Shakespeare In The Alley Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It's been far too long since I've listened to this. I cannot articulate how flawlessly brilliant this album is. Just, wonderful stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just, wonderful stuff."Flawlwessly" isn't the right word. Listen closely to the bass in 'Visions of Johanna.' You will get no argument from me about "brilliant," however.

The few less-than-great moments are only less-than-great because of the immense shadows cast by the high points of the album. Flawless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The few less-than-great moments are only less-than-great because of the immense shadows cast by the high points of the album. Flawless."Visions of Johanna" is my favorite cut on the record (usually), but the bass player on that track was clearly under-rehearsed. At least 3 times he comes in on the change too early, this can only be called a mistake. Mistake=flaw. Therefore, the album does not qualify as flawless. By no means does this ruin it for me, I prefer to think of it as a "warts and all" sort of thing that adds to the charm in much the same way that the organ coming in a half beat later on "Like a Rolling Stone" because the keyboard player (i should be able to use his name here, but dammit, my memory)wasn't sure what the chord was. Anyway, we're getting off topic here, perhaps there should be a separate thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It all comes together, and fits in to the sound Dylan was aiming for. One of the things that I respect so much about Dylan's first few full band records is that they were recorded live. These little missteps could have easily been overdubbed, but they weren't. And they don't scream "mistake!" So I just can't view them as flaws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dylan wasn't the kind of guy who gave everyone detailed charts of what to play. The fact that they kept up with him at all is a true sign to the talent assembled in those studios. Hell, for "Sad Eyed Lady," wasn't it said that no one had a clue how long Dylan was going to make that song? Just imagine being a musician in that setting. The fact that they weren't all train-wrecks of errors is a miracle. It just adds to the mystique behind 65/66 Dylan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like when Dylan flubs one of the lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
