“I pawned my pistol, I pawned my watch and chain
I’d pawn Camilla but Camilla can’t find my cane”

listening to a few tracks off Tempest to compare

his voice is so much better on this, I'm convinced the quitting smoking theory has to be true it's the only thing that makes sense

his voice is so thin on Tempest

Just read that he quit smoking for Nashville Skyline, which presumably helped him with that Lefty Frizzell croon, but than started again at some point after, although he was somewhat mysterious about the latter, as is his wont.

Barry "Fatha" Hines (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 13:15 (three years ago) link

Although even the first assertion was probably an, um, smokescreen as well. Also found that he apparently wrote this as well:

I have to quit smoking But I can't quit smoking I love to smoke Almost as much As I love to love

Sorry, no Muppet mention, not to mention any other problems.

Muppet parodies only imo:

I was trying to think of one with those two guys as Dallas snipers, perhaps involving Sam the Eagle, but I couldn't find any lyrical scraps in my magical hatbox to make it work.

Trying to fit "book depository" and "balcony" together was too difficult.

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

Our new favorite Blake Mills is all over this.

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

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.

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”)?

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

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.

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

I drive fast cars, and I eat fast fooooods . . . :)

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

In Murder Most Foul that is.

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.

'i've made up my mind' turns me into a puddle every time i listen

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

Lily Dale, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 03:18 (three 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 (three 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....
