S03.08 Jokerman w/Michael Gray
In 1984 Bob Dylan told Rolling Stone that Jokerman was 'very mystical', which may explain why many of us have been puzzling on the song for forty years. On this episode we dive into this well loved Dylan song with Michael Gray, who researched and wrote extensively about it in his book Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan.
This is the eleventh episode in our walk through The 50th Anniversary Series release - we're well into Volume 2, with this discussion covering material in Chapter 5. It's a huge chapter going deep on Infidels and Jokerman - and we only get to one verse and the chorus in this 45 minute discussion. You'll definitely want to grab the book and read the full chapter to get the full benefit of Michaels incredible work on this killer song.
