Sounds to me a lot like Leon Redbone. Pleasing boogie-woogie tempo, but I think the days of ol’ Bob making social commentary in his music are gone, don’t y’all?

Voice is pretty much shot too, but I’m a loyal fan. If I want the “old” Bob, I’ll put on **Highway 61 Revisited** and reminisce.

Saw Dylan in concert for the first time – this year. It was like Dylan on speed compared to the “old” stuff. But the concert was great!
