In May 2011, BBC Radio broadcast a special season of programmes to celebrate Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday. There were around 25 in total. Some were purely music shows, others took a more documentary style and there were some discussion programmes which looked at different aspects of the man’s life and career.
I’m in the midst of uploading all of these in the order they were broadcast (with the exception of the 6-part Bob Dylan Story and Blowin’ in the Wind: Bob Dylan’s Spiritual Journey, both of which are already available on Demonoid).
This is upload number 7, a special edition of Radio Scotland’s The Culture Café . In the programme, Clare English revisits one of the most controversial eras of Bob Dylan’s career, The Gospel Years.
His evangelical Christian compositions were a critical disaster at the time of release, causing anger and confusion amongst critics, fans and peers, but did they get it wrong? Bob Dylan’s musicians, biographers, critics and friends, reflect on this baffling but beguiling episode in rock history.
