Schlansky Does Dylan


Any of y'all that read American Songwriter know Evan Schlansky for his regular column, "The Schlansky Files," as well for a load of other great stuff he's contributed over the past few years. Schlansky also works for that other music magazine, Rolling Stone, and if you check out their Rock Daily blog today, you'll find a video that features him singin' "Hurricane" and "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)." Evan, another AS contributor, "Under the Radar" scribe David Mead, some RS staffers, and, you know, Tracy Bonham, The Pierces, and members of Albert Hammond, Jr., Mooney Suzuki and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, are all performing as the Rolling Thunder Reborn Band. The act was created to honor the 66th birthday of THE American Songwriter, Bob Dylan. It looks like it was a hell of a good time. We've been wondering why he didn't get Jann to send the RS jet down here to Nashville to bring the AS staff up for the party. Maybe next year. Seriously, though, rock on, dude.

By the way, Happy Birthday, Bob.
