keyse1 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 One of Bob’s great songs at a time when a lot of people like me thought he’d lost the plot about death or at least the grim reaper I think in fact this is a great record still religous but minus the didactic style of the preceding 3 records 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Listening to this with a less prejudiced ears since the release of Trouble No More and comparing some of the religious records from that time with the versions on Trouble No More Sounds surprisingly good But there is no denying the intensity and passion of the live stuff Or the killer band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Despite Looking not unlike the cat that swallowed a canary a great record cover and one of his best ever songs great but ugly not very lovey dovey shouting version of this with different lyrics on Hard Rain probably why he was looking for a bit of redemption a few years later great song off Trouble No More love the way he sings dead man dead man if you like Dylan get into this record 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Watching the DVD that comes with the box set this Guy keeps popping on a regular basis with a sermon kind Of weird nothing particularly awful and nothing that Dylan hasn’t said one way or another over decades and the gospel chorus of 5 black soul singers pretty spectacular should be compulsory viewing for professional Christians like Abbott Abetz Bernadi and the genuinely creepy guy that Bernadi just recruited they might get to understand that what they preach and what the Bible says are 2 different things hard to recommend for anyone with just a passing interest in Dylan but kind of fascinating for fanatics and as I said before killer band and great singing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Great great song but had no idea that the interpretation was so complicated Or that it referred to Ode To Billie Joe Not sure if anyone will be as interested as I am but the comments of Billie Gentry in relation to the songs meaning Could just as easily be applied to the way racism has been legitimised as policy by Howard and his Tampa response and of course Brexit and Trump and the disinterest in public and private discourse And the coming backlash to the outrage over cheating in cricket around the view that everyone does it which I was thinking about at the same time I was reading about this song http://www.expectingrain.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?p=981428&sid=a04003d35d1e5f05cf2455e077a12371 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEN MISTER Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 My Dylan obsessions currently run as : 1/ John Wesley Harding ( Bob looks out his back door and sees scripture in the odd and prosaic. Bonus, best unrecognised zombie song ever. 2/ Nashville Skyline - (Bob gets a boner for love and life in general.) 3/ Blonde on Blonde - ( Bob gets high, irritable, and has visions deluxe) 4/ Blood on The Tracks - ( Bob gets even) 5/ World Gone Wrong - ( Bob remembers where he came from.) 6/ Oh, Mercy - ( Bob gets produced well) - others, different tunes for different rooms, but a huge soft spot for the much maligned " Dylan and The Dead".

Bob's voice was never better imo, probably due to him giving up the fags before it was recorded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 https://genius.com/Dallas-holm-rise-again-lyrics written by a Christian singer songwriter but there is no doubting Dylan’s belief in them make of the lyrics what you like but this is impassioned singing with just acoustic I think and only a rehearsal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) After 6 months on and off listening still don’t know where I am with this sigh i really don’t like Christianity and a lot of what I don’t like is here but comes complete with some great singing a great band and some sublime songwriting but and it’s a big but for example one dreadful song written by Hank Williams(or in this case Hank The Drifter) called Help Me Understand is about divorce and the children not just awful but the hypocrisy is writ large considering the life Dylan was leading at that time Lyrically maudlin but almost redeemed by the impassioned singing in the chorus God this is awful and God this is great so to speak all in the same song At least he’s actually read and studied the Bible and isn’t just looking for quotes to prop up what he is saying after all that it’s more good than bad and sometime absolutely great Edited April 18, 2018 by keyse1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
