Latest / Six Degrees of Dylan - Audio Episodes
I Put a Spell On You
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins casts the first spell; Nina Simone reveals how differently the same song can speak. Colin follows her repertoire into Jacques Brel, David Bowie’s English-language “Amsterdam” and Scott Walker’s cinematic “The Seventh Seal”, before arriving at Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”. Six guided listening stops trace authorship, interpretation and artistic admiration, ending with a listening comparison about how much drama a popular song can hold.
