Jude Johnstone's 2002 album Coming Of Age (BoJak Records 8014)
![]()
| HOWLIN' AT YOUR WINDOW | Bob Dylan/Jude Johnstone, 1993 | N? |
| Co-written in Austin, TX, April 1993, with singer-songwriter Jude Johnstone (who wrote Grammy Award-winning UNCHAINED for Johnny Cash, WOMAN BEFORE ME for Trisha Yearwood, CRY WOLF for Stevie Nicks, etc.). Thanks to Bob Burton from BoJak Records (Jude's manager) for confirming that she indeed wrote the lyrics for this song, while Bob wrote the music. It currently exists only in a version she's recorded as a "pitch demo". Her 2002 album "Coming Of Age" shown doesn't contain HOWLIN' AT YOUR WINDOW, nor does her second album "On A Good Day" from 2005. However Tim Dunn informs me that the song was copyrighted on 20 Dec 2005 by Sajak Music, Mad Jack Music and Bob Dylan, so it may finally be being considered for release. | ||
| HUNG OVER, HUNG DOWN, HUNG OUT | 1962 | O |
| Alternate title given to MIXED UP CONFUSION, released as a single in December 1962 and on CD on the Australian compilation "Masterpieces" and "Biograph" | ||
