Is the “Bed Intruder Song” 2010′s answer to “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” or “Masters of War?” Is a digital music geek plus a sampled news clip the 2010 equivalent of a guy from rural Minnesota with an acoustic guitar and a poet’s ear for a lyric? We’re not sure, but this tune has us thinking about what it means to make folk music ripe with social commentary these days…and to sell a lot of records/tracks in the process, just like Bob did.
Antoine Dodson + Evan Gregory = Bob Dylan
