Latest / Six Degrees of Dylan - Audio Episodes

Northern Sky
Nick Drake’s “Northern Sky” opens a journey from tentative hope to the unsettled world of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”. Colin Macgadie follows John Cale, Nico, Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon through shared credits, distinctive voices and songs that leave room for uncertainty. From the keyboards around Drake to the expanding harmonies of “Desperados Under the Eaves”, this episode asks how musicians give complicated feelings a place to live.
