Episode notes
Our guest today is American history teacher and musicologist Anthony Musumeci, as well a co-host of The Music Draft podcast. We discussed a living legend - songwriter Bob Dylan and his landmark album released on May 27, 1963 titled The Freewheelin', which was released on Columbia Records. This would be the first record from Zimmy to feature a generous breadbasket of original material that was produced by John Hammond and Tom Wilson.
My favorite quote from Anthony during our conversation is the following: “Songs are a window on what’s taking place in society.” Enjoy!
