Fact #118101
When:
Short story:
Bob Dylan has a recording session for the album New Morning at Columbia Studios, New York City, USA. George Harrison drops by and participates in the session.Full article:
Bob Johnston (producer) : I brought in Charlie Daniels and George Harrison, who played on that.
I remember that I thought Dylan’s music was so important, what he was doing, and what he was putting down. It was joyous to me. I never had that thing where – "I’d better watch what I say" – that never bothered me. I never gave a shit about that.
I just do what I do. If I can help that artist in any way, just by telling them what I thought, by telling them the damn truth [about how what they were doing was sounding, then I’d say it.] Not, "Well, we could do this a little better..." What is better? Better may be better for someone producing for Clive [Davis] or Walter Yetnikoff, but it’s not the same thing. I was producing because I felt I was helping the artist.
Charlie Daniels : The New York sessions were mostly songs which ended up on New Morning; these sessions were Dylan, Harrison, Russ Kunkel and myself.
As far as I know these sessions were never released. We recorded them again in New York, with Russ Kunkel, Al Kooper, David Bromberg and myself. I think that possibly a few other people could have been on the session. At any rate it finally turned into New Morning....
One other thing comes to mind that may be of interest to you. I remember Dylan got very loose and in a good mood that day and sang song after song, almost anything that we'd ask him to sing. I don't know what happened to those tapes, and I don't remember what the songs were, only that there were several of them.
