EPISODE SUMMARY:
What is the best way to approach the work of an artist who's been creatively prolific for over 50 years? How do you pick out the best of their work when they have released dozens of albums over the years? These are not easy questions to answer for an artist like singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. But for a fan with a near encyclopedic knowledge of his oeuvre like comedian Nish Kumar, a good place as any is Bob's collaboration with folk rock icons The Band from 1975 called The Basement Tapes.
