Notes
The actual film location was somewhere in Santa
Monica, west of downtown LA. It was done in mid-May 2021 in around seven days.
The recording of the music and the filming were done separately. Engineered by
Mike Piersante, the audio was probably recorded at
the historic but recently revamped Village Studios in West LA, once home to the
recording of Planet Waves.
The musicians that recorded the music is rumored to
have been Greg Leisz (guitar, dobro, mandolin and pedal steel guitar), Tim Pierce (guitar), Jeff
Taylor (accordion), and Don Was (bass)
When I Paint My Masterpiece and To Be Alone With You have partly re-written lyrics.
In Watching
The River Flow the original lyrics has “people
disagreeing on all just about everything,” but here that is changed to “People
disappearing everywhere you look/ Only yesterday I seen somebody who said
goodbye.” This change could refer to the many deaths around Bob Dylan, or more
likely to the Covid pandemic during which so many people have said goodbye to
this world.
