Bob Dylan Band • Page 11

i keep hearing superlative things about the new chrissie hynde dylan covers record btw

 

and now i'm hearing it and everyone's right, it's awesome. incredible selection of dylan songs also, many of them from the edge of the christian period/infidels

 

need to hear this

 

"sweetheart like you" almost sounds like bob doing a van morrison type tune

 

Many computers ago I had an unmixed (rooting around now, maybe alternate takes) version of the album that I liked more. None of the 80’s verb and gloss:

 

I’m inclined to agree Infidels is half classic and half ok. “Man Of Peace” and “Union Sundown” are kinda throwaway, “I And I” is aight, “Neighborhood Bully” is interesting, appropriately unclear.

 

Also a shameless shout out to my friend Carla Olson who mimes Mick Taylor’s solo in the Sweetheart Like You vid:

A great artist in her own right. I helped her put out a Best Of Carla Olson and Mick Taylor LP last year and I’m working on reissuing her amazing record with Gene Clark right now:

 

gave this a listen and yeah: god fucking damn

similarly that piano and violin rendition of "If Not For You" is unbelievable

 

This podcast was really good. 55th Anniversary of the “Judas!” show.

‎36 From the Vault: Play It F***ing Loud! (Let's Talk About Bob Dylan) on Apple Podcasts

 

I have discovered Tell Tale Signs comp, good lord this is a goldmine. Bob you beauty

 

the Oh Mercy version of "Born in Time"... I don't have the words

 

Y’all should watch the Shadow Kingdom concert film he just put out if you can. He’s really singing and the staging/arrangements are a perfect late night vibe. Only one I didn’t care for is “Tombstone Blues”.

 

I’m watching it right now, and I’m definitely enjoying it as well

 

I haven't seen it yet but apparently Buck Meek from Big Thief is playing on Shadow Kingdom? that's fucking awesome

also, the tracklist of the next Bootleg Series is out and full of Infidels/EB era outtakes. I personally am thrilled

 

omfg that's the era i want a box of

 

right, even just having "New Danville Girl" is super exciting

 

Where dis tracklisting at?

i’d love to hear the supposed sessions with The Plugz, doesn’t look like they’re on the 2 disc version though

 

not perfect I know lol but it gives you an idea

 

lol yeah Shadow Kingdom is so good

Bob Dylan plays in the Black Lodge

 

Man there's some real gems on this latest bootleg series

omg

edit: thought the link would embed with a description but bobby wrote a book on modern songwriting

 

this would be bruuuuutal

 

Challenge accepted.

 

even i will not do that. #1 is easy though. it’s visions of johanna. not even close.

 

Yearly update. Infidels really jumped up for me last year, if the middle wasn't poor it'd prob be in the next tier.
