Sign on the Window isn't the Bob Dylan podcast you need, but it's definitely the one that you want! Each week we select a Dylan song at random, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. This week we dive into 1961's "Dink's Song"

In lieu of everything happening in the world, we've been super-sizing episodes and this is no different. In this episode, we discuss:

  • Initial Thoughts and Kelly plays the song for us (3:00)
  • Context (10:00)
  • "Dink's Song" — including versions from Josh White, Dave Van Ronk, Caroline Hester, Odetta, and Gabriel Rios (20:30)
  • Does this song work? (40:00)
  • Playlist — including asides on STP, Ru Paul, Vitimin C, and Caroline Hester (45:00)
  • Recommendations (1:10:30)
  • Endings (1:23:30)

As always, full show notes at our website. You can also follow along with our weekly real-time Spotify playlist – See That My Playlist is Kept Clean – or just listen to this episode's playlist and join the conversation on the usual suspects: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. And if you're loving us, consider our Patreon.
