The jazz (and beyond) world renowned pianist started out releasing albums with bassist Eldee Young and drummer Red Holt as the Ramsey Lewis Trio. By 1966, however, he started making albums with a much larger band. This instrumental version of the Shorty Long hit was arranged by Richard Evans and features the rhythm section of bassist Cleveland Eaton II and drummer Maurice White (of Earth, Wind & Fire fame) who replaced Young and Holt. |

| Sylvie Mora Summertime The Cole Slaw Club - The Big Rhythm & Blues Revue Bear Family Records 2016 I've undertaken the mission of playing a different version of "Summertime" on every episode of M2M taking place during the summer. I only have one week to go. Fall begins 8:04 PM CDT next Thursday (9/22) for those of you keeping track. This is a version you don't get to hear often. This version of the standard written by George and Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward was originally released in 1959 on the Verve label. Starts off acapella before everything really gets going in full swing. Great version. |

Mike Bloomfield) The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar From His Head to His Heart to His Hands Columbia/Legacy 2014 This live version was recorded at San Francisco's Warfield Theatre on November 15, 1980 and features Mike Bloomfield on guitar. This Mike Bloomfield box set was produced and curated by Al Kooper. Dylan's lyrics on this are so different than the version which ended up on his 1981 "Shot of Love" album. The way Dylan tears into this performance is truly inspiring. |
8:08 AM |
| Willie Nelson & Calexico Seรฑor (Tales Of Yankee Power) I'm Not There Soundtrack Columbia Records 2007 A lot of people had problems with this Todd Haynes film but it gave us one of the finest collections of various artists doing Bob Dylan songs that I've heard.

| The Paranoid Style I'd Bet My Land and Titles For Executive Meeting Bar/None Records 2022 There's a whole lot packed into that 2:58. Lead singer and songwriter Elizabeth Nelson is joined by Patterson Hood on guest vocals for this song. Nods to John Prine and Warren Zevon (at least, in my mind) among others. "One last illegal smile, Iโd bet my land and titles / Oh, I know you wanna kill your idols but yr idols are dead / This ainโt no church revival, this ainโt no public recital / No one wants a second viewing once you chart a course to ruin, no one ever calls from Vegas / just to wonder how youโre doing / I canโt see for miles -- but -- Iโd bet my land and titles." |
8:26 AM |
| The Rolling Stones Rip This Joint Live at the El Mocambo Polydor Records 2022 Recorded live at the 300-seat El Mocambo club in Toronto on March 4-5, 1977. Sure, you don't get the blistering sax solo by Bobby Keys on this but try to imagine being in a venue this small and hearing this! Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Ronnie Wood, and Charlie Watts were joined by Ian Stewart (piano), Billy Preston (keyboards), and Ollie Brown (percussion) for these shows. |
8:28 AM |
| Patti Smith Gloria: In Excelsis Deo/Gloria Horses Arista 1975 I haven't played this one on the show in a long time. I have no reasonable explanation.

| Nina Nastasia Blind as Batsies N Riderless Horse Temporary Residence Ltd. 2022 "I will go with you wherever / Digging holes for buried treasure / End the day with just our dirty feet / Tomorrow is a new adventure / Hearts of sorrow, hearts of pleasure / I love you and I know you love me / No matter when / No matter how we live or die / I've found a friend / I'm gonna take you where I fly." Gets darker from there. Sad and beautiful. |
