Dylan Through the Years, Part 1 (of 3)

If any musician deserves a three-part concert mini-series, it’s Bob Dylan. Well, so does Paul McCartney, but I’m sure we’ll get around to that at some point. In the meantime, Mid-Week Music presents “Dylan Through the Years,” which has Dana Pearson and guest musicians playing one song per album from 1962 to 2023 (plus a few singles, soundtrack tunes, and outtakes) over the course of three full-length concerts on three successive Wednesdays.

Part 1, covering 1962 to 1973, sees Pearson joined by multi-instrumentalist and all-around good egg John Swinconeck of Bath on hits and deep cuts (but mostly hits) from classic albums like Blonde on Blonde, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited, and Nashville Skyline.
