Bob Dylan -- Modern Times...


Watchwatcher

Recommended Posts

Having had Modern Times for a few days now I'd give it 4 stars.

Never having been a great Dylan fan I have to say that this is very listenable.

Some of the "old boys" like Dylan, Young, Stills in their dotage seem to be inspired by a submission to the realisation of what mortality really means and are able to muster one or two last hurrahs.

True in this case although Bobby's never been stuck for a rhyming couplet or two in the past.

Very enjoyable.

Off to see Steve Forbert tomorrow night who has never had the acclaim he deserves.

Another album worth giving a shot to is the Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris' "All the Roadrunning" Good stuff.

honestly? i p[refer dylan's low key version to all the covers, although I do rate matthews' a second. As much as I love hendrix, for some reason, his cover of that song doesn't do it for me.

You gotta listen to the "Golden Gate Park" version of the DMB cover. With Carlos Santana on electric guitar. That's one of the most impressive live performances I've heard. And believe me... I have thousands of concert bootlegs.

The album is "Listener Supported".
