The back cover art of this album is so wtf, with that irrelevent Victoria Spivey photo and the album title in quotes with a kinda used-cars font - it's like he hoped it would be mistaken for a cheap bootleg or something.

yeah it is pretty random, wonder what the thinking was. i read some essay a long time ago that made the claim that if dylan was bearded on the front album photograph it meant that it was not an actual bob dylan album.

Heard this -- and Nashville Skyline, and Self Portrait -- for the first time two days ago. Of those three, I like New Morning the best (Self Portrait isn't that bad...some songs are hideous, some are meh, a few are brilliant, most of the arrangements are shit).
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 18 May 2014 15:46 (nine years ago) link
I like New Morning a lot, and love some of it, but like I said on the poll thread, I think it's a bit of a head fake. The title (and title track) suggest a level of assurance that the album doesn't actually have. It's like he's trying to will himself into some new phase that hasn't really come into focus yet. You can sense Blood on the Tracks coming a little way off but he's not to that level of self-awareness and renewed confidence yet. And "Father of Night" prefigures the born again years, too.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 18 May 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
Good points. Tarfumes, try Another Self-Portrait, or anyway the 15-track sampler on Spotify: some keepers, though the New Morning outtakes are understandablly that ("Sign On The Window" is more effective without those nice horns). Would have preferred "Working On A Guru"'s inclusion on NM, humorously/wistfully balancing the corn in "Sign", though other original-release tracks balance it better. "If Dogs Run Free" is the genius move there. Hit it Baby.
― dow, Sunday, 18 May 2014 16:26 (nine years ago) link
i don't see why blood on the tracks should be the standard
― j., Sunday, 18 May 2014 16:31 (nine years ago) link
Not "the standard," it just to me sounds like a guy in mature control of what he's doing and how and why. New Morning is more tentative -- part of its charm, really.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 18 May 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link
New Morning, at least some of it, was salvaged from an aborted project he was doing with an author.

Yeah, but after Nashville Skyline and Self-Portrait, it worked as more of a How I Got This Way: the desperate little Van Morrison-esque outbursts, where he just wouldn't have a clue and it wouldn't ring true, if not for you; the disappointment of "Gypsy", the desolate self=pity of "Sign", the paranoid flight from "Locusts", even, back in the saftey zone, restlessness gradually becoming desperate once again: "Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream!" So, escapism of those other albums aside, here it's more like he admits, hell, he's (almost) tried everything else. The title song celebrates provisional, historical, get-it-while-you-can new mornings: "Auto-mo-beel, comin' into style"[ the bare dryness of some tracks goes with the bloomin' beauty of others; the randiness and rolling Crumb grooves of "One More Weekend," and "If Dogs Run Free". Dad's tales "Three Angels" and "Father of Night" (little did we know what these were symptoms of). Hiding coz he doesn't wanna turn into some machine is a plausible/characteristic enough alibi too.

The "holy shit" is really at the find, as a life-long garage saler and trawler of junk bins. That "I've found the mother lode" moment. Clearly this was not a dollar-bin scenario but still, the idea that there is treasure out there not-yet-found is pretty awesome.

thing this, as the post notes, columbia/sony probably already has masters of all this stuff, from which the stuff on "another self portrait" was selected.

Dave Marsh calls “Went to See the Gypsy” an “obvious Elvis parable” in those old RS Record Guides (Big Red and Bog Blue); that was the only time I heard that idea mentioned until the liner notes of the Bootleg Series set, where Greil Marcus calls it, “...for reasons I have never grasped the dominant reading of the song.”
I’ll let those krusty rock-krit guys duke it out... though I suppose I fall more on GM’s side. What makes it an “obvious” Elvis parable, the reference to Las Vegas? Did Elvis famously visit Minnesota and Dylan paid him a visit, orSomething?
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Thursday, 15 March 2018 03:22 (six years ago) link
(That was meant to say “Big Blue,” but “Bog Blue” is more appropriate... my copy looks like it was fished out of a bog. And Marsh’s write-ups tend to be Bog Basic. He only gives “Planet Waves” two stars! I really don’t think that guy listened very deeply to most of the albums he wrote up... except maybe in the case of the Who, his personal Godhead.)

― niels, Thursday, 15 March 2018 07:52 (six years ago) link
love the vibe of this record, every time i put it on it's like "has this actually become my favorite bob dylan album?" in overview too many of the songs are kinda forgettable, and bob plays piano like he started taking lessons last month, but it's got this great hazy/drunk/loose quality that i really love. "man in me" is an all-timer and i get "day of the locusts" stuck in my head all the time.
