Bob Dylan is one of the most important songwriters and musicians of our time. He has written hundreds of powerful songs and progressed through a number of performance styles. BROADSIDE was a magazine started in 1962 by Gordon Friesen and Sis Cunningham, a couple of Reds living in a Manhattan housing project. They had a mimeograph machine and some friends who wrote and sang great folk/topical songs. BROADSIDE was like SHEET MUSIC MONTYHLY for radicals, and they were the first to publish sheet music of "Blowin' In The Wind", "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore", "The Ballad Of Ira Hayes", among others. They also periodically put out albums of the best of these songs, sung by their authors. Gil Turner introduced Dylan to the Broadside office in 1962, and in the early years of the magazine, Dylan was listed on the masthead as a contributing editor. He appeared at a number of Broadside events and recorded songs for the magazine on the office's home tape recorder on a number of occasions. Seven of these recordings were released on Broadside Records under the pseudonym Blind Boy Grunt. "Talking John Birch" appeared in issue 1 of the magazine. It was the first time one of Dylan's compositions had been published.  read more »

Building up your collection of Bob Dylan tabs is great way to improve all areas of your playing. Repertoire, technique, chord knowledge and songwriting all benefit from the study of Bob Dylan. Hendrix was said to carry around a Bob Dylan songbook with him. Hmm. Pretty good endorsement right there!

Bob Destoys New York Well never forget when two months after 9/11 -- Bob Dylan played Madison Square Garden and declared, "You dont have to ask me how I feel about this town. Most of these songs were written here and the ones that werent were recorded here."

Bob always saves his best for his old stomping ground, and last Friday night he absolutely destroyed shit up on 175th Street at the United Palace Theater. (Even though he's clearly stated that "old young, age don't carry weight," it's important to mention that Bob is still kicking everyone's ass at age 67.)...

Rhythm and Blues pioneer Jerry Wexler, who helped build Atlantic Records into a music powerhouse in the 1950s and 1960s with artists like Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, died in Florida on Friday at age 91, Atlantic Records said.

Along with Atlantic's Ahmet Ertegun, Wexler revolutionized R&B music and built a record label that had few rivals in its day, pioneering Atlantic's move into "Southern Soul" music.  read more »
