Today it's My Favorite ALbum, as
Melbourne singer-songwriter Al Matcott is bringing it all back to
Bob Dylan and his underrated (?) 1978 album 'Street Legal'. We talk
about how he found an emotional connection with the album around
his mother's passing, how it inspired him to seek out a tarot
reading, how the album bridges Dylan's confessional and Christian
periods, which song is like a 'seedy bar but Jesus is hanging out
there', speculate about Springsteen's influence on the album's
sound, the curse of 80s production, Al tries to get himself tarred
and feathered by the MFA audience, Dylan's influence on Ginuwine,
Dylan's rotating schticks, whether Dylan invented Americana music,
what Dylan's best riff is, pitch a sequel to Todd Haynes 'I'm Not
There' and speculate about James Mangold's upcoming Dylan film
starring Timothée Chalamet.
