Since watching No Direction Home I’ve been flooding my ears with Bob Dylan songs and various concerts. I could seriously listen to Bob and The Band play “Baby Let Me Follow You Down” on The Last Waltz a dozen times in a row and not get sick of it. Same with the Clancy Brothers singing “When The Ship Comes In”.
