Wichita Lineman

Six Degrees of Dylan - Audio Episodes · Nov 5, 2026 · 7m · transcript

Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman” opens a journey through the people who carry songs between different lives. Colin Macgadie follows Jimmy Webb’s writing into the 5th Dimension, Laura Nyro’s own performance and two distinct Blood, Sweat & Tears lineups, before Al Kooper’s organ brings the route to Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”. Documented authorship and personnel links frame a listening argument about how much human experience a popular record can contain.
