Today we journey back to 1986 to explore some of the many old-time-rock-and-roll covers Bob Dylan performed while on tour with his big-name backing band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (and don't forget the Queens of Rhythm!). Exploring largely songs they grew up with, they tackle everything from Ricky Nelson to "House of the Rising Sun" to a song in Japanese.
