It didn’t take five decades to discern how much Bob Dylan’s Desire benefited from its release almost immediately in the wake of the previous autumn’s Rolling Thunder tour.

Spencer Pope is an Atlanta-based multi-instrumentalist whose music draws upon the whimsy of a child’s drawing and the expertise of a sonic navigator.

His latest […]
