Groovin' to Bob Dylan

[OLDSTER]

Dylan fan, but can't forget Paul Simon

 

[Stevens]

Nashville Skyline, Desire, and Modern Times are some of my favorite albums of his.

Scarborough Fair

And just plain good songs:

Ok, so you want Bob Dylan.......

I like this a lot in spite of it's implied sexual ambiguity.

Nothing like bald honesty.

I love the way the Wilburys do this Del Shannon classic.

....parts and service.


Uh, yeah.

That whole string of things he talks about loving at the end of that song was plucked out of a magazine he was reading.

 

[bill2000]

Two of the most consequential singer/songwriters of this century. I mean no exaggeration.

[Donn]

Johnny's in the basement
Mixin' up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinkin' 'bout the guverment
One of the best opening lines ever.

And a verse or so later, "Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift."

 

[Watchdog]

And a verse or so later, "Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift."

"You don’t need a weatherman
To know which way the wind blows"

 

[meaneyedcatz]

Yes, don't forget about The Traveling Wilburys

Dylan and Johnny Cash were friends. Have you ever noticed Dylans "Don't Think Twice Its Alright " and Cash's "Understand Your Man" share the same tune. JC liked the song so BD gave permission to use the tune.

Have you ever heard "Girl From The North Country"? Dylan & Cash were at one of their homes late one evening and recorded several songs, spur of the moment style. A very crude version made it onto an album.
