YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS

In other news, Bob Dylan will continue his assault on the Great American Songbook with a three album set of Tin Pan Alley standards called Triplicate, scheduled for release on March 31. I don’t mind Dylan recording an album or two (or even five) of cover songs, but I wish he’d try his hand at other genres. How about some blues covers, or a Hank Williams tribute album?

I also wish that the Rolling Stones had consulted me on their Blue & Lonesome project. I like “Ride ‘Em On Down,” and a handful of other songs are OK, but I could have done a better job picking material for them. Someday I’m going to write a blog post about songs I wish Dylan, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones had recorded.  Stay tuned.
