Camera Obscura: “Lloyd, I’m Ready to be Heartbroken” (2006)
Glasgow’s Camera Obscura revives sounds of 60’s pop to delightful effect, similarly to The School (Songs You May Have Missed #79, Recommended Albums #20) but with less of a lean toward bubblegum girl group sounds and more of the orchestral country pop flavor of Connie Francis and Skeeter Davis. Tracyanne Campbell’s delivery, with just a touch of a Scottish accent, is definitely part of the quirky appeal.
Another example of indie pop plundering the pop gold of past decades and melting it down to make pretty new things.

PBS History Detectives: Dylan’s Newport Folk Festival Guitar?

Everything changed the moment Dylan went electric at Newport. Dylan’s own music, folk music, rock ‘n’ roll — they all moved in new directions. And the guitar at the center of the controversy, it went silent for almost five decades … until now.
The PBS program History Detectives aired an episode that tried to determine whether Dylan’s electric axe may have wound up in the hands of Dawn Peterson, the daughter of a pilot who flew planes boarded by Dylan and other folk musicians. The forensic evidence suggests that it’s the real deal. But Dylan, through his lawyers, insists that he’s still in possession of the history-making guitar. It’s another layer of controversy that began 47 years ago.

Robbie Fulks does a moderately amazing Jerry Reed impersonation on a song Jerry would have been proud to have written.
