Bob Dylan Revives 'Theme Time Radio Hour'

One of the few positive things to come out of this pandemic is the return of Bob Dylan: not only was his evocative opus ‘Murder Most Foul’ a musical chronology capsulizing our current state of malaise that touched a long dormant common chord,  as he has done so many times in the past; but now Dylan has returned to rare form by reprising his ‘Theme Time Radio Hour’.

Apparently being off the road has a been a good thing for Dylan, who recently returned with his latest production of Theme Time Radio Hour , which this times focuses on the topic of ‘Whiskey’.

Back on May 3, 2006, satellite radio listeners first tuned in to the sultry growl of a living legend who took them on a thematic journey through musical history.  Theme Time Radio Hour, hosted by Bob Dylan, included both the most well-known and ultra-rare musical testimonies to the assorted concepts to form a thematic narrative through our collective consciousness. 

Covering topics from smoking to presidents, Bob served as curator, educator, philosopher and comedian in our journey through his vast collection of recordings, including some secret gems that had been all-but-lost to us.

Theme Time Radio Hour‘s final episode aired on April 15, 2009, and though the program enjoyed a lengthy lifespan on satellite radio in the form of repeats, it was eventually dropped from the digital airwaves.  It was briefly available to satellite subscribers online for a couple of years, but was finally entirely abandoned in 2013.

With this latest and newest installment, Dylan’s return is introduced by the inspired set-up of Jazz Princess Diana Krall.  True to form, Dylan proves hands-down he is one of the most knowledgeable people on American Roots music, literature, and culture - proving once again that he is a professor of Americana.

A few of my favorite Dylan reflections from this latest installment include the following:

“I mean, does anybody even still have a radio? Some folks might even be listening on a smart toaster."

“One of the best things about a nice stiff drink it its ability to be the perfect companion for a solitary evening of melancholy rumination.”

“You gotta enjoy a song with hand claps as good as these.”
