About this listen

Take a “Highway of Diamonds” back 62 years to the pivotal developments of Bob Dylan's professional life in November of 1963. At this time, having completed his third album the previous month, his creative energy becomes more directed toward poetry, prose, and playwriting than songwriting. Also, this month he performed six concerts. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we bring you news from the world of Bob Dylan, both in November of 1963 and today, including a reconstruction of Dylan’s days before and after the Kennedy assassination and his response to it. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote and tell us who did "Fixin’ to Die" better: Bukka White in November of 1963 or Bob Dylan in November of 1961. Listen to the episode, then go to our Twitter page @RainTrains to vote!
