Producer Bob Johnston talks about recording artist Bill Wilson. It was 1973 and Bill Wilson showed up at producer Bob Johnston's Nashville home with his guitar. He said, "I'd like to make a record." Johnston, who produced Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde," Leonard Cohen's "Songs From A Room" and Johnny Cash's "Live at Folsom Prison," reluctantly let him in his house. Bill played him some songs. Bob loved him. He rounded up some crack studio guys and cut the record. We are not sure who is on the record. Most likely Mac Gayden and Kenny Buttrey, who both played on "Blonde on Blonde," are on it. It was released on Columbia Records in 1973. Bob never saw or talked to Bill Wilson again since the recording session. And Bob had not heard the record again until February 22, 2012. That's when Tompkins Square label owner Josh Rosenthal brought the record over to Bob's house. Rosenthal had recently found the LP for a quarter. He wanted to find out what he could about the session. While Bob di! d have some hazy recollections, the album is still quite a mystery. 'Ever Changing Minstrel' is being reissued on the Tompkins Square in Autumn 2012. Bob Johnston's credits include: Patti Page: "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" US #8 (1965) Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited (with the exception of "Like a Rolling Stone") (1965), Blonde on Blonde (1966), John Wesley Harding (1967), Nashville Skyline (1969), Self Portrait (1970), New Morning (1970) Simon and Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence (1966), Parsley, Sage
