"I've wondered, more than a few times over the years, if Bob
Dylan knows or cares that many here in his hometown of Duluth
take great pride in being from the same cold corner of the planet
from which he emerged. We've taken keen interest in his songs that
reference our town ("....walking the hills of old Duluth"), or our
region ("...where the winds hit heavy on the borderline"). We lit
up when he mentioned Duluth and our National Guard Armory in his
Grammy winning acceptance speech. We were excited when we learned
he was finally going to play his hometown in 1999. And we smiled
when on his second visit, midway thru his set, he fixed his steely
gaze up at the bluff overlooking the Bayfront Festival Park stage
and said "I was born on that hill up there. Glad to see it's still
there."
Much like the rock from which that hill is formed, Bob Dylan's
body of art (carved out over the last 45 years) has been a solid
touchstone for us to mark the days and the decades. It's with pride
that we keep his music in the air on radio, in "live" studio perform-
ances, and at concerts, clubs and bars. And as Bob Dylan turns 65
years (forever) young, it's with hometown pride that this record came
together: With artists from Duluth paying tribute to our favorite
native son and one of America's greatest living artists."
