Join host Ward Serrill on KPTZ.org in Port Townsend, Wash., every Friday afternoon at 1 pm for Wordsongs, where where the words matter.

At 1:45 CoyoteMan from Buzzards Bay, Mass. joins to talk all things Dylan with their feature, "Rhymes with Bob."
Last Friday on 'Wordsongs,' Wassy and Coyote spent a few minutes marveling at the cinema-of-the-mind greatness of Dylan's 'Isis'--or as Coyote calls it, 'Is-Is,' or host WAS in the present tense. youtu.be/INilAY6aJTc

Last week on 'Rhymes with Bob,' the duet of WAS and Coyote looked at the writing partnership of Dylan and Robert Hunter. Here's one of their best collaborations, covered by the amazing Benmont Tench of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers. 'Duquesne Whistle.' youtu.be/RBEFwfYNSuU

Last week on 'Rhymes with Bob,' Wassy and Coyote tried to 'find out something only dead men know' by disinterring the Bob Dylan/Robert Hunter composition 'Silvio.' Although Hunter is best known partnering with Jerry Garcia, he wrote a bunch with Bob. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnqS...

Yesterday on "Rhymes with Bob," Wassy and Coyote parked themselves around the campfire to enjoy the Dylan folk anthem "When the Ship Comes In." WAS had been spinning Irish songs on Wordsongs, and as this tune has been covered by many Irish artists, it seemed appropriate. youtu.be/5c9_XkYYjTU

Here it is Thursday and we have yet to post last Friday's 'Rhymes with Bob' selection: Moonlight, from the Love and Theft LP. This tune is a real throwback, Dylan's attempt at writing a standard, one that would have sounded good on an old laquered 78 rpm record. Enjoy! youtu.be/ljHCi1W_EjQ

You may ask yourself, what if Bob Dylan had decided to be a pop star? Then he'd be Rod Stewart. On last week's 'Rhymes with Bob' we covered Dylan's 'Forever Young'; in the '80s Rod 'borrowed' it to create his own version. Dylan got a writing credit, so all was good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGzn...

On Friday 'Rhymes with Bob' sat on the sand and 'watched the river flow.' This Leon Russell-produced gem also features Jesse Ed Davis on guitar. A bouncy blues shuffle about a man who is torn between the pastoral and the urban, where 'people disagreeing everything' www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xRl...

Johnny Cash had a smash album that resuscitated his career, "Live from Folsom Prison." For his follow-up he went to San Quentin and debuted a song he wrote with Bob Dylan the week before, Wanted Man. The band barely knew the arrangement, but pulled it off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8jF...
