Marvin and Mavis BLOWIN IN THE WIND GK: It's Bob Dylan as you've never heard him before, in the freewheelin'
Marvin and Mavis Smiley tradition you've gradually come to love, -----
it's Highway 61 Meets the Rural Route---- YOU AINT A GOIN NOWHERE GK: You don't need a weatherman to see that Marvin and Mavis Smiley
get into Bob Dylan like a funnel cloud looking for a trailer park. You'll
never hear Bob Dylan in the same way again, after you hear their version
of "Don't Think Twice It's All Right"----- DON'T THINK TWICE IT'S ALL RIGHT GK: Blowin In The Bluegrass is a CD not available in stores, but
look for it at a bluegrass festival near you, when Marvin and Mavis and
the boys come to town in the big green motor home that takes them all
across the country like a rolling stone
LIKE A ROLLING STONE------ GK: What does Bob Dylan think of this album? Bob says: TR (BOB): Hey I'm like listening to this Marvin and Mavis and
I'm going like, Did I actually write this? I mean, like this is the first
time I actually could understand the words---- GK: It's BLOWIN IN THE WIND, America's troubadour poet of the
Sixties, sung by a bluegrass couple in their early Fifties---- RAINY DAY WOMAN---- THE TIMES THEY ARE A'CHANGIN GK: Marvin and Mavis Smiley---- the Manhattan Valley Boys. © Garrison Keillor 2002 |
