“Chimes of Freedom” Written by Bob Dylan performed by Pat Guadagno with Alex Jenkins on contra bass.
The video was filmed at ‘The Church’ of Tuli & Tommy Granger. It was directed by George McMorrow with assistance by Gregg Johnson and Mason Stelfox.
Every verse of this song speaks to someone. From the “Warrior whose Strength is not to Fight,” to the “Lonesome Hearted Lover with too Personal a Tale,” to “Each Unharmful Gentle Soul misplaced inside a Jail.”
We chose ‘The Church’ to film this video because it’s where Tommy G takes old cars and motorcycles to make them whole again. It works on old Folksingers too. — Pat Guadagno
This version of the song is presented in a flowing, emotionally resonant manner, which results in an excellent interpretation of a classic song. Any person taking on the task of covering a Dylan song can’t imitate it too closely for fear of sounding pale, and Pat Guadagno has successfully placed a warm spin on the song, bringing it a lovely and poignant freshness –
