honestly, though are there any new frontiers for dylan hot-takers? feels like everything has been covered. there's probably someone out there who's written tens of thousands of words on christmas in the heart. (which is great, don't get me wrong!)

unless you can cook up a hot take on Froggy Goes a Courtin

Anyone been hailing Knocked Out Loaded or Down in the Groove as lost classics? I know everyone loves “Brownsville Girl” (hot take: it’s kinda funny but stupid and not really worth returning to, “Long and Wasted Years” uses the same delivery in a 10x better song)

I love Street-Legal -- OG mix, not 1999 Don DeVito mix. Represent!

is preferring the 1999 street legal mix a hot take? i prefer it.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 21:08 (five years ago) link
I bought it years ago and promptly returned it. Maybe I'd like it more now, I dunno. The version on Spotify seems to be OG mix?

Oh dear. I didn't realise there was a Street Legal mix beef. No idea which side I'm on....
― Duke, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 21:11 (five years ago) link
The original mix is a horror; the 1999 mix improved it vastly. It's still not a great album (I'm fine with okay).

God, I love the Dylan thing of putting a 12-bar blues song as track #2 on an LP.

I've an old vinyl edition and the 2003 reissue. Is the latter the remix?

fine, then my hot take is that it is actually terrible

The 2003 SACD reissue is indeed the remix. Tho according to da Wiki - "In 2014, as part of The Complete Album Collection Vol. 1, Street-Legal was again remastered, but restored to its original 1978 Stan Kalina LP mix."
― brush ’em like crazy (morrisp), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 21:24 (five years ago) link
THE ORIGINAL IS BACK! That's some "A New Hope Restored Without the Late-90s CGI" fan-dream shizz
― brush ’em like crazy (morrisp), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 21:26 (five years ago) link
Shakey, Alfred - I can't believe you don't love this album! Aside from "Is Your Love in Vain?" (one weak track, smack in the middle), this is such a hott LP.

lucky for everyone because original vinyl of Street Legal isn't exactly in every single record store of all time

my feelings about Street Legal are well documented on the Street Legal thread.
which at least produced the LEGAL HASSLE Dylan/Reed mashup joke

― brush ’em like crazy (morrisp),
The writing is windy self-parody in a lot of places even on songs I like ("Senor"). "Where Are You Tonight (Journey Through Dark Heat)" is "Like a Rolling Stone" extended to crackpot length.

This is what I meant by a Dylan imitator.
"I fought with my twin/My enemy within," undergirded by bongos, is my idea of Dylan hell.
Damn, this is prime-era Dylan for me.

I have a memory of a conversation with difficult listening hour in which we treated every sentence as a line from "Changing of the Guards."
"I need a beer"
I NEED. A. BEER.
"I think we need to take this right."
TAKE. THIS. RIGHT.
anyway

Like regardless of whether this song is "imitation Dylan" or not, the whole lyric is so excellent to me - https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/where-are-you-tonight-journey-through-dark-heat/

PRESSIN ON
Ok there’s definitely more than one weak track on Street Legal. I really like “Where Are You Tonight” though (and I’m pretty sure it’s shorter than “Like a Rolling Stone”).
