    Ferdinand The Imposter with Luke C. Bowden
    Mar 24 2024
    A new episode of "A Song With," where I chat with guests about their chosen tracks from The Band and the stories woven within them. There are no constraints; it could be a passionate case for why a song reigns supreme in The Band's repertoire, a personal narrative or bond, or simply revelling in the joy of listening. In this episode, Luke C. Bowden joins me. He is a music journalist, academic, and concert promoter. Luke's pick is "Ferdinand The Imposter," an outtake from the Music From Big Pink era. We delve into the various song versions, the musical and lyrical songwriting, and much more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cannot wait for each new episode

I am a new fan of The Band and also of this podcast. Great mix of music clips from The Band as well as interesting discussions about each member. Also extremely relaxing to listen to.
