365 Days of Dylan, Day 21: Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)

365 Days of Dylan, Day 21: Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) from Street-Legal (1978), one of Dylan's less-loved albums.

• Greil Marcus' 1978 Rolling Stone review of Street-Legal. Interesting, his comparision of Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) to the Eagle's Hotel California.
• Ultimate Classic Rock's look back at Street-Legal. Evidently, the album did much better in the UK.

Performances by Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia and Tim O'Brien.

From Garcia plays Dylan.

From Red on Blonde, one of my favorite Dylan cover albums. Solid stuff, every song.

Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) lyrics.

Despite negative reviews of Street-Legal, Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) is listed as 100 on Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs.

365 Days of Dylan, Day 6: Tough Mama

"Tough Mama" from Planet Waves.

Six days into my year-long tribute to Bob Dylan and one thing I love about this project already is the opportunity to listen to songs I may have missed or forgotten along the way.

I love the loose, basement-jam quality of "Tough Mama." Evidently, Jerry Garcia did too.
