    Lay Lady Lay has one of the most haunting productions of all time. Such character.

    Great to see an actual interview with Kenny Buttrey, who was such a wonderful drummer on so many great recordings. I do not recall ever seeing another interview with him before. It's also hard to find him on video, as he is usually in the background. I fell in love with Kenny's playing when I bought "John Wesley Harding" by Bob Dylan when it first came out. His drumming is nothing less than fantastic! I was a teenager learning to play bass, and that record taught me so much about being in a rhythm section. To this very day, for me that album is Dylan's masterpiece. It's so simple and yet so perfect. Kenny's drumming and Charlie McCoy's bass playing are the perfect rhythm section on all of those classic tunes. I still listen to it with as much appreciation as I ever did. In addition there is "Blonde on Blonde" and "Nashville Skyline" and all the Area Code 615 records, and his work with Neil Young and many other great names. Kenny Buttrey was truly one of the greatest drummers ever.

    I have always loved that song. Maybe my favorite of Dylan's. It has such a great sound and this video just revealed three of the sounds/reasons that make it so for me...cowbell, bongo and steel guitar. Awesome.

    *At the time it came out I remember Bob Dylan saying that the recording of 'Lay Lady Lay' was the first song that sounded as close as it did to how he originally heard it in his mind.*

    I always thought those were pots and pans LOL- the way they tweaked the EQ on the 'bongos' makes it sound exotic. I would guess they did a 2nd take for him at the drum kit. Very tasty but 'eased back' licks on the drums and the Bongo / Cow bell pattern is not an easy pattern. Thanks for the insight!!!

    • @robertm2000
      @robertm2000 4 года назад +2

      Charlie McCoy in his segment in this video says that Kenny Buttrey played the drum set AND some of the auxiliary percussion at once. I don't doubt that because Kenny Buttrey is a fabulous drummer.

      Hi Dan... Just go to Musicians Hall Of Fame “Backstage “ Vault Series. It’s Bob Dylan The Nashville Sessions. Kenny’s clip about Dylan was very short. His widow actually made the interview with him years ago and shared it with me for the museum to use. The other clips I shot about 15 years ago except Pete Drake. That was a tv interview from the 80’s. Hope you find it and enjoy it. Best, Joe
