Re: [Harp-L] New Springsteen Recording




Well, the fates play interesting tricks. Al Kooper was in the studio when Dylan was recording "Like a Rolling Stone". He was asked if he could play the organ - being young, dumb and full of confidence, he said "Sure", when he really didn't know much about organ, but had a little keyboard influence. The result of his pedestrian noodling around became that signature organ riff that is totally identified with this tune.

Unfortunately everyone and his roadie has too much harmonica confidence.


If Al Kooper's organ part had sounded like the harmonica part on this Springsteen record, Like A Rolling Stone would not have had an organ part.
