*NEW VIDEO*
The Ramshackle Parade and I would like to share a music video we made last summer for our version of Bob Dylan’s classic “Blowin’ In The Wind”, captured by filmmaker Jordan Mattie. We had planned to release this video to help promote our “Just Like A Woman - Songs of Bob Dylan” spring/summer show dates - that have been postponed - but we decided to go ahead and release the video, given what is going on in the world, and the timeless message of this song, and also to CELEBRATE Bob Dylan’s 79th BIRTHDAY today
The video was filmed in various locations in, and around, the Saint John area in our beautiful province of New Brunswick, Canada.
BACKSTAGE PASS!
Behind the Songs and Making of Just Like A Woman - Songs of Bob Dylan:
Blowin’ in the Wind, from Dylan’s 1963 album “Free Wheelin’ Bob Dylan, is the first song my mom taught me to sing and play on guitar. When kids in Jr. High were lip-synching to the latest radio hits at school variety shows, I was singing ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ and strummin’ my guitar. Bill, Sandy and I recorded this song ‘live off the floor’ in one room, all instruments and voices in one live take (well, it took a lot of takes but you get the drift), then the bass was added afterwards. We wanted to get a live folk vibe for this tune.
Hope you enjoy!
