<p>Guardian/Observer staff photographer <a href="https://sarahmlee.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sarah Lee</a> first watched Dont Look Back whilst perched on a crowded bed in a Camden flat with a struggling rock combo called Coldplay. As she’s now a <a href="https://sarahmlee.com/behind-the-curtain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BAFTA</a> photographer, Sarah checks plenty of other names in this episode, including <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/may/09/double-agents-007-elba-and-hiddleston-bond-at-the-baftas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston</a>, <a href="https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/austin-butler-and-cate-blanchett-during-the-ee-bafta-film-news-photo/1467946062" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Austin Butler and Cate Blanchett</a>. On celebrity photography: “I like having no control. I like pressure. I’m always terrified”. On Dylan album cover photography: “He knows why it works.

<p><a href="https://rslaman.wixsite.com/website" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rebecca Slaman</a>, writer and social media guru, is a fan of Bob Dylan’s “perfect random meme humour.” Twitter? “Girls lust after him! But I’ve seen some pretty egregious stuff. Old people don’t understand the platform.” Dylan’s 1987 film <a href="https://twitter.com/ithrewtheglass/status/1298047437295124480?s=20&t=ru4kGfnO1Q9EJnXdUvifzg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hearts of Fire</a>? “He cannot act. How can he not act? He’s been acting his whole life. So bad - but so entertaining!” Songs like My Own Version of You? “They clue us into his mind palace. He radiates this energy.” We know you’ll enjoy this energetic episode from a born-again Dylan obsessive.</p><p>Rebecca Slaman is a New York City-based writer. She graduated from Fordham University Lincoln Center in 2020 with a BA in English and Classics and has spoken at Bob Dylan conferences in Tulsa and Miami.

<p>In the 61st year of her singing career, five-time Grammy nominee <a href="http://www.bettyelavette.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bettye LaVette</a> warns us that our chat will be “straight, no chaser”. And she lives up to that promise. Bettye describes her surprise backstage meeting with Bob Dylan: “He kissed me on the mouth. It was no big deal. I’ve kissed Otis Redding and David Ruffin”. Working with Keith Richards on her <a href="https://music.apple.com/gb/album/things-have-changed/1440917483" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Things Have Changed</a> album of Dylan songs was more fun: “We were instant friends” (other friends/fans include Jon Bon Jovi, Pete Townshend and Margo Price). She recalls the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJi6maTueSc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kennedy Center Honors</a> where she stopped the show in front of Streisand, Aretha and Beyoncé, the <a href="https://youtu.be/rBLKUnOnzLU?t=169" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jazz Café gig where she threw out an arguing couple</a> (“You can’t come starting no fight in the middle of my show!”) and why she loves working with her own band (“I’d rather be bit in the ass by a snaggletoothed mule than go to rehearsal”). The problem with Dylan’s Emotionally Yours versus her version? (“He was trying to say I love you. But he couldn’t. It was too simple”). Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Miss Bettye LaVette…</p><p>Bettye LaVette made her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDPXOoStt9I" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first record</a> in 1962 at the age of sixteen. Her eclectic musical style combines elements of soul, blues, rock and roll, funk, gospel and country music. Despite recording singles and albums, touring in a Broadway musical and being a mainstay of the Northern Soul phenomenon in the UK, she didn’t begin to break through until 2003, with the release of her album A Woman Like Me (at the age of 57). Her <a href="https://smile.amazon.co.uk/s?k=bettye+lavette&crid=2OSUUKUZ3THHM&sprefix=bettye+lavette%2Caps%2C117&ref=nb_sb_noss_1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">albums</a> The Scene of the Crime, Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, Worthy, the Bob Dylan project Things Have Changed (which Greil Marcus named Best Album of 2018) and Blackbirds were subsequently nominated for Grammy Awards. She has been a guest on countless television programmes including Letterman and Later... with Jools Holland. In 2020, Bettye was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. Her new album <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/LaVette-Bettye/dp/B0BXHKR19J/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1681213252&refinements=p_32%3ABettye+LaVette&s=music&sr=1-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LaVette!</a> is out on 16th June.</p><br><p><a href="http://www.bettyelavette.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/BettyeLaVette" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phc-zOo3eqA&list=PLs7QaQ865qkopyF1GyG14LFPxMZJulA1y&index=77" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6yKSBal7Gd9KauvUhtg55Y?si=7492e911458e4f0e&pt=b5bb96ce91185d9037d15980462a2af0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode playlist on Spotify</a></p><p>Listeners: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/is-it-rolling-bob-talking-dylan/id1437321669" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">please subscribe and/or leave a review and a rating.</a></p><p>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/isitrollingpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@isitrollingpod</a></p><p>Recorded 17th January 2023</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
