And seeing how the Platters had a hit in 1960 with it when Dylan was 20, it seems obvious timing for the song to have influenced him. Thanks for solving that for me! (But, ahem, just for fun, Sunny Side was copyrighted in 1929 or 1930 -- and Red Sails in 1935... and both composers appear to be "rather prolific!" Funny how Dylan snatches the very soul of the song though and makes it his own, that's what is real interesting.

It changes all the time, depending on the season. The Joe Turner thing originally struck me as T-Bone Walker, but I think that was because it's driven by the guitar and not the piano.Ted Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975741901400619750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-59093977426965380352007-03-22T10:56:00.000-04:002007-03-22T10:56:00.000-04:00Since its release, I've come to believe that Love ...Since its release, I've come to believe that Love & Theft is Dylan's best record - better even than the remarkable 65-66 run. I say this because it really does sound like a near-perfect history of the American popular music of the 20th Century. In order for that to be - in the same way that Freewheelin' also called upon the ghosts of everything that came before it - some "appropriation" is both necessary and fine by me. I've just found your blog and added a link to it in my own (http://thesethingstoo.blogspot.com).

Dylan risks being derivative but then again, he always has. Somehow though, he puts a Dylan "stamp" on it and it's great listening. "Love and Theft"--what a terrific title. I guess we steal what we love when it comes to music.elquesefuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574763179060529703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-40837242681451665752007-03-22T10:13:00.000-04:002007-03-22T10:13:00.000-04:00"Red Sails in the Sunset"...
