Free Music Review: Better with age Hit: 4 StarsFor some reason I have always had a love/hate relationship with Bob Dylan and I really don't know why. Maybe it was his disregard for smooth, high-fidelity recordings that I always preferred in all genres that put me off. But the older I get the more I find I love his music more and more. While not quite as hypnotic and intoxicating as "Highway 61 Revisited," this album still pulls me into a world that intrigues and fascinates. His phrasing and his carnival-like lyrics leave me shaking my head in awe and I feel like I missed out on so much by not paying better attention to him in the decades before. Alas, I figure better late than never and I was happy to add this to my collection. Please do the same. You'll thank me someday.
Free Music Review: I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet. Hit: 5 StarsBlonde on Blonde is Dylan's absolute masterpiece. The two-record set featured the stoned celebration of "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and the sweetly engaging "I Want You", but it was for it's ballads--"Visions of Johanna", "Just Like a Woman" and the side-long "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"--that he drew forth the most dense, hypnotic music of his career, and poetry that overflowed not only with hypnotic wordplay but a depth of mood that language can rarely convey. Played by guitarist Robbie Robertson, the future leader of the Band, as well as by a group of ace Nashville studio musicians, the songs were hardly country songs, but the recording milieu certainly was--and it suggested the next turn Dylan might take.
Free Music Review: Songs that Paint Pictures on the Inside of Your Eyeballs Hit: 5 StarsClose your eyes and listen to "Blonde on Blonde." Every song on the album is so jammed with imagery that they paint pictures on the inside of your eyeballs. Though "Blonde on Blonde" was recorded way back before I was even a twinkle in my daddy's eyes, you can still listen to it today and be amazed. From the first note all the way to the end of "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" this is a record so full in imagery, power and raw poetry that it will never cease to stun. Sooner or Later, if you play Bob Dylan records, you're going to have to admit that this is one of his best.
Free Music Review: One of the most moving pieces of art I know Hit: 5 StarsOne of the most moving pieces of art I know, films, books included. As Dylan said, some of his lyrics he wrote at that time were so gorgeus that it is as if nobody could writ ethem, as if they were written by themselves using him.
I mean, you could have an empty room, a boring day but as you begin to listen to this album everything seems full.
