If you're headed to the Outlaw Music Festival and not intimately familiar with Bob Dylan's catalog and Fifties pop standards, you should read this.
Festival Tour has generated much attention due to Willie Nelson’s extended absence from the first two weeks of shows due to illness, Lukas Nelson stepping in for his father with occasional help from guests like Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and Edie Brickell, theAll of that has overshadowed the fact that Dylan is playing some of his loosest concerts in recent memory.
The changes in the show aren’t limited to the song selections. Drummer Jerry Pentecost left the band and was replaced by Dylan’s gospel-era bandmate Jim Keltner. Pedal steel guitarist Donnie Heron also left the band after an 18-year stint. What remains is a lean quartet of Keltner, bassist Tony Garnier, and guitarists Bob Britt and Doug Lancio. They’re hitting large outdoor amphitheaters packed with Willie Nelson fans, and playing with a joy and abandon not felt at Dylan concerts in years.
The sole bit of evidence in the set that Bob Dylan created music between 1967 and 1989 is “Simple Twist of Fate” from. This is a painfully personal song built at least partially around memories of his early Sixties girlfriend Suze Rotolo, who crushed his heart when she went to Europe in 1963 and met her eventual husband.
