16 minutes to go.

It's only 25 minutes long.

I wonder if the body count'll be has high on it as it is on Return of the Wayfaring Stranger?

Is Borkley about tonight I wonder?

Every song on that one is practically an act of genocide.

I can't believe he can be out for three nights running. It would be madness.

It's started!

Track 1 - Turtle Dove.

Hissy intro.

Stripped-down and acoustic.

Burl invents Lo-Fi.

I think someone's died in it already.

Oh. No. He might be saying goodbye to someone who's still alive.

Mournful.

Obviously a precursor of the Pete Seegers and John Faheys of this world.

"The crow that's black, my little turtle dove."

This is who Bob Dylan could've been if he'd played his cards right.

Track 2 - The Devil's Nine Questions.

This was originally released as a quadruple 10" shellac set.

I have no idea what this song's about.

"And I am the weaver's body."
