Humungus · Aug 21, 2013

is there a way to buy only the live concert? all the live stuff I've heard from that era with The Band sounds amazing. the rest of it doesn't interest me.

Never understood the hatred of Self-Portrait, but to each his own. His version of "Take a Message to Mary" has always been a favorite.

Imagine it's 1970, and you put on a Bob Dylan album, and this is the first thing you hear when you drop the needle on side one:

Dylan himself later that he intentionally put out a piece of shit (mostly other people's songs, no less) basically because he was tired of being Spokesman for a Generation. It was very Dylan of him to include a second helping, er, album in his shit sandwich.

It's 'All the Tired Horses.'

Just got the RS issue with the review. (Who the fuck is Macklemore and what is doing on the cover of the Rolling fucking Stone?) No surprise bag-licker extraordinaire David Fricke wrote it, Dylan must have let him hand out while he was putting it together.

The stuff on the NPR link sounds pretty cool.

New song out, new album coming:

Is Bob Dylan channeling his inner Sinatra? Or is it his inner Rachmaninoff? On Wednesday, Mr. Dylan’s website, bobdylan.com, posted what appears to be the cover of the singer’s forthcoming album, “Shadows in the Night,” as well as a single track – a gently sung cover of “Full Moon and Empty Arms,” in an ensemble dominated by a country-tinged steel guitar part. The song, written in 1945 by Buddy Kaye and Ted Mossman, is based on a theme from the third movement of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, and was a hit for Frank Sinatra in 1946.

Someone close to Mr. Dylan, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the album, said that it would be released “some time this year,” but would not say whether the album would be a collection of American Songbook standards, like recent albums by Paul McCartney and Rod Stewart; a collection of miscellaneous covers and originals like Mr. Dylan’s own “Self Portrait” (which included “Blue Moon,” a song recorded by both Sinatra and Elvis Presley); or whether the track is simply an anomaly.

Good news. I feared when he named his last album "Tempest" (a really solid album) that he might be channeling Shakespeare and quitting recording.

It's amazing how good the final act of his career has been. I even enjoy the growl his voice has become the last several years. It works on tracks like Duquesne Whistle and Pay In Blood quite well.
