From Bob Dylan’s recent interview about his new album:

BF: Who are some of your favorite songwriters?

Bob Dylan: Buffett I guess. Lightfoot. Warren Zevon. Randy. John Prine. Guy Clark. Those kinds of writers.

BF: You and Lightfoot go way back.

Bob Dylan: Oh yeah. Gordo’s been around as long as me.

BF: What are your favorite songs of his?

Bob Dylan: “Shadows,” “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind.” I can’t think of any I don’t like.

One of my favorite musicians, and the greatest songwriter of the last 100 years (or more), Bob Dylan has been awarded an honorary Pultitzer Prize.

I’m a few albums behind on Dylan – I missed “Love and Theft” and “Time Out of Mind” and went straight to “Modern Times.” “Modern Times” is brilliant, and I’ve finally gone back and started to listen to “Time Out of Mind,” and I’m just stunned at what a good writer the man still is.

I saw him a few months ago with Elvis Costello as the opener. Easily one of the best 5 shows I’ve ever seen.
