This morning I've seen Bob Egan's latest detective-work in hunting down previously-unidentified locations for well-known Bob Dylan photo-shoots. I blogged before about his establishing of where the cover shot of Highway 61 Revisited was done. Now he's posted some new results here. I think the work he does on this is rather brilliant, and that he's admirable for both the originality of the task he's set himself and the ingenuity he brings to it. I think it's a pity he calls his site PopSpots - RockSpots would sound a little less quaint/gagafied - but more power to him anyway.
A fascinating piece of research. I was lucky enough to read his page about the Highway 61 album cover before my first trip to NYC earlier this year, and I made the obligatory trip to Gramercy Park. Now I need find an excuse for a second trans-Atlantic holiday!
