slothrop Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 The new albulm is great and complete's his three CD Trilogy. Some are calling the new CD one of his best works.

The Poojer Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 i am listening to his show from cooperstown on 9/2/06 and he sounds pretty darned good to me and i am not a huuuuuge dylan fan http://www.jonnyfairplay.com/ Who is that in your avatar? I think he's great. It's not just him though, he's got the tightest band in the land. 763052[/snapback]
slothrop Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Is dylan good live? 763044[/snapback] I have seen dylan four times, including a very emotional show shortly after Alan Ginsberg died. He is an awesome performer and an underrated guitarist. ANd as Rico said, his band is VERY good.

JoeFerguson Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I find you boring and bland. The album is !@#$ing great! 770657[/snapback] I consider myself a Bob Dylan fan. But he has so many albums, and a lot of them I don't like. This is one of them. I particularly do not like the production of it.
diver Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I am not a huge Dylan fan either. My exposure to him is his early years. Blood on the Tracks and before. I recently listened to his new album. Took a couple of listens but its has some pretty good songs. I like Workingman's Blues #2. I find him a cross between John Prine, John Hiatt and Harry Chapan. A couple of tunes on the album sounded like Louie Armstrong music. The music is different. I prefer his slow ballads over his rockabilly. I have tickets to go see him in October.
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 The new albulm is great and complete's his three CD Trilogy. Some are calling the new CD one of his best works. 762948[/snapback] I can't even put it in his top five. How could you, really? I mean, Freewheelin' Highway 61 Blonde on Blonde Blood on the Tracks Desire... all classic records, and there is probably room for some others there (New Morning's really underrated to me and I wish he'd done more instrumental work like the Pat Garrett score). The new one is good so far to my ears, but way too steeped in nostalgia, and some of the ballads are a bit too much of a paean to the really old radio ballads before rock and roll -- a little toothless when Dylan's best card is his dirty-old-man bite right now. I also have to say that I really miss his range. I think he's lost a lot even in the past ten years since Time Out of Mind. Listening back to anything pre-Rolling Thunder Revue the comparison in vocals between then and now is pretty wild.
diver Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Why billboard number one album in the country. It must have something going for it?
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Why billboard number one album in the country. It must have something going for it? 772896[/snapback] Partly because kids don't buy albums anymore and adults still do.

It makes for a very dull listen, IMHO.
