Rev. Chance Perdue (Rector of Trinity, Myrtle Beach) gives a Lenten Lunch Lecture, on Johnny Cash's recordings of “One Too Many Mornings” and “It Ain't Me, Babe”. Recorded March 27, 2025

Johnny Cash had a long-time affinity for the work of — and for his friendship with — Bob Dylan.In his book Cash: The Autobiography, Johnny wrote of being on the road in the early ‘60s. “I had a portable record player that I'd take along on the road, and I'd put on Freewheelin' Bob Dylan backstage, then go out and do my show, then listen again as soon as I came off.“After a while at that, I wrote Bob a letter telling him how much of a fan I was,” he said. “He wrote back almost immediately, saying he'd been following my music since I Walk the Line, and so we began a correspondence.” The two finally met in person during the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. They remained close friends for the remaining 40 years of John's life. When his friend died in 2003, Dylan wrote, “In plain terms, Johnny was — and is — the North Star; you could guide your ship by him, the greatest of the greats, then and now.”“Truly he is what the land and country is all about,” continued Dylan, “the heart and soul of it personified and what it means to be here; and he said it all in plain English. I think we can have recollections of him, but we can't define him, any more than we can define a fountain of truth, light and beauty.”Despite their mutual admiration, Dylan and Cash collaborated only one time. That was on Dylan's landmark 1969 recording of the Nashville Skyline album, produced by Bob Johnston.Johnston also had produced Cash's At Folsom Prison the year earlier, and he hoped he could get the two artists to record an entire album together. To that end, Cash and Dylan recorded 15 songs together at the Nashville sessions, but ended up keeping only one of those tracks, “Girl from the North Country.”About This SongAmong those 15 tracks was one of Cash's all-time favorite Dylan compositions, the wistful “One Too Many Mornings,” which Bob wrote for his third studio album, The Times They Are a-Changin'.As noted here recently, the song was famously among a series of tunes Dylan wrote after his breakup with his lover Suze Rotolo. After its album release in 1964, the song sometimes pops up on Dylan's set lists, notably during his 1966 world tour and then, 10 years later, in his second Rolling Thunder Revue tour.But Johnny Cash embraced the song even more, covering it numerous times, including on the album Johnny & June in 1978.He recorded it again in 1986 as a duet with Waylon Jennings for their Heroes album. In 2012, a remix combining Cash's original vocals with new recordings by the Avett Brothers was included on the benefit album Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.Meanwhile, Johnny and Waylon's vocals on that original Heroes rendition later were augmented by Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson when the four of them created the supergroup The Highwaymen in the 1990s.Our Take on the TuneCharlie Bowen started doing this song back in college to have something to sing and play to the jam sessions in the dorms. It then was one of the songs Charlie brought along in that summer and fall of 1974 when Dave Peyton, Roger Samples and he started The Flood. And this lonely, lovely Dylan tune is still welcome at Flood gatherings, as you can heard on this track from last week's rehearsal.Want More Bob?By the way, if you'd like a little more Dylan in your diet, The Flood has an entire Bob-centric playlist set in up the free Radio Floodango music streaming service.

Music's most famous breakup in the late 20th century was surely the failed love affair of youngsters Suze Rotolo and Bob Dylan. Or at least it was the most productive parting on record.Following their split, 20-year-old Dylan wrote some his most plaintive songs of the era. “Don't Think Twice, It's All Right” and “Boots of Spanish Leather,” “Tomorrow is a Long Time” and “One Too Many Mornings, “Ballad in Plain D” and more were all clearly about Suze.One of the lesser known of Bob's breakup ballads from the same period was “Mama, You Been on My Mind.” EuropeIn mid-May 1964, Dylan completed a concert tour of England, afterward vacationing in France, Germany and Greece. During his ramble abroad, he wrote several songs for his upcoming album, Another Side of Bob Dylan.Then back in the States, he went into Columbia's Studio A and in a single night (June 9, 1964) he recorded 14 new songs, including one take of "Mama, You Been on My Mind.” When the album was released two months later, though, the song was not included. However, a few years later, “Mama, You Been on My Mind” became one of the earliest outtakes widely circulated on bootleg albums. The boots documented the two drafts of "Mama, You Been on My Mind" that Dylan wrote on notepaper from the May Fair Hotel where he had stayed in London during the tour.Dylan biographer Howard Sounes called it "one of the finest love songs he ever wrote.” Saying Dylan took responsibility for making a mess of his relationship with Rotolo, Sounes said the song showed Bob “could express himself with delicacy and maturity.”PerformancesIn concerts over the years, Dylan has performed the song hundreds of times, most notably in duets with his erstwhile post-Suze squeeze, Joan Baez. Their first duet was at Baez's concert at Forest Hills tennis stadium in Queens, NY, on Aug. 8, 1964. It was repeated a couple of months later, on Oct. 31, during Dylan's show at New York City's Philharmonic Hall. The two reprised their performance a decade later during Bob's 1975-76 Rolling Thunder Revue tour.Baez put a solo version — as “Daddy, You Been on My Mind” — on her 1965 Farewell, Angelina album.Meanwhile, the song has had some superstar coverage over the years, by the likes of Judy Collins and by Johnny Cash, by Rick Nelson and by George Harrison, by Linda Ronstadt and by Rod Stewart, and by everyone from The Kingston Trio to Dion and The Belmonts.Our Take on the TuneFlood founders Dave Peyton, Roger Samples and Charlie Bowen all started listening to the music of Bob Dylan 60 years ago, so it is little wonder that his songs are deeply woven in the band's fabric. Still today, whenever The Flood gets feeling folkie — as the guys were at this rehearsal a week or so ago — it's likely a Dylan tune will be the first to come to mind.Do More Dylan?Evidence of the band's delight in doing Dylan is the fact that one of the first special playlists created for the free Radio Floodango music streaming service a few years ago was this one done to celebrate Bobby's birthday.

Bob Dylan was 20 years old, lovesick and lonely in 1962. His beautiful girlfriend, Suze Rotolo, had prolonged her stay in Italy indefinitely, and Bobby wouldn't see her again for almost another year.Consequently, Suze figured prominently in a number of early Dylan verses, including some of his best love/angst songs of the period, including "Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” "One Too Many Mornings" and "Boots of Spanish Leather.”Above all, the Suze song was Bob's classic and most covered creation of the period: “Don't Think Twice, It's All Right.” When Dylan first performed the song publicly — 61 years ago this week at New York's Gaslight Cafe — Suze was already gone. For four months already, she had been away taking art classes at Italy's University of Perugia.Bob's bitterness over her long absence is evident throughout the song's lyrics. In fact, Dylan later told critic Nat Hentoff that the song wasn't a love song at all, but rather “a statement that maybe you can say to make yourself feel better ... as if you were talking to yourself.”Enter Paul ClaytonThe melody of the song was greatly influenced by the tune of a public domain traditional song called "Who's Gonna Buy Your Chickens When I'm Gone,” which Bob learned from fellow folkie Paul Clayton. (Clayton himself had recorded it two years earlier, though he tweaked it to be "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?”)Now, legend has it that Clayton had an unrequited crush on the young Dylan, but those tender feeling didn't stop him (or at least didn't stop his music publisher) from suing Bob for plagiarism.In addition to a similar melody, Dylan's song also borrowed a few lines — some word-for-word, others slightly altered — from the Clayton recording, notably, the opening words: “It ain't no use to sit and wonder why.” Most of the subsequent verses also open with “It ain't no use to….”As Phillippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon note in their authoritative Bob Dylan: All the Songs, Paul's lawsuit resulted in “a generous compensation for Clayton shortly before the two folksingers, reconciled, toured together in February 1964.”(Incidentally, another of Clayton's original lines — "So I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe, where I'm bound, I can't tell” — Dylan subbed out in subsequent recordings with "So long, honey babe, where I'm bound, I can't tell.”)Spreading the WordIn 1963, Columbia Records released “Don't Think Twice,” first on the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album, then as the B side of the single of “Blowin' in the Wind.” However, neither of those efforts really resonated with the record-buying public.But then that same year, Peter, Paul and Mary came into Bob's life. Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, also managed PP&M, and Grossman started offering his songs to them and to other artists as they headed into recording studios."Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" was one of three Dylan songs Peter, Paul and Mary picked up for their third album, In the Wind (the other two being “Blowin' in the Wind” and "Quit Your Lowdown Ways").Released as a single, the trio's recording of “Don't Think Twice” reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and and No. 2 on its Easy Listening charts. That disc not only popularized the song but also introduced many listeners around the world to a new name: “Bob Dylan.”Our Take on the TuneThis Dylan classic has been in the Floodisphere forever — Roger and Charlie used to sing it together a half century ago — but only recently has it made a move to be in the regular repertoire. That's when Randy stepped to sing his signature harmonies and Danny and Sam started doing double duty on the solos. This is a public episode.

בפברואר 1966 יצא בוב דילן בן ה25 למסע הופעות עולמי. יחד איתו חברים שיהוו את להקת הבּאנד המהוללה אך עדיין פעלו תחת השם The Hawks.  כזכור ב1965 כבר החל במלאכת חישמוּל שירת הפולק הכּללית ושירתו שלו בפרט. זה קרה בניפּורט וזה נשמע היטב בהקלטות. כל זאת למגינתם ליבם של הרדיקלים נאמני הבנג'ו ונבל היד. אך מעל הכל, נוכחות הגיטרות החשמליות והאורגנים הפרוגרסיביים לא היו הפתעה לאיש ב1966. בחודש מאי הגיע דילן לאנגליה. הופעותיו על פי המסורת היו מורכבות ממחצית אקוסטית כאשר בוב לבדו על הבמה עם גיטרה ומפוחית. החצי השני היה חשמלי יחד עם החברים שהצטרפו. דילן קלט כי הקהל האנגלי חצוי לכל הפחות. והחצי שלא אהב את מה הוא עשה היה קולני וזועם במיוחד. השיא הגיע במנצ'סטר ונחרת בדברי הימים כאשר אחד האנשים בקהל צעק על המשורר תמים-הדרך "ג'ודאס". כלומר יהודה איש-קריות, היינו - בוגד. על פי הרשומות דילן היה המום אך מוכן לכך מיום היוולדו. כבר בהופעות הקודמות למנצ'סטאר החלו קריאות הבוז להתהוות ולהישמע באולם. ואכן רבים שואלים מה קרה ערב ההופעה במנצ'סטר? מה הוא עשה לאנגלים? אם כן מה שקרה הוא שהיתה הופעה בשֶׁפילד. ב16 במאי 1966. ביום זה לפני 57 שנים. הופעה נדירה ומיוחדת במינה המאפשרת לעקוב אחר האופוזיציה לדילן בשנים האלו. מתנגדיו כמובן נכנעו בסופו של דבר וחזרו בהם מדבריהם. למעט כיסי התנגדות מעטים ובלתי רלבנטיים להיסטוריה המוזיקלית ששקעו בתהומות הנשייה. חברות ונאמנים - הלילה חוזרים אל יום 16 במאי. אל הערב שלפני. אל אולם התיאטרון בשפילד, אינגלאנד.  ליינאפ: 1.

De Vorzon founded Valiant Records in 1960.[5] During the 1960s, he signed the Association to Valiant, and produced its first single, a cover of the Bob Dylan tune "One Too Many Mornings."De Vorzon wrote "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight" for the Cascades, but the group did not record it. In 1963, De Vorzon recorded the song himself, with his group Barry and the Tamerlanes. Also in 1963 he co-wrote the ballad "Shy Girl" which was recorded by the Cascades.De Vorzon wrote the tune "Girls" for Johnny Burnette. It reached No. 37 in the UK 1961 charts.He composed the soundtracks to many 1970s and 1980s films, and one of the tunes, "Cotton's Dream" (from Bless the Beasts and Children) was retitled "Nadia's Theme" and re-released by A&M Records for the television soap opera The Young and the Restless. "Nadia's Theme" hit No. 8 on the US Top 40 in 1976 and the album from which it was taken peaked at No. 42 on the Billboard 200; in 1977, it won a Grammy Awardfor Best Instrumental Arrangement. The main title song, "Bless the Beasts and Children," was recorded by the Carpenters and received an Academy Award nomination.De Vorzon composed the tune "It's Christmas Once Again in Santa Barbara," which was re-recorded with various other city names, such as San Francisco and San Diego. He also wrote the "Theme from S.W.A.T.", and co-wrote the Eagles' hit "In the City" with Joe Walsh.

Huzzah, it's Definitely Dylan's 100th radio episode! That's 100 hours of us playing and enthusiastically discussing Bob Dylan's songs: the lyrics, the themes, and of course the music and performance!To celebrate, I asked our lovely listeners to tell us what songs they'd like to hear, and we received many, many fantastic requests, out of which we've chosen a few for this hour.If you enjoy this, and you have a particular song or performance you'd like to hear on the show, tell us in the comments, maybe we can play it in an upcoming episode.A few notes on this week's programme: if you'd like to listen to the very early episode in which I talk about the evolution of several Dylan songs on the stage (including “One Too Many Mornings”), you can find that here. I also thought I'd share the bootleg recording of the slightly earlier 1976 performance of the song that I mention in the episode. This version comes from 1 May, so it is almost a month before the Hard Rain version (I incorrectly remembered it only being a few days earlier). This is a stunning version, but I think you'll agree with me that the version on Hard Rain is a much more confident vocal performance.Also, “Too Much Of Nothing” was covered by Peter, Paul & Mary. Mary Travers does a terrific job on lead vocal and the song features, as you might expect, some wonderful harmonies. For better or worse, their version also rid the song of pretty much all of its chaotic energy.If you like, you can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon.Playlist:One Too Many Mornings (Hard Rain)When He Returns (Live in Toronto, Canada, 18 April, 1980)Too Much Of NothingBorn In Time (live in Newark, NJ, 1 February, 1998)It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (Take 1)It Takes A Lot To Laugh It' Takes A Train To Cry (Newport Folk Festival, 25 July 1965)Girl from the North Country feat Johnny Cash (with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)

In this week’s episode we take a momentary pause from our march through the Dick’s Picks series to discuss one of the best (some would say the best) live performance of all time: Bob Dylan & The Hawks 05/17/1966 concerts from the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, UK, known throughout history as the “Royal Albert Hall” Concert. Catching Dylan in the midst of a creative peak, just weeks prior to the release of his monumental album, Blonde On Blonde, and just months before he’d disappear from live performances for 8 years, it’s an incredible peek into an artist challenging the norms of his era, battling with an audience of imbeciles, and playing some of the best rock & roll ever made with The Hawks.Disc One is a complete acoustic set, which shows Dylan playing songs from Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and the yet-unreleased Blonde On Blonde. Every song has a claim for The Greatest Dylan Song of All Time, but highlights are found in the languid “Visions Of Johanna,” the haunting “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” the wild and atonal “Desolation Row,” and the stunning energy in “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Disc Two opens with stray guitar riffs before launching into “Tell Me, Momma.” From there we’re off. One of the greatest sets of rock & roll ever played. Reworking old songs like “I Don’t Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met,” “Baby Let Me Follow You Down,” and “One Too Many Mornings” as well as blasting tunes from his latest releases, “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” and “Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat,” Dylan battles his audience for the whole set, chastising them “It used to be like this….now it goes like that….” “...If only you wouldn’t clap so loud…” and forcing some of the best rock music ever played upon their ears. The boo’s are hurtled from afar from a crowd of fucking morons who want Dylan to be the Dylan they want them to be, and all the while the band plays louder and tighter and groovier. The set peaks following a searing “Ballad Of A Thin Man” with an audience member calling Dylan “Judas!” before Dylan responds with: “I don’t believe you….you’re a liar,” before instructing The Hawks to “Play it fucking loud!” They do just that, and one of the greatest versions of “Like A Rolling Stone” is unleashed on the world. The show is an absolutely stunning picture of Dylan, who, at 24, was at an early creative peak - some would say his highest - and on the tail end of a 18mo dive into amphetamine abuse. Strung out, exhausted, angry, but writing some of the best music he ever will, he combines all of this into a dual performance, acoustic/electric, that showcases the sheer genius of Dylan, and the lasting legacy of his craft.36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.
