He makes the revelations as a part of a brand new and uncommon interview with Jeff Slate for the Wall Street Journal,\u00a0<\/em>additionally featured on Dylan\u2019s web site.<\/p>\n \u201cI listen to CDs, satellite radio and streaming,\u201d says Dylan. \u201cI do love the sound of old vinyl though, especially on a tube record player from back in the day.\u201d He provides of his latest listening: \u201cI stroll into issues intuitively once I\u2019m almost certainly not in search of something. Tiny Hill, Teddy Edwards, individuals like that. Obscure artists, obscure songs. There\u2019s a track by Jimmy Webb that Frank Sinatra recorded referred to as, \u2018Whatever Happened to Christmas,\u2019 I feel he recorded it within the 60s, however I simply found it.<\/p>\n \u201cElla Fitzgerald\u2019s \u2018A-Tiskit, A-Tasket.\u2019 Janice Martin, the female Elvis<\/strong><\/a>. Have you heard her? Joe Turner is always surprising me with little nuances and things. I listen to Brenda Lee a lot. No matter how many times I hear her, it\u2019s like I just discovered her. She\u2019s such an old soul. Lately, I discovered a fantastic guitar player, Teddy Bunn. I heard him on a Meade Lux Lewis \u2013 Sid Catlett record.\u201d<\/p>\n Dylan reveals eclectic style in his alternative of artists outdated and new. \u201cPerformers and songwriters recommend things to me,\u201d he says. \u201cOthers I just wake up and they\u2019re there. Some I\u2019ve seen live. The Oasis Brothers, I like them both, Julian Casablancas, the Klaxons, Grace Potter. I\u2019ve seen Metallica twice. I\u2019ve made special efforts to see Jack White and Alex Turner. Zac Deputy, I\u2019ve discovered him lately. He\u2019s a one man show like Ed Sheeran, but he sits down when he plays. I\u2019m a fan of Royal Blood, Celeste, Rag and Bone Man, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, anybody with a feeling for words and language, anybody whose vision parallels mine.\u201d<\/p>\n Other alternatives by the nice bard embrace gems from the Nineteen Sixties and 70s, one by the previous Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong><\/a> bassist, and a classical discovery. \u201c\u2018Waterloo Sunset\u2019 [by the Kinks<\/strong><\/a>] is on my playlist and that was recorded in the 60s. \u2018[The] Stealer,\u2019 the Free song, that\u2019s been there a while too, along with Leadbelly and the Carter Family. There\u2019s a Duff McKagan song called \u2018Chip Away,\u2019 that has profound meaning for me. It\u2019s a graphic song\u2026Dvorak, \u2018Moravian Duets.\u2019 I just discovered that, but it\u2019s over 100 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n
