Exile Parade - Shelter From The Storm (Behind That Locked Door sessions 4/4)

The fourth and final 'Behind That Locked Door' session sees the band covering Bob Dylan's epic 'Shelter From The Storm'.

Dave: Although Dylan was a world superstar before he'd even left his teens, writing dozens of all time great songs, it is his 1974 album, Blood on the Tracks that i think is his finest album. In fact, i would say it's the finest album ever made by anybody. Shelter from the Storm is the second to last song on Blood on the Tracks. We all know about Dylan's early protest songs, his social commentary, the way that he didn't just tap into US social consciousness in the early/mid sixties, but actually determined it. Blood on the Tracks is nothing like that. It's universal but incredibly personal. It connects in a unique way that everybody can relate to. He'd discovered the trials of life in his twenties and thirties - he'd married, been divorced, had children, been heckled at every gig on his 'electric' tour. He'd been on a wild journey of ups and downs by this time and needed someone to give him 'Shelter from the Storm'. Everybody needs that sometimes, even a giant like Dylan
