Spanning decades and musical styles, this far-ranging one-hour program of short films and videos from the Bob Dylan Archive features rare and previously unreleased clips of Dylan on stage and in the studio. Selections include Dylan’s first film soundtrack for 1961’s “Autopsy on Operation Abolition;” a devastating solo rendition of “Ballad of Hollis Brown” from the 1963 TV special “Folk Songs and More Folk Songs;” a rollicking 1976 take on “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” with Joan Baez; a gospel-infused “Blowin’ in the Wind;” an apocalyptically rocking “When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky” with Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; loving tributes to Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett; a glimpse into the Archive’s film restoration project with never-before-seen footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” from 1966; and many more treasures from the Archive.

Courtney Yasmineh

Americana Singer Songwriter Courtney Anne Yasmineh takes her Chicago, NYC, North Woods of Minnesota heritage seriously and always pays homage to her favorite songwriter hero Bob Dylan when she plays concerts in America and Europe. Her first published novel tells her coming of age tale of the northern trail, as do her nine recorded albums (and counting, with a tenth slated for 2025) of a uniquely female brand of visceral songwriting and sincere vocal delivery.
