1. Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed play a smooth country version of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's Alright."

2. Gospel legends the Five Blind Boys of Alabama tear up "Something's Got a Hold on Me" in the early sixties.

3. Footage used originally for a "Lady Madonna" promo film turns out to be the well-dressed Beatles recording "Hey Bulldog."

4. British jazz-rock singer Julie Driscoll wanders through a forest of Marcel Duchamp bicycle wheels in this surreal late-sixties clip of the Brian Auger & the Trinity's version of Dylan's "This Wheel's on Fire." (Driscoll also sang it as the theme song to great "Absoutely Fabulous" BBC TV show.)

5. The late Robert Altman directed this Scopitone film featuring Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass's "Bittersweet Samba."

6. Country guitar gods Chet Atkins, Albert Lee, and James Burton play a suave instrumental version of Ray Charles's "I Got a Woman" together in the atrium of the Opryland Hotel.
