        Interesting shake up on Dylan’s tour as roots and jazz phenom Joel Paterson out of Chicago got tapped to go on tour with him:

        If you guys and gals haven’t heard of Joel, do yourself a favor and look him up. He’s got a couple of albums of Beatles fingerpicking arrangements, two great Christmas albums, and some other great recordings with Annie Dolan, and under his own name. He’s one of those “any song any key right now” type musicians. I’ve had the joy of seeing him live several times the past couple of years and he just does wonderful things on the instrument.

          Good for Joel What a great article and story. Sounds like he will fit right in with Dylan and continue his trajectory upward. I love stories like this. Thanks for sharing.

            Great story, Bill. Joel’s finger style picking is amazing.
