Episode 14: "April is the cruelest month"

Episode #14 Laura talks about Bob Dylan and TS Eliot, a historical disaster that took place in April, and plays the first ever (!) performance of Boots of Spanish Leather.

Here the Betty Carter version of the song Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most, which I mentioned in the episode, and which Dylan also played on his Theme Time Radio Hour.

Here is the Carter Family's song Titanic.

And here is the incredible God Moves on the Water by Blind Willie Johnson.
