The Emergence of Bob Dylan (1 or 2 hour special)
From Paul Ingles | 01:57:55
THE EMERGENCE OF BOB DYLAN traces the incomparable artist's rise to the world stage. First hour can stand alone.
Scores of great stations across the U.S. have already aired THE EMERGENCE OF BOB DYLAN and the good reviews are rolling in. "Well told, well crafted, well produced. The story telling is exquisite..." "No doubt the best documentary on Dylan, certainly of his early years..." "Insightful interviews, interesting choice of songs and a good narrative thread runs through both hours..." "What a fine tribute to one of the best singer-songwriters... I thought the song choice was exceptional..." "Being too young to have been around when Bob Dylan changed the world, I've always known that his contribution was great, but never really understood it in context. Your radio program really helped to put it into perspective" This two hour special from Paul Ingles ("The Beatles In America - 1964") and Public Radio International is still available for air. Two separate 59 minute segments, newscast compatible, one 30 second break in each. BROADCAST RIGHTS: Any Public Radio station may now carry this program. The program must be carried in its entirety or as just the first hour. Otherwise, no excerpting is permitted. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Hosted and produced by Paul Ingles, THE EMERGENCE OF BOB DYLAN traces the incomparable artist's rise to the world stage. Ingles examines the confluence of Dylan's career and that remarkable time in the American pop music landscape. In the first hour, he takes listeners on an exclusive tour of the Experience Music Project's Dylan retrospective with curator Jason Emmons and EMP Artistic Director Bob Santelli. Both hours feature several artists who crossed paths with Dylan early on. Listeners hear from Robbie Robertson of The Band, John Cohen and Mike Seeger of the New Lost City Ramblers, folk music expert Izzy Young, and others from Dylan's nascent years. Both hours contain a healthy mix of Dylan's music from this period, including both well-known and lesser-known tracks.

Introduction to this series on Bob Dylan's Poetics with focus on "To Ramona"

- Bill King
Show one introduces three questions the series will address: What kind of poet is Dylan? How can we deepen our appreciation of his work? How does his poetry work? This show provides short answers to each. Later shows develop these much more fully. The song, "To Ramona," becomes the primary focus. It is a simple song in appearance with deep philosophical implications about the state of "radical solitude" in which each of us exist.

Written in My Soul from Me to You: Blood on the Tracks at 30

A special radio tribute to Bob Dylan's landmark album.

- WFUV
"Tangled Up in Blue," "Shelter from the Storm," "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" -- unforgettable songs from Bob Dylan's landmark 1975 album "Blood on the Tracks," often considered one of Dylan's--and popular music's--best recordings.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, WFUV in New York is offering a tribute recorded live at Manhattan's Merkin Concert Hall. This two-hour special features performances by Joan Osborne, Ollabelle, Citizen Cope, Toshi Reagon, Jen Chapin, Jeffrey Gaines, Jesse Harris and others interpreting the songs of "Blood on the Tracks."
In addition, songwriter Rodney Crowell, authors Greil Marcus ("The Rose & the Briar: Death, Love and Liberty in the American Ballad"), Alex Ross (The New Yorker) and Wendy Lesser (Threepenny Review) and others discuss the enduring significance of Dylan's masterwork.
This high-quality special is an excellent fit for news-talk stations. The program is similar to “Creators at Carnegie” in style and presentation, and 100% USDA-certified, grade A newscast compatible.
Released in January, 1975 "Blood on the Tracks" has been called "one of rock's most compelling dramas" (Uncut). The album was considered a return to form for Dylan, in the shape of a deeply personal album informed by his recent divorce.
Its ten songs make up a cycle that New Yorker writer Alex Ross describes as a kind of mystery. "Not a whodunit-type mystery, but the fundamental mystery of human love as a detective story. One that makes you ask, What went on here? Who are these people?" Ross calls it a work with "enormous emotional impact. It creates a world that is almost scarily intimate, and draws me into someone else's inner life. Every time I listen, I get something new out of it."
