10. The Lonesome death of Hattie Carroll
Auch ein Track, der hier bisher nicht so recht zum Zug kommt.
Martin Carthy hat für sein 98er-Album „Signs of Life“ ein Cover des Songs aufgenommen.
Der Track war dann auch auf der 2001er-Compilation „The Carthy Chronicles“ enthalten.
In den Liner Notes schreibt Martin Carthy:
„… It was around that time that Bob Dylan first appeared on the London club scene. When he returned in 1964, he did a couple of TV gigs and a concert at the Royal Festival Hall, which is etched in fire on the memories of all who were there. He, quite simply and very quietly, tore the place apart. During the evening he sang „The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll“ and set the place alight. It was proof, if there were needed, of the power of narrative song in the hands of a real master. I don’t believe that he has lost any of his power in the intervening years, as a singer or as a writer, and he remains by far the bravest of the lot, prepared to risk everything, including — and maybe especially — his reputation.“
