I've enjoyed reading Kali's response after just getting in to Dylan, I appreciate your recommendations a lot.
I'm trying to put off collecting Dylan vinyl but ya'll are making it hard
I got a bunch of CD's burned for me by my brother who has been getting them at the Public Library in Brentwood. They have a great library
Bought a bunch of CD's cheap on Amazon, some for $5.
I have a long list of stuff from the Napster days but it's shitty quality.
Back when it took 1/2 an hour to download one song
!!! lolMan wouldn't it be great to go to a record store or three in Japan !!!

Re: Bob Dylan
Picked up Blood On the Tracks, Bringing It All Back Home, John Wesley Harding, and a 70s era bootleg yesterday. Didn't think much of the bootleg, it's not a great recording or a great pressing, but then at the end of it were beee-yoo-tiful performances of To Romona and Lay Lady Lay and it was totally worth the $10.
Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts is a blast.
And I've had to listen to Sara at least once a day for the past week.

Re: Bob Dylan
Great article that Jarrett linked me to this morning-- http://gaslightrecords.com/articles/eve ... -bob-dylan
Last week I read Elijah Wald's new book about Dylan's infamous electric performance at Newport, and I'm now halfway through Chronicles, Volume One. Anyone here read either of those?

Glad you enjoyed it. I especially liked Obama's comment-- "That’s how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don’t want him to be all cheesin’ and grinnin’ with you."

Re: Bob Dylan
"Chronicles" is excellent...still holding out for Volume II. If you're looking for a high-brow academic analysis of Bob, check out Ricks' "Dylan's Visions of Sin."Kali Durga wrote:Great article that Jarrett linked me to this morning-- http://gaslightrecords.com/articles/eve ... -bob-dylan

Re: Bob Dylan
I've been so engrossed in Chronicles that I feel like I'm reading it way too fast. When I get to the end, I think I may go back to the beginning and try to go through it more slowly. But the tone of it feels so familiar, and his mention of what he learned from Lonnie Johnson grabbed me. I've got a record of Lonnie's that I love the hell out of and now I've got to dive more deeply into his music because of what Dylan said about him.
Visions of Sin came up as a recommendation when I was looking at Anthony Scaduto's Dylan bio on Amazon the other day, thanks for mentioning it again. Just went ahead and ordered it, along with a collection of Griel Marcus' writings about him.
Thank you for taking a break, Jack! This is the best thing I could've possibly done during your hiatus.

Re: Bob Dylan
Proud to say I worked on Chronicles for Simon and Schuster. Imagine my thrill reading the original manuscript two months before it was published!! (And yep, I still have my copy of that manuscript.) It's an amazing book.
And if you really want to get deep . . .

And that's just one of many "subtext"/"plagarism" articles . . .

And P.S. That Lonnie Johnson "highly controlled system of playing" thing in Chronicles? Pure, delightful Dylanesque hokum.

Re: Bob Dylan
I've been wondering as I read just how much of the entire book is hokum. Hokum or truth, though, you nailed it, it is definitely delightful. In that particular part, it was the mathematics of it that fascinated me. And I'm still grateful for that passage as an impetus to explore Johnson's music, which I've been meaning to do for a while now.woodisgood wrote:And P.S.

Very cool that you worked on the book. And thank you for that link, I printed the article for reading later.
