We’d just sit and play rummy all night and drink and make dinner for each other and keep turning this over As a kid, I think I got into the Best Of 1 and 2 and then started to dig into more of his stuff, but The Basement Tapes record was really the thing that stuck out for me. “At first, I used to dig through records of my dad’s after he’d passed away, and I found Bob Dylan and other things. “I think the first introduction I had to this record was actually a bootleg that my friend’s mom had, who was also the same woman who introduced me to Leonard Cohen, so I owe her a lot, really! “My second choice is The Basement Tapes, but not the extended version - the original Bob Dylan and The Band’s Basement Tapes.
