Gobias Industries Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 bringing it all back home It has been growing on me recently, and it's on the verge of displacing Blonde On Blonde for #2. Still have to see if it can ever compete with H61. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The song that hooked me on Dylan and then reeled me in was Visions of Johanna. For some reason on my copy of B on B I have to turn it up louder than the rest of the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 1. Blood on the Tracks2. Highway 613. Time Out of Mind4. Bringing It All Back Home5. John Wesley Harding I think it'd be more interesting to make a thread about one's least favourite Dylan records. Mine'd look something like this: 1. Dylan2. Knocked Out Loaded3. Empire Burlesque4. Down in the Groove5. Modern Times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Saved Really? I kinda like it. Nowhere near the top 5 but it's not that terrible, is it? Or maybe I'm just partial to Pressing On (and, moreover, John Doe's version on the INT soundtrack ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Another Side.. Definitely my least favourite of the '60s records. Some of the individual songs are classics, but the recording itself is the opposite of compelling, IMO. Plus, from late '63 to the end of '64, Dylan had this truly irritating shrill quality to his voice that I just can't stand. I mean, I own Bootleg 6, of course, but I've never actually listened to it.

I Shall Be Free No. 10Motorpsycho Nightmare Those are great tunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 So What's the story with bootleg #6. Is it worth purchasing? It looks like it would be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 bootleg #6 is the halloween concert Dylan did in 1964. its a common one but now has an official release:.. well worth getting. http://www.bobdylan.com/moderntimes/albums/live1964.html as for Another side, i like the songs but there's something about the recording and his voice that i dont like. its sticks out from the rest of 60s albums. On the other hand, it was recorded in, what, 6 hours over a bottle of whiskey? Same with Saved - i like most of the songs but the recording sounds bad. they sounded much better on the gospel tour between 79-81 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 as for Another side, i like the songs but there's something about the recording and his voice that i dont like. its sticks out from the rest of 60s albums. Totally disagree. Actually there's something more soulful and moving from these vocals than on most of his other 60s albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I Shall Be Free No. 10Motorpsycho Nightmare Those are great tunes. I'd rather pick "To Ramona" and "It Ain't Me, Babe". Their sound alone is 100% affecting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Good to see some love for Nashville Skyline. Definitely one of my favoourites up there with Blond on Blonde and Highway 61. This album is just straight up awesome. Duo with Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels on Bass. Give to me my country pie. I won't throw it up in anybody's face What more do you need?I know, it's one of my all time favorite country rock records, right up there with Harvest and Anodyne. Lay Lady Lay (as well as Tangled Up in Blue) is the entire reason I got into Bob Dylan when I was a 17 year old kid with an acoustic guitar cause I didn't have enough money to buy a proper guitar amp (some things never change haha).

Analogman Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Revised: 14 June, 2008 12 Jun 2008: Thanks to Juan B. Heinink for information that the new volume of The Bootleg Series mentioned in the entry for 19 May 2008 is reported to contain previously officially-unreleased material from between 1989 and 2006. Thanks to Nol Grint for news from the Dutch newspaper "De Standaard" that it will contain five out-takes from Oh Mercy including solo piano versions of Dignity (maybe R-0680, see 2004) and God Knows; Polly Vaughan and Rise Again from the 1992 Chicago sessions with David Bromberg; 32:20 Blues, out-take from World Gone Wrong; Girl From The Red River Shore, Shake Sugaree and Mississippi, out-takes from Time Out of Mind out-takes; 'Cross The Green Mountain from Gods And Generals (R-0586, see 2003); plus two demo versions of songs from Modern Times. Thanks to HwyCDRrev for news that Collector's Choice will re-release two Doug Sahm Atlantic albums featuring Bob in the USA on 31 Oct 2008: Doug Sahm and Band (see 1972) and Texas Tornado by The Sir Douglas Band (see 1973). 19 May 2008: Ian Woodward's "Wicked Messenger" column in "Isis" issue 138 reports that Bob has put music to some of the "Shoebox Songs" - unpublished lyrics left by Hank Williams in notebooks and papers in a shoebox. Apparently an album featuring Bob and other artists will be released by Sony later this year. Norah Jones performed one of the Shoebox Songs in New York in Mar 2008 with music written by herself. Ian also says a new volume of The Bootleg Series is likely to be released by Columbia/Legacy in Autumn 2008 - this is expected to be a 2CD set of previously officially-unreleased studio material like Vols. 1-3.

LouieB Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I just can't believe it, people. I have read the six pages and all the lists, and apart from Analogman who lists the whole discography, nobody mentionned Another Side of Bob Dylan, which is far better than the Freewheelin' one.See other Dylan thread for Another Side talk....

Analogman Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Today, I found a Rolling Stone from the summer of 1986 at the laundromat with Dylan/Petty on the cover (in pristine condition), and, also, there is a link to a video today on Expecting rain from that very tour.

bigideas Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i've finally got a good listen at Blood on the Tracks.now i see why it's up there with his 60's stuff. the way he sings some words in Big Girl (how he strains one word in every verse) and Idiot Wind (how he pronounces 'idiot') are minorly annoying, but other than that, a very good album. anyone notice how Buckets of Rain resembles Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime? If You See Her makes me think of Lady Jane a little bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Listened to Highway 61 Revisited yesterday and was reminded of what a freaking masterpiece it is . . .I believe it is the best rock record ever made. No matter how I study it. No matter how I tear it apart. No matter how I break it down, it remains consistent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 after seven years of living with it and eight years of being a massive Dylan fan, "Love & Theft" eventually became (and probably will stay) my favorite Dylan record. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Can't remember if I have already posted my Dylan favorites (but it is a moving target anyway...)
