Neuwirth was a good friend of Bob Dylan in the '60s, and befriended several well-known blues and folk musicians.
Neuwirth's voice sometimes sounds amazingly like Willie Nelson's, especially in "The Call," and once in a while he almost sounds like he's about to fall over that rusty edge into a Neil Young imitation.
Neuwirth's voice doesn't convey much emotion, to my ears -- I'm sure he is sincere in what he writes and sings, but I just don't hear the emotion that would bring the songs to life.

 Amazon.com: Video: Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back (1967)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When acclaimed documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, The War Room) filmed Bob Dylan during a three week concert tour of England in the Spring in 1965, he had no idea he was about to create one of the most intimate glimpses of the rock legend ever put on film.
You can see the uncertainty all over Bob's face during this sequence, and the nicer he tries to be to Donovan -- who quite honestly sholdn't even be in the same room with Dylan -- the funnier the whole thing gets.
Just as amazing is that when this film was made in 1965, Bob Dylan already had a substantive body of work, and had just turned electric (there's an early scene in the hotel listening to a test pressing of Maggie's Farm).

Neuwirth was inspired to explore Cuban music by visiting Cuban groups at a Lincoln Center concert.
As Neuwirth's interest in that country's music grew, a mutual friend introduced him to the great Cuban composer/arranger/pianist Jose Maria Vitier, whose work includes the score for the Oscar-nominated film Fresa y Chocolate (Strawberries and Chocolate).
It is neither an audio verite snapshot of Neuwirth's 1999 recording trip to Cuba, nor a collection on which Neuwirth tries to sing Cuban music, nor an album of Cuban musicians trying to play his folk/blues-influenced songs.

 Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Summary: Both a classic documentary and a vital pop-cultural artefact, DA Pennebaker's portrait of Bob Dylan in Don't Look Back captures the seminal singer-songwriter on the cusp of his transformation from folk prophet to rock trendsetter.
Pennebaker's access to the famously private troubadour lets us witness Dylan's shifting moods as he performs, relaxes with his entourage (including then lover Joan Baez, road manager Bob Neuwirth and poker-faced manager Albert Grossman) and jousts with other musicians (notably Animals alumnus Alan Price and Scottish folksinger Donovan), fans and press.
It's a measure of the filmmaker's acuity that the conversations are often as gripping as Dylan's solo performances.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Havana Midnight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The beauty of Havana Midnight is that Neuwirth's music is given a grace and elegance that, on the surface, ought to be constricting, but instead is entirely liberating.
Here's Bob again, with his clever internal rhymes, his longings expressed in poetry, and all the artful lyrics any romantic needs to remember exactly what it felt like to love willfully and have things sometimes end sadly beautiful.
From the accessible cultural references in Don Quixoye to the songs from the spiritual heart (and experience) of a well-traveled vagabond, Bob Neuwirth once again shows why he's cognescenti-adored while remaining fairly obscure.

 Amazon.ca: Video: Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This fly-on-the-wall film shows Bob at just 24, ready to turn the music world on its head by "going electric." Dylan is shown doing what he does best (besides writing songs): toying with reporters and would-be interviewers like a cat would toy with a mouse.
And then there are the intimate, silent shots of Bob on a train, removing his trademark sunglasses and revealing visible exhaustion, reminding those watching of the enormous pressures being placed upon him.
Add all this to the concert footage and the classic opening to the film, in which a deadpan-looking Bob is filmed holding cue cards with lyrics to "Subterranean Homesick Blues" printed on them, and you've got a wonderfully entertaining look at one of the world's greatest artists.
