Statler and Waldorf
Take aim at the stage
At Sam the Eagle and Beauregard
And Lew Zealand the Mage

For which I’ll probably get booed off the stage myself.

Elton and Piggy do the Crocodile Rock
Play Mahna Mahna, play Raggmopp
Miss Lena Horne brings the Animal drums
Play it for Fozzie, play for Sweetums

Nice! Been trying to get Elton and Sweetums in there somehow, well done.

Speaking of clip art covers, Amazona sent me this in one of their unfathomable lists of recommendations and it reminded me of the cover of this album

assert (MatthewK), Monday, 29 June 2020 18:01 (four years ago) link

i think i like this album a lot but it's def not very musically adventurous.

akm, Monday, 29 June 2020 18:03 (four years ago) link

I guess I have two responses to that assessment. One is just the question of the extent to which you're supposed to consider roots music on its adventurousness. Or, conversely, whether it's more apt to think about the ways in which it situates itself in relation to its genre precedents. And I think Bob pushes the boundaries with that on this album.

My second one is that I hear things on this album that I think come from him having immersed himself in those Great American Songbook albums he did and I think those reaches are, actually, musically adventurous.

timellison, Monday, 29 June 2020 18:34 (four years ago) link

Not sure if this was already noted or not, but Olof Bjorner's site now has more in-depth session info up for this album. Turns out Fiona did not play any piano on the record:

6 Bob Dylan (harmonica).

2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Matt Chamberlain (drums).

5 Matt Chamberlain (percussion).

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, & 8 Blake Mills (guitar).

4 Charlie Sexton (background vocals).

10 Donnie Herron (violin).

9, 10 Benmont Tench (Hammond organ).

'made up my mind' is a very blake mills-y song

ACABincalifornia (voodoo chili), Thursday, 2 July 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link

It's funny that Fiona's new album and "Murder Most Foul" dropped the same weekend and nobody had any idea she played on both.

Chris L, Thursday, 2 July 2020 14:45 (four years ago) link

The “Twelve years old, they put me in a suit...” verse in “Key West” is so great, and comes out of nowhere. I wonder if it’s a fragment of something he had sitting around, and decided to work it in (by tagging it with “...down in Key West”)?

Pat McGroin (morrisp), Friday, 3 July 2020 17:19 (four years ago) link

I have a theory (based on nothing) that verse is about discovering music as a kid.

Chris L, Friday, 3 July 2020 18:39 (four years ago) link

I think it's about when he got his first suit.

When he grew out of it, they gave it to a vagabond. Admittedly, a small vagabond.

Mark G, Friday, 3 July 2020 22:21 (four years ago) link

He said there are no metaphors on this album, you guys! ;)

I just noticed he says, "wait a minute, boys" exactly the same way as in Hurricane.

He also mentioned “Memphis in June” in another song (“Tight Connection to My Heart”). There should be a list of specific things referenced more than once in Dylan songs.

Oh God, me too. I find it almost unbearably poignant and beautiful.

Lily Dale, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 03:18 (four years ago) link

It’s going to be one of the modern standards much as ‘Make You Feel My Love’ has become.

Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 07:25 (four years ago) link

"To Make You Feel My Love" is not poignant or beautiful, though

I shared this on an ILE thread by mistake. No harm in posting here too....

My kneejerk reaction to this was "No!" but then I realized...what are they gonna do, license it to Victoria's Secret?

Jesse’s been disowned. Bob hated American Wedding.

I saw this thread was bumped, and was hoping it was for an end-of-year discussion about how good this album was.

I honestly think my experience of this year would have been completely different (and probably much worse) without "Murder Most Foul" coming out when it did. It somehow seemed to meet the needs of the moment - at once something to puzzle about and something to help us grieve - and then look ahead to what was coming: "The soul of a nation been torn away," "If you want to remember you better write down the names," "It is what it is, and it's murder most foul."

"key west" was the one for me. was not expecting for emotional breakdowns to be soundtracked by a new bob dylan song, but it's just astonishing and beautiful

However he absolutely loves How High, so it wall comes out a wash.

Wall wash too, sure, why not?

I've tried returning to this album and found three tunes disposable ("Black Rider," "Goodbye Jimmy Reed," maybe "False Prophet"), love "Key West" and "I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You" and "My Own Version of You."

I agree with Lily Dale - not in a profound emotional sense, just in that it was a delightful and exciting aesthetic surprise served up at a time when that was very welcome.

The other day I saw the name 'Lily Dale' in a folk song's lyrics and thought: is that where the name of that ILX poster comes from?

I enjoy 'Goodbye Jimmy Reed' more than anything on this record - which is probably my favourite record of the year as I don't know any others.
