keyse1 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Rock Salt and Nails written by Utah Phillips from The Basement Tapes An almost bottomless pit of musical genius from Bob as reinvents his voice from Blonde On Blonde to John Wesley Harding and writes some of his best ever songs and great vocals and then proceeds to not release them for almost 50 years except for a touched up version of some of the songs in the 70's Like all great records it takes years for music this good to unravel all its bits and pieces and now he is releasing 35 live CDs of the the 66 tour with The Band i'll need another 65 years just to scratch the surface 1
keyse1 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Still stuck on Boblaying his songs alphabetically so there are multiple versions of some songs that can last for 30 minutes or so on the one song this is one of my favourite songs the subject is leaving this old world with A Satisfied mind not sure who wrote it but it is an old country song that has had multiple versions recorded over the decades 1
Guest BobbyD Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Arrived this afternoon...................more Bob to listen to tonight.... thanks Mr Metamatic for the recommendation

Get off My lawn Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 This arrived today -Blonde on Blonde Revisited - interesting, and some great covers, though as expected, some better than others. The highlight for me is Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands by Jim O'Rourke 1

I need to buy myself a Vinyl Flat. 1

keyse1 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 Listing to Some less than famous songs i first heard this song done live on several occasions by Wilko Johnson in London about 1980 i knew it to be a Bob song because I had read about it i think Wilko's is better 1

ZEN MISTER Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 It is of interest that Pattis' literary influences are much the same as Zimmy, with Bob perhaps skewed toward the song tradition, whereas Patti was a definite book worm: think Verlaine, Baudelaire, Mallory etc. This is interesting for a few reasons. Firstly, the withdrawn cover notes are a brilliant indicator that Bob 'hung ' with Allen Ginsberg, author of " HOWL" - the original sixties primal scream. Stream of conscience wordplay was in the ether, and Bob was never one to let syntax and punctuation dull his flame, so the wonderfully off the wall rant he proposed for the cover notes were a part of the equation : spontaneous takes, naive cover art, cover rant. The echo to be considered is Pattis' less than glowing review of "PLANET WAVES": essentially, this is, in style and substance, unaware mimicry of the very thing Bob was doing. I wonder what she would write now. Bob was going for the moment in these songs, and if they did not consistently reach his own high standards, WTF. I will concur that the average pressing of this album leaves a lot to be desired. If you ever get a chance to hear the SACD layer of the 2003 reissues, it may change ones mind. You actually get the sense of the BAND intently following Bobs' lead, with their responses, on some tracks, a micro-beat behind. On the few tracks blessed with a ' run through' the consolidation and confidence of the players is more discernable. Perhaps not my go-to Bob album ( that would be J.W.H.) but a keeper in my books. Billy. 2
keyse1 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 I like the record a lot May God bless and keep you always............ May you grow up to be righteous may you grow up to be true may you always know the truth and see the light surrounding you Simple beautifully written sentiment one of my favourite songs by anyone When Dylan uses the word truth and being true there is a lot of depth to the meaning both in a religious or secular sense of the word Dirge is a great song even by Dylan's standard certainly top 20 Lots of great lines all over the record Wedding Song was a total shock at the time even if not a great song even though I like it very direct which was unusual for Dylan at that time and at anytime since Blood On The Tracks well worth pursuing in a listening sense 4
Guest BobbyD Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 My Japanese CD arrived today.......loving it.Bobs commitment to every lyric, every word is incredible.
keyse1 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 something for fanatics All the albums featured on #BobDylan's 1965 LP "Bringing It All Back Home" I've got a head full of useless information this is the sort of trivia that i thrive on 1
