Rob McNurlin Sings "Blind Willie McTell"
Many of us think we know a lot of Bob Dylan tunes. And then we think again of our good friend Rob McNurlin, who REALLY knows a lot of Bob Dylan tunes. One night last summer when Rob was home from Nashville and sitting in with us, our old buddy Zoe Brewer was in the room and she said, "Hey, Rob, do that Willie McTell song!" Rob thought for a moment and then out came this beautiful, little-known song that Dylan wrote in the early 1980s and didn't release until almost a decade later. It was the hit of the evening.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteRob McNurlin is my favorite for years....a real cowboy singer in the tradition of Woody Guthrie & Bob Dylan... Do you know when and where this version of 'Blind willie McTell' was recorded?
Thanx for your help,
