Tonight, a guy who could probably commiserate with Jakob Dylan
Washington County - Arlo Guthrie (1970)
Arlo was the son of Dylan's idol and another one of the New Dylans who appeared in the wake of Dylan's initial success. Guthrie hit it big with his debut record Alice's Restaurant and went on to have some radio hits in the late 60s and early 70s. After making his d2 saving throw on Huntington's Disease, he's gone on to have a long career and is touring as we speak at age 72.
In a word, Washington County is a likeable album. Arlo's reedy voice is pleasant and his original songs are melodic and witty. He's backed by a crack group of West Coast country rock musicians including members of the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers and Little Feat. Arlo's try at a gospel song isn't very good but the rest of the album is solid. One of the songs mentions Spiro Agnew which is about as 1970 as you can get.
I have to apologize to Arlo for tonight's song selection Lay Down Little Doggies. He has a 50 year career and I pick a song by his ####ing dad. I guess that's one reason why Jakob Dylan has never covered any of his father's songs. I know Woody's song is really about dogies, not doggies but Bosley can't spell.
Boz had an eventful day. He went missing and we ended up searching for about ten minutes before finding him stuck under a chair. After dinner, he vomited, slipped and fell into it. Needless to say, it became bath night which is always a treat.
