Otis-did the Columbia studio people mention that while Dylan was recording Nashville Skyline, on the other side of the sliding wall Tammy Wynette and Billy Sherrill were at work on “ Stand by Your Man”?
@@otisgibbs I know I Have a great uncle still alive who has a 4 string Acoustic guitar middle strings missing design, A Washburn is what I think the models is. It is a rare instrument becuse it was not popular, so a bunch of the models got refitted by the company letting places return the model for a small minimal fee of retrofitting of either into a 4 string Banjo guitar putting on the proper tuners bridge and nut or if they could do the real fix, a 6 string guitar and many were bought with the plans to do the Banjo fix to the instrument. He plays the guitar with a flat picking/finger style using a banjo thumb pick.
Are you sure about that, all the info I could find says that Stand By Your Man was recorded and released in 1968 and the Nashville Skyline sessions were in February 1969.
Good morning Otis. Yes, enjoying my morning coffee listening to ‘Dylan lore’. We saw the new Dylan movie the other night. Now I’m going through another Dylan jones. I’m singing and playing a lot of his music from that particular era. Playing a lot on my old Fender 12 -string I’ve had since 1985 which still sounds and plays great. Cheers
Otis that is so great that ya used your grandfather’s amp on your record. Think of the mojo in that amp. When you did the Bonnie Koloc piece I was thinking about when I took classes at Old Town School of Folk Music. There was this woman who was using the guitar that her Dad used to woo her Mom back in the day. I said the same to her…think of the great mojo in that guitar. Love ya brother!
Good morning Otis coffee is great this morning I hope your doing great I wish you all a wonderful Merry Christmas and Gods blessings to you all and your family Otis
Enjoying my coffee and really excited to hear the new album and the’68 deluxe. “Working For A Living” sounds like a good title. Thank you Otis. Wishing you a blessed return of the light to you and Amy.
Can't wait to hear the new record, that backstory with the studio, Dylan, and your Grandfather's amp is really awesome. Happy Holidays, Otis and everyone here!
I got my tickets to see that movie...on the 26th...I am pretty sure I will enjoy it. I am from Minnesota and last summer I toured Bob's boyhood home in Hibbing which is maintained and owned by Bill Pagel. Bill is one of the foremost collectors of Dylan memorabilia in the world. I also toured the Hibbing High School which was built in 1924 by the mining company. If your ever up on the Iron Range this might make a pretty great episode?? just a thought...Merry Christmas Otis and Amy!
Thank you for sharing your stories with us all. I got cold chills from you talking about using your grandpa’s amp. I love sentiment things. Much love to you and your family Otis.
So I drove down and back to Bristol for a show last night and I had never heard Bristol referred to as the birthplace of country music but they're very proud of that. I can't remember you doing any videos about Bristol but I have to imagine that there's some stories there
Blonde and Blonde was recorded in Nashville and New York City and produced by Bob Johnston. The stereo mix was done in Los Angeles. Bob Dylan spoke with approval about a film about himself, ‘I'm Not There’. I have watched it more than once and liked it. Old recording studios that are not parking lots should be museums. My Fender Deluxe amp cost $200 last century. ‘The Times They are a Changing’. Thanks for the visit and update.
Thanks for a great year of history, musings and stories, Otis. About Blonde on Blonde, one of my fondest memories from college was in 1980, my 21st birthday, and my friends knowing that I really dig Bob Dylan gifted me a copy of the Blonde on Blonde album. It was so thoughtful and certainly much appreciated. I look forward to keeping in touch with your work in the coming year. Peace and love to you. Thank you!
Congratulations Otis! I'm really happy for u and all that you've been doing. You're a hard worker and you're getting to do a lot of really cool things. Congratulations, brother💥✊🏽
They turned many of the businesses in Jersey City and Hoboken into iconic Greenwich Village landmarks. I work nearby and stopped to check it out but filming was over. The person taking apart the produce store gave me a bunch of apples. I’m just glad Wonder Bagels is back !
It is a beautiful sunny crisp morning in Indy great for coffee and a chat. It is exciting to hear Otis has a new record coming out. The back story to the recording is just the best. Peace, love and good karma to all.
Thanks, Otis. Wishing you and yours a happy holidays. It's been wonderful seeing your weekly videos. Sorry I can't financially contribute to your cause, but when your album arrives, I will get a copy. Be well, sir.
Good Luck with your new album Otis, I can't wait to hear it! My wife and I stream all the music biopics at home, and then have a good time discussing our memories of the artists and songs. We have very different memories of those times, having grown up in different parts of the country.
New York City at the time Dylan hit town, well... from WWII to the 1980s, is my favorite period in the life of that city. So beyond being a huge fan, and having read everything about Dylan and even everything by Dylan, I'm looking forward to seeing this film!
It is very cool that you were able to use that studio. I am excited to hear what you have done with those 80 year old microphones and your grandfather's amp.
I think the thing about movie biopics is, if you know the artist's story really well and are a big fan, any artistic license the director makes can irk me somewhat but i found after a while, as long as the main story of who they are portraying comes out then I'm ok with it. There's a few changes they make to this part of Dylan's life apparently but it's more that the event is in there that I think matters. Happy Christmas Otis, Amy and all your animals 🙂
Nice that you got to record in such an amazing and historic studio… a little karma in the atmosphere… enjoy the amp … glad your cousin decided to give it to you… Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄 have a peaceful Day 🕊️🎄🕊️🎄🕊️
i also have mixed feelings about seeing the Dylan movie. On another note, listened to the Joe Bussard interview. I bought his Fonotone music collection probably 25 years ago. It not only came with 5 cd's of great old music (much of it recorded in his basement and pressed on his vintage equipment), but came packaged in a cigar box with a personal thank you note, a collection of post cards with pictures of Joe and his musical cohorts including John Fahey (Blind Thomas), a business card/post card with his cb radio # and story on the back and a Fonotone bottle opener! He was one of a kind and thank you for all your great interviews. Merry Christmas
Happy Saturday, Otis! I bought Elijah's book after seeing your video on Dylan. I may go see the movie. Haven't decided just yet. Love the history involved in your upcoming album. My grandad played accordian, harmonica, and some fiddle at the local dances and mining camps in Idaho. Im not sure where those instruments ended up. I do have the autoharp that i need to get restored and restrung. Someday. Looking forward to hearing your new album and new songs. Be good to you 🙏🏻🤍
Thanks Otis. Somewhere in the photo albums is are a couple photos, one of my friend, along with one of myself, standing out front of Columbia Studio back in 1980. We had driven up from Miami, and were visiting one of our buddy's in Sewanee, TN at the time. I believe we ate lunch at the laughing man restaurant - now extinct. Happy Holidays everybody!

Yes, your Grandpa would be stoked that his amp gave life to sound in that studio but he would be tremendously proud that the life from within him, passed through you and your hands and your voice, filled that room with emotions and creativity. Please continue to swim against the stream of life, floating only takes you where everyone else goes. Hm, I will use that in my next song. Thanks for the inspiration, as always, Otis.
I'd much rather just listen to the book on Audible. I'm not much on the movies either but this channel turns me onto so many books and so much music. It's honestly gotten to the point that Otis Gibbs is my entertainment director.
Word is that Dylan worked with and gave notes to the actor who portrays him in this movie. My wife and I will probably go see it. Dylan was a big influence in my Boomer life. But if I am honest it was Simon and Garfunkel who got me through adolessence! I also grew into a Deadhead later in life. Would you, if possible, do some stuff on Phil Lesh who just passed.
All music biopics are Walk Hard with different costumes -- with one exception: 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould made me feel like I had a personal friendship with the dude and I barely knew who he was before seeing it.
I think Bob liked "Dylan What Happened" by Paul Williams. It was about Bob's born again phase. I think Paul Williams wrote that Bob even purchased copies for friends. I enjoy your channel. Thanks. Jim
Good morning-coffee in hand & still givin a damn! Yeah,gonna see the Dylan flick on Xmas w/ the In-Laws & the kids. Probably gonna be goofy & disappointing,but hey,@ least it’s w/ family. Much love & Best of the Season to you & yours Brother,lookin forward to new release
I had no idea about that Columbia Studio. I thought it might have been that studio in East Nashville by Five Points that Buddy Miller and Robert Plant were recording at. Nobody knows the war between Columbia and RCA back when, from format and record speeds to the actual studios. The Byrds when they wrote Eight Miles High couldn't get into Columbia Studio in LA so they recorded it at RCA studio. But, Columbia wouldn't release it. They made them re record at Columbia and they released that. They actually released the first RCA studio version on Record Store Day a few years ago and I have that too on vinyl. It's more raw and experimental vibe.
“… that studio in East Nashville by Five Points” Are you referring to Westwood Sound Studio that is currently owned by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch? The same studio where The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and all their special guests recorded Will the Circle Be Unbroken.
Bob blurbed Larry Solamom's Book on the Rolling Thunder Review book, calling it the war and peace of rock and roll and he also blurbed Levon Helm's book Wheel on Fire, which has Dylan scenes in it.and for some reason I remember a blurb on the Anthony Scaduto book. but it is rare. Cheers.
i figure if i go into these biopics with low expectations and think of it as a play then it could be fun. just imagine you are a teenager going to see a movie and you don't know about woody guthrie laying there in bed, etc...just some old guy that the main character is singing to. do you like the song? when you've made up your mind before hand that you don't like something then it's definitely not going to be easy! anyway, i'm going on xmas day with a 14 year old who likes timmy chai. i was also shocked and kind of not sure what to make of bob tweeting about the movie and the book. times are definitely changing when that happens. i like that young audiences will get in touch with political bob or political Suze and Joan right in time for what is happening now. that's my take. glad you made a new album. very happy about that. TE
Yeah Otis, I feel the same about biopics…couldn’t get through the Elvis movie even though I’m a massive fan…I feel happy when they get made, and released because I’m happy that people still give a crap about great artists, and it helps spread the news to young people, but the only one I ever liked was the Chet Baker one.
Thanks brother. Im not sureabout the movie. I tried to watch the bob marley movie from last year and turned it off ten minutes in. Rest in peace robert nesta marley
Walk Hard- The Dewey Cox story will change your mind about liking music bio-pics. His catalog was also recorded in studio 'b', on the other side of the looking glass wall That's what the janitor told me.❤
So, is Bob getting a cut or got a financial stake in this film? I am surprised he'd "promote" it. I agree with you, seeing actors play musicians (or your heroes), you grew up with, listened to, and revered is a tough trip to take... and usually quite disappointing. Might be a good question for your family of listeners... "Which music bio-pics have been faithful to the artist (and/or their fans)? Which have you enjoyed (or detested) the most, for whatever reason?
I’m a huge Dylan fan. I play a lot of Dylan music in my repertoire. I thought the movie was well done. Certainly nothing I didn’t already know but a Dylan era which is special to me.
Anthony Scaduto did a Dylan book back in the early 70's, I can't recall the title, but there was a quote from Bob on the cover "I like your book, that's the weird thing about it.". I don't know if it was a legit quote or not.
I will most likely go see the Dylan Movie. I’ve found similar movies enjoyable and when they get to wacko, I’m thankful, that I already know about the subject to just let the bogus stuff roll off my back. I still most often learn things from these kinda movies. “Ol’ Scooter” down in East Texas…
"I read it. Some of it is pretty straight, some of it exactly the way it happened...I rather enjoyed it." "I like your book. That's the weird thing about it." - Bob Dylan on Anthony Scaduto's book Bob Dylan.

Cool Otis! You and Dylan deserve the best recording studio. You are on a roll. Carry all these good vibes into the new year!❤

Always love your stories dude! And p.s. the bob movie intrigues me because all the performance is live and authentic.much love❤
Hank Hill's Deluxe Reverb! Another great video chock full of very good stories.

Morning all, 👍
Morning, Bill!
May your holidays be bright 💥🌞
My first guitar was a red Mustang from Harlan Bros. Music there in Indy about 1965.
Love you, Otis.
Good morning-coffee in hand & still givin a damn! Yeah,gonna see the Dylan flick on Xmas w/ the In-Laws & the kids. Probably gonna be goofy & disappointing,but hey,@ least it’s w/ family. Much love & Best of the Season to you & yours Brother,lookin forward to new release
What a AWESOME album title.... "Granddads amplifier"!!
I am going to watch for sure

Walk the Line is a great movie Otis.
Hey Otis ….good morning !
Yuletide greetings ✌️

Movie was great fun!

“Ol’ Scooter” down in East Texas…
Just saw A Complete Unknown. Highly recommend! Even Dylan himself approved, so what else would you need to be convinced it’s worth a shot?
"I read it. Some of it is pretty straight, some of it exactly the way it happened...I rather enjoyed it." "I like your book. That's the weird thing about it." - Bob Dylan on Anthony Scaduto's book Bob Dylan.
In NY shoveling snow
I heard that!
What a cool story. I think the title of the album has to mention the amp, your grandfather or both✌
Just read a few comments and saw another fan offering up 'Titles' the peanut gallery rides again...
Dylan tweeting! When’s he droppin’ his new rap single?
good
Otis...go interview Dylan. Agree with u about bionics.
