Ebony Hillbillies w/ Garland Jeffreys - Buckets of Rain (by Bob Dylan)

Hello to all,

Like everybody else I've been a great Bob Dylan fan since he came on the scene in the early 1960's. I was asked by my friend Richard Alderson to listen to a couple of songs he had in mind for a new album he was producing for The Ebony Hillbillies? What a great name for a band I thought! One of the song choices for the new EH album was BUCKETS OF RAIN. They asked me would I sing it as a favor and I said yes and jumped in with both feet.

Now it just so happens that Bob Dylan's Birthday is comin' up on Tueday, May 24, and I'll be headlining a don't miss Happy Birthday Bob Dylan Tribute concert that takes place at Mexicali Live on that day. And of course I'll be singing BUCKETS OF
RAIN (as well as other Dylan classics). Now don't miss the Ebony Hillbillies new album, The Bob Dylan Concert, and a cool version of BUCKETS...

Very best to all,
Garland Jeffreys
