Not really. With massive catalogue musicians you usually have people picking only sections of it.Kory wrote:Is it weird to only really like the first four albums? I find a few things to like later, but not nearly as much as I get off on the early years.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Yeah, as I say, I like bits of Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 and stuff, but I think his main power lies in the acoustic stuff.eumaas wrote:Not really.

I don't much care for it he seems to be doing something weird(er) with his voice on it...when I first heard it, it seemed to me he was affecting a Liverpool accent a bit. I may be misremembering that though.eumaas wrote:What do you think of John Wesley Harding?Kory wrote:Yeah, as I say, I like bits of Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 and stuff, but I think his main power lies in the acoustic stuff.eumaas wrote:Not really.

That album bears a lot of listening.

Re: Deep Bob Dylan Theory 2012
Nah, whole package. Folk and country based songs. His voice isn't quite as soft as Isle of Wight 1969 or Nashville Skyline, but it's a different voice for Dylan. The lyrics are mysterious without being over the top beat-surreal like his electric stuff, and the songs are concise. It's got a gothic vibe to it that you won't find on any other Dylan album. The one qualm is that the harmonica is mixed too high.Kory wrote:Well I'll give it another go. Is it the lyrics that you enjoy?eumaas wrote:That album bears a lot of listening.

Re: Deep Bob Dylan Theory 2012
John Wesley Harding is great. Eerie country-folk that feels like a record he could only have cut after coming through the other side of his Rock And Roll triptych. I hope that period gets the bootleg treatment at some point.

I like it. His catalog is so huge I always go back and find stuff that didn't grab me first time.Flex wrote:John Wesley Harding is great.
