It was available officially only as a cover by Italian singer Michel Montecrossa on his 2001 Mira Sound Germany album “4th Time Around”, for ordering details see . Also known as GOIN’ DOWN SOUTH.<br /><br />CALIFORNIA was officially released in Nov 2009 on the CBS US TV series soundtrack album “NCIS: The Official TV Series Soundtrack Vol. 2″, so is now no longer eligible for this directory.<br /><br />Clinton Heylin’s book ”Revolution In The Air – The Songs Of Bob Dylan Vol. 1: 1957-73″ (Constable, 2009) states CALIFORNIA is not in fact the same song as OUTLAW BLUES even though the two songs share some lyrics." -- Alan Fraser<br /><br />http://grooveshark.com/s/Outlaw+Blues/4cMKeq?src=5<br /><br />Outlaw Blues on Genuine Bootleg Series Vol 4: "Fourth Time Around" Disc 1:<br /><br />http://grooveshark.com/s/Outlaw+Blues/55p2Ez?src=5Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337868605521911655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-33641029705180698412014-02-07T04:48:24.884-08:002014-02-07T04:48:24.884-08:00Robert Ford was a young member of the American out...Robert Ford was a young member of the American outlaw Jesse James' gang. Ford shot James (also known as Thomas Howard) in the back while he was hanging a picture, using the revolver James had given him earlier. The reported motive behind the killing was the reward on James. Thanks to the famous "Ballad of Jesse James", Robert Ford has gone down in history as "that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard."<br /><br />Influenced by Robert Johnson's "When You Got A Good Friend" ("Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings") in which is sung "She's a brown-skinned woman/ Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be".<br /><br />Dylan uses the chord structure from "Memphis" (Chuck Berry).<br /><br />EDLIS Café <br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/groups/edlis.cafe/ <br /><br />http://www.edlis.org/cafeEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337868605521911655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-51503565795130355032009-07-13T05:50:29.386-07:002009-07-13T05:50:29.386-07:00I've always thought this song is a very reveal...I've always thought this song is a very revealing insight into the creation of the new electric Dylan persona. The tune is a famous one - Hi-Heel Sneakers, released the year before - but it's also really strong and great for dancing, so exactly the kind of thing the acoustic Dylan couldn't do. And the lines 'I might look like Robert Ford, but I feel just like Jesse James' are clever: James was the iconic outlaw and Ford was the man who betrayed him. Dylan's saying that with his band and electric guitar (as well as the dark sunglasses) he might look like a traitor, but he doesn't care because it feels so f***ing good. It's about his image as much as anything, and we all know how concerned Dylan is with that! Seriously underrated song!Ekulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-71834708644248712842008-11-12T08:31:00.000-08:002008-11-12T08:31:00.000-08:00Jesse James was an outlaw too.

I think, like most of the song, it's a non sequiter.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873429275364916940noreply@blogger.com
