Bob Dylan - The Radio Songs 1961- 63 Vol. 2 stewART Compilation 2006 - 1 CD - 68m 13s A collection of all the songs from Dylan's early radio appearances but without the interviews and most of the introductions, etc - a few parts of talk over actual song intros and some other very small sections of dialogue have been retained, but essentially the music is presented alone ! Below are the radio show details if you want to track down the unedited versions. Bonus tracks are from The March on Washington DC and a great version of 'Hollis Brown' from a March 1963 TV broadcast. Following the Studs Terkel radio show of May 1963, all future Dylan live broadcast performances were only to be on television.

Bob Dylan - "Thanks for inviting me and I also wanna take the opportunity to express my feelings. Thank you for myself and all my friends who where at your house the other night." Studs Terkel In the mid-1930s, Terkel began producing radio programs and ads, hosting his first show called the "Wax Museum" in 1944. Here, he was able to play his favorite recordings of folk music, opera, jazz, and the blues. Shortly after, he hosted his own television show, Studs' Place, which was the genesis for his later work as an interviewer. From 1952 to 1997, The Studs Terkel Program was broadcast daily on WFMT in Chicago. Terkel's program featured interviews and group discussions with celebrated and non-celebrated people in the arts, music, literature, and political life. Terkel was born in May 1912, the same year that the Titanic sank. He is often quoted as saying: "The year the Titanic went down, I came up." He was born in New York to a tailor, Sam, and a seamstress, Anna. They relocated to Chicago eight years later and settled on Chicago's Near North Side. Here his parents ran a boarding house and met a diversity of people who would have a formative influence on him. He took on the name "Studs" at this time, which was adopted from the title character of James Farrell's Studs Lonigan. Interviews on Folk Music - Studs Terkel's interest in music has been evident since his earliest radio programs. WFMT allowed him the freedom to choose his own material, and significant portions of his programs were devoted to exploring various types of music through interviews with musicians, singers, songwriters, and musicologists. Folk music was one of his favorite topics. The Old Town School of Folk Music was founded in Chicago in 1957, a few years after Terkel began his radio program. Terkel's involvement with this popular Chicago institution brought him in contact with many local folk musicians who he later interviewed on his program. He was able to interview several other prominent guests, such as Joan Baez, while they were in Chicago for a performance. This selection of folk music programs includes American folk musicians from around the country. The interviews below include early proponents of folk music: John Jacob Niles, who began performing in the early decades of the 20th century; popular 1940s concert performer Richard Dyer-Bennett; original Grand Ole Opry member Jimmy Driftwood; and Win Stracke, founder of the Old Town School of Folk Music. Notable among the selections offered is a two-hour interview with folklorist Alan Lomax who scoured Europe for samples of original folk music for the Library of Congress. The selection also includes performers who popularized folk music in the 1960s, such as Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Pete Seeger. The recorded conversations range from discussing the relationship of folk music to antecedent songs in Europe and elsewhere to the meanings of folk songs and their relevance to the current social and political environment. A major theme throughout these interviews is the strong calling that this type of music had for the guests and their undeniable passion for the preservation and performance of traditional music.
