I just realized that the track is on Nervous Night, the album prior to One Way Home which I bought. That said, looking at the track listings they are both equally great albums so my recommendation is to just get either (or both) for <$10 each.
Dark-horse song as in lesser known? Hmmm, Graveyard Waltz doesn’t seem to get a lot of airplay? I see that Karla with a K is also conspicuously absent from some Best Of albums, so that could be another.
That’s cool about No Direction Home. I would venture to say that most people could stand to be better educated on Zimmerman (me included) and the musical impact he had on the times. I’d be tempted to put him 1B / 2 to the Beatles 1A / 1 from that era, but don’t think I’m educated enough to quite say at this time.
Yep. I think giving him the Nobel prize for literature was an awesome move by the academy and well deserved. If any musician deserved that, it was definitely him. Okay, and maybe Paul Simon should get one as well.
Paul Simon is a musical genius IMO, and I love singing his songs on karaoke nights, but… his utter contempt for Art G. really… well, uh, takes the ‘luster off his burnish,’ at least for me.

Thanks! Pretty good tunes.
I particularly enjoyed the Scots-Irish feel of Karla with a K.
I’ll cue up One Direction Home on YT and see what I think…
Oh man, I just realized I got confused on the name again. It’s One Way Home. Not Direction. I’ve edited my posting accordingly.
I had probably mixed it up with the excellent documentary movie named No Direction Home…
Glad you liked Karla. It’s one of my all-time favorites, and you just captured why. It really must be the Scots-Irish folk flair.
Thanks! I’ve corrected by bookmark.

Fair point.
