Americana Highways  hosted this video premiere of Pat Guadagno’s version of Bob Dylan’s song Boots of Spanish Leather. “Recorded as a soaring duet with Mary McCrink, it’s lovely to hear this timeless song reimagined as a duet, and Pat’s observations are right, it was perfectly written to be a duet. Sunsets, campfires, waves along the coastlines, and the declaration of passion this song embodies are delivered masterfully together in the video. Sweet and sorrowful.”

The song appears on Pat’s recently released album 1964, which was produced by Pat Guadagno and Phil Ludwig. According to Pat, “Bob Dylan wrote this lyrical epistle about faded love and the open sea. A story of two lovers, a sailor, undecided about his direction and the woman in waiting. As their romantic fate becomes clear she requests Boots of Spanish Leather as a symbolic parting gift. Perfectly written as a duet, I was surprised Joan and Bob never recorded this, so Mary McCrink and I did.”

This version has Pat Guadagno on acoustic guitar and vocals; Mary McCrink on vocals; and Yuri Turchyn on violin. The video was directed, edited and produced by Christina Kotlar.
