Anyway this is an excellent overview. https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/20850-forgotten-heroes-bruce-langhorne?page=3 Linked into the middle of it- page 3- because I love the picture so much of Langhorne, Dylan, Carolyn Hester and Spike Lee's dad.

Forthcoming tribute album is very good.

And speaking said forthcoming tribute album, my short review of it:

The original is of course ridiculously great.

Crazy to think that such a simple template - dude gets high and, reacting to a film, overdubs himself playing very simple parts on acoustic instruments - produced such a singular release.
I thought I posted this already, but wasn't that basically how Neil Young did the Dead Man soundtrack?

Not to provide the dorkiest thought here, but as someone who's played lots of video games in my life this always gives me a heavy RPG soundtrack vide, personally.

Very sad news that Bruce Langhorne has passed

Bruce Langhorne passed away this morning. Endless gratitude to the tambourine man. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if it weren't for him.

Sad, if expected. So glad he got to see that comp, which maybe helped him realize how tremendous an influence he was on a lotta very creative weirdos. RIP
