Daniel Mackay

In May and June of 1963, Bob Dylan performed his first concert in California (where he sang his first duet with Joan Baez), walked off the set of THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, and finally saw his second album, which he had been working on for a year, appear in record stores. Take a “Highway of Diamonds” back 60 years to the pivotal developments of Bob Dylan's professional life in the late spring of 1963: May and June. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we bring you news from the world of Bob Dylan, both in May and June of 1963 and in 2023, which includes the passing of two towering musical figures. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote and tell us who did "Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chancer" better: Bob Dylan from THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN or Earl Scruggs.
