Sticking with the Bob Dylan thread, I move on to this Mark Ronson-produced remix of the Blonde on Blonde song ‘Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I’ll go Mine).’
Ronson, best known for producing albums for Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, released in 2007 his own album of cover songs, giving his treatment to the work of artists including Ryan Adams, The Smiths, Coldplay, Radiohead and Britney Spears.
From Pearl Jam I make the rather simple leap to an Eddie Vedder solo performance. In October of 1992, a stellar lineup of artists gathered at Madison Square Garden to pay tribute to a living legend at The Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration.
Of course, Dylan has gone on to record four studio albums since then, including three that number among his very finest work, so maybe this celebration was a bit premature. But I guess it’s never too early to tip your hat to genius. I wonder what they’ll cook up for the 50th anniversary celebration three years from now.
Over the next eight days, I’m going to present songs in a sort of ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ format. While I was looking up clips on YouTube, I made some jumps from one to another based on random criteria and figured I might as well hold on to that process as I posted them.
The string begins with an elderly woman behind the counter in a small town…
