In Their Words: “Bob Dylan is a legendary songwriter whose impact on popular music is undeniable. His songs are rich with storytelling, and they provide a perfect foundation for a bluegrass interpretation. The song ‘SeƱor (Tales of Yankee Power)’ is a classic example of his masterful storytelling and evocative lyricism. By combining the traditional sounds of Nashville bluegrass and the energetic improvisation of New Orleans Dixieland Jazz, we aim to pay homage to Dylan’s timeless songwriting while also putting our own unique spin on it. The result is a high-energy, dynamic interpretation that highlights the strengths of both genres and captures the spirit of this iconic song.” — Joakim Borgen, mandolin, Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra
