097 – "32-20 Blues"

Sign on the Window isn't the Bob Dylan podcast you need, but it's definitely the one that you want! Each week we select a Dylan song at random, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. This week we close out Robert Johnson Month with Dylan's cover of "32-20 Blues."

This week, Kelly and Daniel talk context (3:00), where Johnson got the song (8:00), an overview of the song's arsenal (11:00), and why Dylan chose this one (18:00). Does it work? (24:00) and our final thoughts on memory, history and all the things we didn't get to discuss (29:00). We talk playlist (41:00), recommend our respective roadtrips (45:30) and choose our next song, three away from 100 episodes!
