months of 1975 and the first few of 1976, Bob Dylan led two tours, both unoffically called 'Rolling Thunder.' The tours were a kind of travelling circus, with many guest musicians (Roger Mcguinn, Joan Baez, T Bone Burnett, Mick Ronson, Ronee Blakely) and some weird hangers on (Dennis Hopper, Sam Shepard). out of these notorious shows came Dylan's much ballyhooed (and largely unseen) four hour film renaldo and clara, a tv concert

or the handclaps and swinging organ bloops over the potent shredding and guttural riff delivered by Johnson in 'when you cut'

and a French vocal version of Otis Redding's soul hit
