This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood jam sessions features a little known Bob Dylan tune performed by one of our favorite jam session guests.
Many of us think we know a lot of Dylan tunes. And then we think again of our good friend Rob McNurlin, who really knows a lot of Dylan tunes.
One night last summer when Rob was home from Nashville and sitting in with us, our old buddy Zoe Brewer was in the room and she said, "Hey, Rob, do that Willie McTell song!" Rob thought for a moment and then out came this beautiful, little-known song that Dylan wrote in the early 1980s and didn't release until almost a decade later. Rob's rendition of "Blind Willie McTell" was the hit of the evening. Hear the audio.
By the way, if you'd like see video of Rob doing this and other songs at the Flood jam sessions, CLICK HERE!
Finally, remember that the tunes from the jam sessions make up our weekly Flood podcasts. You can subscribe for free and get the music automatically delivered to your computer each Thursday. For details on that, click here.
