This is an after-hours jam session with Bob Dylan and Etta James and her band. The Bob Dylan reported that “In the early hours of the 10th, Bob Dylan joined Etta James and Shuggie Otis on stage at the Providence Marriott Hotel. You can almost hear Dylan smile as he kept repeating the same suggestive verse of “I’m A King Bee” (The one about “making honey”).”

Long available on tape and vinyl since 1986, the Marriott Lounge gig is presented here in exceptionally good soundboard quality. A very enjoyable 30 minute “mini blues- fest,” with BD handling most of the lead vocals and playing guitar on all 4 trax. Some serious playing by Etta James’ blues band of obviously seasoned veterans, too. A great chance to hear BD sing the blues and a fun 30 minutes.
