In the interest of giving every viewpoint its due, here are this thoughts:<BR/><BR/>To take this song right back, try track 9 on the album Texas Worried Blues: the complete recorded works of Henry Thomas 1927-29.<BR/>'Ragtime Texas' Thomas is perhaps best known for his version of 'Fishing Blues' which can also be found as the very last track on the famous Anthology of American Folk Music. The Anthology also includes a second Thomas track 'Old Country Stomp'. Both were recorded June 13 1928.<BR/>Because Thomas was over 50 when these recordings were made, he provides almost the only recorded example of archaic 19th century Afro-American music still available.<BR/>Dylan has throughout his career always offered 'nods' to genuinely significant musicians and styles of yesteryear. Recall the well-known quotation :<BR/>" Dylan was the purest of the pure. He had to get the oldest record and, if possible, the Library of Congress record, or go find the original people who knew the original song" - Henry Abrams, student contemporary, quoted in No Direction Home [Robert Shelton]. <BR/>In my view, it is very unlikely that the inclusion of 'Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance' on Freewheelin' is 'just a chance'. It seems to me that Bob always knows exactly what he's doing where ancient songs are concerned.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613923038816299394noreply@blogger.com
