"Boom Boom" is a song written by American blues singer and guitarist John Lee Hooker and recorded in 1961. Although it became a blues standard,[2] music critic Charles Shaar Murray calls it "the greatest pop song he ever wrote".[ "Boom Boom" was both an American R&B and pop chart success in 1962 and a UK top-twenty hit in 1992.
Dylan has performed "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" live on several of his tours. Since its initial appearance on Bringing It All Back Home, live versions of the song have been released on a number of Dylan's albums, including Bob Dylan at Budokan, MTV Unplugged (European versions), and The Bootleg Series Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975, The Rolling Thunder Revue, as well as on the reissued Concert for Bangladesh album by George Harrison & Friends. Live video performances have been included on the Concert for Bangladesh and Other Side of the Mirror: Live at Newport Folk Festival 1963–1965

Heavy Load Blues is branded as Gov’t Mule’s first-ever “blues” album, with Friday’s Junior Wells cover supporting that branding. The album’s lead single, the Warren Haynes-penned “Heavy Load“, went heavier on the traditional blues angle with a stripped-down acoustic approach. On “Snatch It Back And Hold It”, however, Mule plugs in and cranks it up for a more modern blues tribute.
"Ambulance Blues" is the final song on Young's fifth album, On The Beach.
At just under nine minutes long, it was never going to get a lot of
radio play, and its conversational feel makes it an unlikely choice for
jukeboxes or party playlists. Still, it's counted among Young's greatest
artistic achievements. Johnny Rogan in The Complete Guide to the Music of Neil Young
goes so far as to call it the "summit of Young's achievement as a
singer songwriter... the most likely candidate as his greatest and most
memorable composition."(Songfacts)

Ik kende Daniel Lanois natuurlijk als producer van de albums van Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson e.a.Zag hem ook eerder met Emmylou Harris in Antwerpen,maar met zijn solowerk was ik minder bekend.Was dan ook aangenaam verrast door zijn optreden tijdens Jazz Gent,voorafgaand aan dat Van Morrison.Ook verassend Trixie Whitley op drums en zang.Prachtig optreden!
Deze opname is van een paar dagen eerder op het NSJ Festival in Rotterdam

"Only a Pawn in Their Game" is a song written by Bob Dylan about the assassination of civil rights activist Medgar Evers in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 12, 1963. Showing support for African-Americans during the American Civil Rights Movement, the song was released on Dylan's The Times They Are a-Changin' album in 1964.
A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers’ blood
A finger fired the trigger to his name
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man’s brain
But he can’t be blamed
He’s only a pawn in their game
A South politician preaches to the poor white man
“You got more than the blacks, don’t complain
You’re better than them, you been born with white skin,” they explain.
And the Negro’s name
Is used it is plain
For the politician’s gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool
He’s taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
’Bout the shape that he’s in
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game
From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks
And the hoofbeats pound in his brain
And he’s taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide ’neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain’t got no name
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught
They lowered him down as a king
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He’ll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game
Medgar Wiley Evers (July 2, 1925 – June 12, 1963) was an American civil rights activist and the NAACP's first field secretary in Mississippi who was assassinated by a white supremacist. Evers, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran who had served in World War II, was engaged in efforts to overturn segregation at the University of Mississippi, end the segregation of public facilities, and expand opportunities for African Americans including the enforcement of voting rights.
