Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love
Honey baby, I can stand

I've been meek
And hard like an oak
I've seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me
Honey baby, I'll be here

I like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your hips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me misery

Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
I'm takin' you with me
Honey baby, when I go

Life is sad
Life is a bust
All ya can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and ya do it well
I'll do it for you
Honey baby, can't you tell?

Buckets of Rain

A very touching and emotional song, because this man was really baring his soul. That's why it's great. This was recorded with 2 microphones and playing the guitar and singing at the same time, using a nylon string guitar. From the 1974 album Blood on the Tracks which is one of his best albums according to many including myself. I dropped the key one whole step because I am playing in D with no capo. I recorded this rendition on February 25, 2024.

If You See Her Say Hello

It was December 1974, and musician Kevin Odegard just wanted to spend a quiet evening at home with his guitar and the latest episode of Kojak. But a phone call that night would change his life forever and lead to to him playing guitar on one of the greatest rock albums of the 1970s: Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. Dylan had delayed the album because he didn’t think the recordings he’d made in New York were going to get him back on the charts. So, he brought Odegard and a handful of other local musicians Minneapolis’s Sound 80 Studio to help Dylan re-record five songs over whirlwind two nights. 

Rick Shefchik and Paul Metsa have written the history of those sessions with Blood in the Tracks: The Minnesota Musicians behind Dylan’s Masterpiece. KFAI's Britt Aamodt spoke with Odegard, Shefchik, and Metsa about the legendary Minneapolis recordings.
