mjpuczko Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 wow, this version of most of the time is downright strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i like huck's tune. what don't you like about it? The vocals are rotten, it goes absolutely nowhere, and it suffers from the same disjointed, directionless quality that has plagued so much of Bob's latter-day material. "All the merry little elves can go hang themselves?" Wha...?! The BS8 stream on NPR is mostly really excellent, though. The Oh Mercy and TOOM stuff are highlights (which isn't surprising), and Red River Shore is a full-on lost classic. Haunting words about a life half-lived in pursuit of lost love, a gorgeous melody and a kind of return to Durango sound that I can't help loving. Man... The version of Someday Baby on here is also really excellent, to the point where I can't believe the shitty official version was even considered for the album, let alone selected over this one.

HungryHippo Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 this set is sounding a lot better than I had imagined. I love that live version of High Water and Huck's Tune at the moment... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 some of those outtakes from oh mercy sound like outtakes from blood on the tracks. incredible! i think the lyrics are fine, and the music is far better than a lot of modern times, which is something i certainly do agree with you on. that version of someday baby is great, it'd be funny to think that there is probably a whole album of different versions of the songs from modern times that is as good as this. it's just such a pain in the arse about the whole third disc bullshit. there are quite a few songs on that (duncan & brady for example) that i'd love to have a good version of. i want d&b too!!!

TheMaker Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I love that live version of High Water and Huck's Tune at the moment... I'm really pleased that they chose that version of High Water. I only had to travel 10 minutes on the highway and 2 minutes in the city for that show, and it's the best Dylan gig I've ever seen. Fantastic fucking stuff! And what about his vocals on Can't Wait. Holy FUCK. Can anybody think of a more convicted, sensuous Dylan vocal from this era? Or, for that matter, going back to the late '70s and early '80s? It's pretty amazing!

It's mind boggling to me that I was walking around last week and had no idea that a song like Dreamin Of You existed. What superlatives can be said about this guy that don't come off sounding like cliche at this point? Thank you Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 i know man, i know. this just confirms my love for him & his music. obviously dreamin' of you is a remake or beginning to tryin' to get to heaven, which in itself is great. but what else is out there? christ. he scares me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What the hell else is out there? I am going to start sounding like a broken record, but I was walking around last week and had no idea that a song like Red River Shore existed. It is scary.

mjpuczko Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 obviously he's not as prolific as he was in the 60's, hell, even 70's but a lot of songs since oh mercy are just amazing. i really want an all acoustic album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
