Re: Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story

I wonder if the jam session Lightfoot had with Dylan was filmed and then just not used in the movie? All I've ever seen are still photographs of that.

Re: Cold On My Shoulder album cover

The album title is COLD ON THE SHOULDER. I still have my original (but worn) LP I purchased in 1975. Always liked the cut Now and Then.
