My name is Ben Barrow, and this is Bob Dylan album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-depth look at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by record.

Welcome to season seven. I can't believe it. Seven seasons of this. I can only, well, I don't want to start the whole season with an apology, but here we are. Do you know what? This has

a little prelude to it because the other day I was giving a little talk, a little kind of seminar,

if you will, about podcasting and radio. I work in radio and one of my first things was to say,

if you're going to be a podcaster, if you're going to work in radio, if you're going to put our audio content of any kind, you need to do it regularly and you need to do it

consistently. And I thought in the back of my mind, that podcast I do that I love has not gone out

for almost a year now. But, you know, this is a slightly different podcast. You're undermill

podcast. It's not just two people chatting

there's there's other stuff involved in it um so i can only apologize about the weights between seasons

uh that is my fault i've had a couple of big projects including actually a dillon project that i'll be

talking more and more about over the next couple of weeks um that's taken up my time but we are back

now for season seven got some great albums to look at

got some not so good albums to look at um today's is definitely a great album we'll start with

new morning just a second first though let's mention some patreon subscribers so even when the podcast

isn't running i do an extra show on patreon which is a subscription service it's five pounds a month

you get get some episodes

that are similar to this and some interviews as well, quite a bit on there now, actually.

Some episodes have gone out recently that I'm really proud of, too, including an interview

with Kevin O'Degard, who played on the Blood on the Tracks album. He gave us a real fascinating

insight to those second round of sessions on the Blood and the Tracks album.

He was a really good storyteller actually and just had so much to say and was a really good

insight and fascinating to hear from someone that was at the birth of such an important album.
