Recorded WAY back in March, in a late-night session: Michael Hurley’s “Be Kind To Me” is a shaggy, shambling folk tune that fits in well with our tradition of playing “party in the studio” songs (1:59). It’s also the first song we’ve played with a mouth trumpet solo! We really get into the Dylan-y elements of the song, which is why it’s in our “It Ain’t Me, Bob” series. Don’t worry, we’re still a rock’n’roll podcast – so we play the original version of the song, a barrelhouse R&B stomper by the one and only Smiley Lewis, titled “Come On” (34:13) It’s a wide-ranging discussion, and there's even room for a third version by The Vanity Plates (1:17:12).
