I wish I could have included Bob Dylan doing his knocked-out version of “Boogie Woogie Country Girl,” but the fine tribute album on which it appears, Till the Night is Gone, is not available on Spotify. (Be sure to check it out.) There’s no shortage of star power here, though, with Doc’s original inspiration,

Big Joe Turner, kicking things off in fine fashion with one of Doc’s most beautiful ballads, and Johnny Adams, another of Doc’s favorite singers (these are all Doc’s favorite singers), contributing three songs from his own magnificent tribute album while Elvis Presley, with “I Need Somebody to Lean On,” delivers one of the finest interpretive performances of his career. The star of the show, though, is always Doc, whose soulful side never fails to show through, no matter who is doing the singing. Start at the beginning and give yourself over to all the romantic, realistic, ironic, philosophical, and melancholy moods of Doc – and then start all over again
