BOB DYLAN - - - - Talkin' Havah Nagilah

Greenwich Village, 1961: Bob Dylan takes the stage at Gerde's Folk City. "Here's a foreign song I learned in Utah," he twangs into the microphone. He strums his guitar, and continues tunelessly: "Ha! Va! Ha-va! Ha-va-na! Havah Nagilah. Yodeleihoo!"

With the yodel and a finishing harmonica flourish, Dylan had outlined an epitaph for the Hebrew folk songs sung by folksingers like Theodore Bikel and the Weavers as part of a vaguely leftist, working- man's ethnic repertoire. The mockery was prescient: The left would not be strumming love songs about Israeli soldiers much longer. Dylan, with his inspired instinct for the authentic, was first to smell the phoniness.

"Talkin' Havah Negeilah Blues" appears for the first time on the new Bootleg Series compilation of "rare and unreleased recordings".
