"Elaborate sentimentality" tag which young Nik Cohn applied in passing to country music as a whole; in his 60s collection Rock From The Beginning, AKA A Whop-Bop-A-Loo-Bop-A-Lop-Bam-Boom and maybe other titles.

Sounds cool, is it presumably outtakes from Stadows sessions?

From wiki entry for "Amour Fou" (Season 3) episode of the Sopranos:
The music played when Ralph returns home to comfort Rosalie is a Bob Dylan cover of a Dean Martin song, "Return To Me". It was recorded for this episode at Dylan's request, as he is an admitted fan of the series [David Chase mentions this in the DVD/Blu-ray audio commentary for this episode].
this is really odd and I never noticed it before. Was this the beginning of his American songbook phase?
