It would seem that very little of substance is popular in this country today. If Rachmaninoff's music couldn't remain propular, no concert music, no serious music would. In that sense, I suppose I might be- to quote the title of Eric Carmen's rip off of the 2nd Movement of that same Concerto- All By Myself.
It has always been one of my favorites since I first heard it when I was about three years old because my dad played a lot of CLASSICAL music as well as JAZZ and also BIG BAND . We always had great music in our house . My older siblings were buying the Beatle albums right off the presses as soon as they came out as well as the Stones , Cream , you name it .
Love your voice and your music.....you are ONE of the greats of this century. Been listening to you for decades, a gifted artist and a God-given talent. Thank you for your contribution to the music industry. Music keeps me sane.
Mr. Dylan Mr. tambourine man was my favorite song growing up as a little girl in Burbank. Now I have listened to your full moon song as a young lady and I think it is just wonderful.... You are Great and you sound Awesome... I would love to meet you someday!!!
He has NEVER been considered a master at singing. it was his meaningful song-writing and the sort of ugly-but-sincere voice ---The Whole Folk Package-- that he was known for.
@@gardensofthegods Yes, true. So calling him a 'genius' is ALSO subjective. Having said that, many of the 'greatest' songwriters credit Dylan for changing the game, by writing PERSONAL/INDIVIDUAL songs rather than the droll pop stuff that preceded him.
I think I commented this before, but it took me a couple of listens to really love this. I can't get enough of it now. His voice is filled with such feeling. Ugh...
Dylan, the winner of the "Nobel Prize for Literature" in 2016. He is a songwriter, musician, visual artist, performer, etc., of the 20th and 21 st-centuries. Thanks for everything. This song is wonderful. This is so beautiful. Zeine, Bahia, Brazil. .
when frank turned 80 he was feeling a bit down...his wife called bob and bruce springsteen and invited them to the house...bob and bruce hung out with frank and lifted his spirits with their visit....when frank passed away...bob attended his funeral...i love frank and i love bob,.,.and i guarantee...frank would be moved by bobs recording of full moon and empty arms...bobs vocal and the arrangement is touching, emotional, heart felt.
Dylan also sang his own "Restless Farewall" for Frank's birthday. I get that Dylan's voice is an acquired taste in its own right, and applied to these songs many more will just be mystified at the relevance...but to me it's obvious. This is songwriting that moves Dylan, and he wanted to touch on that. Good for him! After all Dylan has done for music, he has utterly nothing left to prove to anyone.
Bill white and women say bill white "hasnt kept it up"....in the bedroom..sorry u cant maintain an erection,.,,try an internal penile pump,,,fucking old fart soon to be RIP...bill white the limpnoodle
Dean Martin Frank passed away because Bob told him he was going to record this song and sang it to him and Frank decided he would not be able to live happily if he ever heard it on radio. Frank, unlike Bob, could sing in tune and was not tone deaf. The pain would have been incredible.
Dylan che interpreta canzoni di altri non è una novità, ma riesce sempre a farlo con una sensibilità ... da genio della musica, riuscendo ad aggiungere atmosfera e pathos, a brani già belli di per sè. Grande! :-)
If you can't hear the beautiful humanity in this, the melancholy, all the information and memory that's packed into each broken note, then you just simply missed it and I'm sorry for you.
With Mr. Dylan, it's always about the feelings. That's what I listen for. This has a melancholy sound that I've heard in some of his other renditions of cover songs. I hate to criticize the music I hear today but much of it lacks feeling or purpose except to sell records. Lots of good musicians but a serious lack of writing skill and singing talent. Maybe something to do with the dead end world we seem to be living in. Everything is for sale and most of it is garbage. Dylan is real to me in a way most of what I see is not. He's not perfect but I don't expect him to be. For those who like to think that they have some right to dislike him, get out there and do something of your own, put yourself on the line. Feel something, that's where your life is.
Plenty to say but do you actually like Bob Dylan ruining this beautiful song ? I have always been a lover of Dylan but sometimes he makes giant size mistakes and this is one of them.
Teddyb1939 As I said, it's about feelings that are brought forth in the song, not about perfection of hitting all the notes. I'll take Dylan over any contemporary singer today. What's a mistake in the world today? Merely singing a few songs that this man loves and the respect he obviously has for Sinatra? It's a bit excessive to call it a giant size mistake, anyway. It's just a record, not the kind of mistakes our government makes. You don't have to listen to it.
J or M Walsh You couldn't be more wrong. He has an ORIGINAL voice, very Jazz influenced...He sings improvisationally, but I admit it's an acquired taste, like all great Jazz or great art. When Miles Davis started, I'm sure he got a lot of the same criticism, As if Dylan were some kind of fluke or joke, C'mon you can't really buy that. You don't like him that's fine, but you don't really understand him do you. Anyway, this is all kind of feeble trolling at this point, you really need to do better.or just piss off.
Full moon and empty arms The moon is there for us to share But where are you? A night like this Could weave a memory And every kiss Could start a dream for two Full moon and empty arms Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon And next full moon If my one wish comes true My empty arms will be filled with you Full moon and empty arms Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon And next full moon If my one wish comes true My empty arms will be filled with you
Thank you very much for the lyrics . Personally I'd rather have my arms filled with tons of cash right now . When I was a little girl my mother told me that during the full moon you're supposed to open up a purse ... and have at least one silver coin in it and say to the Moon : FILL IT UP ! I BELIEVE ! I BELIEVE . Not looking for romance right now but need a ton of money to fight my scumbag brother the millionaire banker he's somehow it illegally put my sister in a nursing home against her will . We don't know how he obtained power of attorney since she said she never signed anything and did not agree to be put in there . For whatever reason he has total contempt for her and it's the last person who should ever have power of attorney over such a delightful , innocent , humble yet magical person . So I will be needing money for the lawyer to fight my rotten brother as well as money to get round-trip airplane tickets to get from Dallas up to Philadelphia and bring her down here . She can stay with me for a while but because of her hearing problems she puts the TV on blast and I need to have quiet when I have to have it . I don't even watch TV and have not had cable service in 4 years . On her disability she only gets $800 a month in food stamps . I can't take all her money to pay her bills ... it's just not fair . So I will have to support her and I'm struggling myself and have Lupus as well as other health problems but no health insurance . I need money for copyrights as I am a writer trying to get published I also write poetry , lyrics , songs . I also am a sculptor and a painter but have not been able to afford any of the supplies I need for these in a very long time . Somehow I have to make it work so that I can give her the life she never had and make up for all the years that should have been better for her . So if I had a choice of the perfect boyfriend or lover or all the cash I need to make my dream come true I'm going for the latter . But for now yes I am experiencing full moon and empty arms ; I can't wait to see my beautiful sister again and hold her in my arms and look her in the eyes .
bill white you so remind me of my dad in the 60's when I started listening to R&R. You could hear his mind slam shut clear across the street. Then as now people are talking about themselves not the music.
Dylan has always had many sides to his tunes and does what he pleases instead of trying to make hit records. Maybe all you people who hate this just aren't fucking old enough to realize that you don't live to serve others and don't care what everyone thinks about you. Open your minds people.
I love Dylan's occasional fragility - none of the manufactured perfection of many great musicians - I'm minded of something Leonard Cohen was told when he complained that he was no real singer - his mentor went, (I'm paraphrasing) "If I want great singing I'll go to the Met. If I want personality i'll happily listen to you." Bob Dylan may have vocal weaknesses from time to time but his over arching personality and what he shares is priceless.
You should remember this, that Bob Dylan is NOW among those Artists who don't look back ! ... "the little wheel spins and spins, while the big wheel goes around and around...
Well, it ain't Sinatra. Thank goodness. I guess I'm one of those people who likes music. If it's well-done, well-sung, well performed I'm on board. I've been riding Dylan's train almost from the beginning and I'll be there at the end - either mine or his. Well done, Bob. Thank you.
swatkiller546 How the fuck can you write such fucking bullshit? I love Dylan as an artist but he is letting himself and everyone else down here. The voice is pathetic. The notation is poor. The breath beneath the voice is unimaginatively bad. WOEful.
Amen Mr Grubbs. I read a Rolling Stone article once and the writer wrote " If Dylan went on tour with a travelin' circus, I would go see him". Been a Dylan fan since 1975 and never look back. If you don't get him, get the Hell out of the way! And don't show up at the San Antonio, Texas show booing your ignorant ass off...Let the Rain fall! My 10th show and counting!! Roe in SA, Texas
Roland Maldonado Great that you like bullshit man. What are you trying to say? Because he wrote a lot of magnificent songs (which he did) he is to be loved for singing this absolute tripe?
This shows respect for Sinatra, one of the greatest at phrasing of all time. It's a challenge for any singer to take it on. Dylan seems to love the depth and breadth of the American songbook, this is part of it, just as is his take on Chess Records, and his earlier takes on folk standards.
What do you people expect? You want Dylan to croon note for note with Sinatra? He couldn't do that in his 20's let alone his 70's. This is a passion project for Bob cause he truly loves Frank and his music. Jesus..ease up. Bob changed popular music as we know it...let's stop treating him like an American Idol contestant and start treating him like an artist that has earned the right to do WHATEVER THE FUCK he wants to. Way to go Bob...sounds good to these ears.
my goodness. such evisceration. so many cruel and hostile things said. bob recorded these intimate renditions because he was moved to do so. if you are moved by listening a connection has been made. such is art. if it's a gift to you receive it. if you think it's rubbish no one makes you listen.
I can certainly agree with those sentiments, Mr. Wilson. The offensive thing for me is those on this page who seek to nullify the opinions of those who don't love Dylan's interpretation here. By all means, people, listen if it pleases you, just don't tell others what cretins they are for not sharing your opinion.
Tony Marcus Oddly enough though, the majority of those treating others like cretins are the ones who don't like Dylan's interpretation. Not to mention the total disrespect for Dylan and his art.
TheSkinnyMoo Hmmm...perhaps we're reading different pages? I see comments like "you just don't get it you twat" and "patheic posers,hosers and wannabees", or, in your case, "you are a narrow-minded purist" directed at those who dare to find this performance less than stellar. All the comments I see from the other perspective are directed at the performance. Many of these comments, like mine, cite Dylan's importance in American music, but find the singing on this number painful. Unless you identify so strongly that you actually believe you ARE Dylan, someone finding that his singing this song lacks that certain everything shouldn't be construed as an attack on you.
Tony Marcus Well, I certainly heard dismissive and demeaning language from fans and non-fans alike. It's the adversarial and personal tone generally that's distressing.
Some people just don't get Dylan- I'm going to go with Dylan's intuition and foresight... And not fair weather fans or people that think they know more about interpreting a song than he does...
In a 1965 Time magazine interview, Dylan sardonically said, "...You have to listen closely, but I hit all those notes". He was sort of poking fun at himself and the interviewer, but it was basically a true statement for me. If he missed, he missed because he wanted to, and with conviction. He's the best singer I've ever heard. Even if the timbre of his voice wasn't your cup of tea, he still sang at the proper pitch. So I'm a bit saddened that he can't hit all the notes anymore. Not only that, but he listened to this, thought it was cool, and let the record company put it out as representative of his upcoming album. Listen to Nettie Moore on Modern Times for an intimately recorded, unbelievably moving song within the limits of his age-ravaged voice (while still hitting the notes). Still a Bob fan forever, but the glorious run may be over.
***** Bob sang several songs well. "Like a Rolling Stone", "All Along the Watchtower", "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" were some of them. Don't get overwhelmed by reputation. He was a fantastic creator and a so-so performer.
Like the other tracks on this new title, this is DREADFUL! If an unknown artist submitted this to a record label, they would laugh him out of the building! Back to some of the classic OLDER, great-sounding Dylan CDs. Sheesh!
Never been a Dylan fan, but this is a bold and brave move, and while it's not something I see myself listening to very often, I do appreciate it. It shows emotion indeed, and that's what really matters in music. Today's music is all perfect and shiny, but has left emotion behind. Music is not about pitch correction or sticking to a grid. Also, I'm all for good singers, but bashing Dylan for his shaky pitch here is pointless. It's like dissing Joy Division because Ian Curtis sang out of tune. That's just not what the music was about. Same goes for Dylan here, albeit in a different context.
Amazing comment I wish this could be used as a way of explaining music and Bob Dylan in general to many others... Honestly that is a fantastic way to put it.
I like Dylan's voice ... sometimes things that are polished are not always that beautiful because they can become all too common ... perhaps with the exception of the Angelic voice of Jackie Evancho
A shout out to Paul who nailed it to a barn door in the pouring rain outside of who knows where,let's say Hibbing.Well said my friend in Dylanesque. There r many lives to Bob and this is just the latest.I hope I get to hear the next one sung by Mr.D.Just to back up read the Lives of Bob Dylan by a guy named Bell.Peter behind my Judy
Bob has done it! This album is beautiful. I love the different arrangement. It's so poignant. As far as his voice goes, it's wonderful. Haters are gonna hate so just don't listen to the damn album then!!!!
Dylan is another universe. He does not give a good goddamn if people prefer Sinatra's style. It will be some time out of their minds before these tin eared critics quit booing and hooing, crying in their Indian gin, disembark their sinking Titanics to receive Dylan's melodic shelter against the stormy seas of patheic posers,hosers and wannabees. They didnt like him when he plugged in at Newport and now they dont want him to do anything but play the "golden oldies" of their miss spent youth. Every day is another revolution man.
The tin eared are the ones who can't hear that the cat can't sing at all. I love this repertoire AND I love many of the songs Dylan has written. If you're going to interpret songs that have been masterfully sung by others, it's incumbent on you to bring something new to them, and by that I don't mean crappy intonation. I realize there are those who will worship anything the guy does. You are of course welcome to do so, just don't condemn those whose opinions differ. You show your own narrowness by doing so.
Paul Grubbs I'm from the planet where people are allowed to hold differing opinions. I'd suggest you visit it someday. It's a far nicer place than the fascist one you apparently inhabit.
I respect Bob Dylan's will to record an album of this kind of covers that obviously must mean something to him. Still, what he did from Love and Theft on is, in my humble opinion, among the best he's ever made, save for the Christmas experiment, I guess (and maybe I should call this an experiment too?). Hence, I'd welcome new originals more warmly. I may not buy this album. But, hey, it's just my personal opinion and Dylan has my respect for doing precisely what he wants. Let's just hope he remains with us for long enough years to offer us great originals as he's been doing throughout several parts of his career and, to me (many may disagree) especially during this century of mostly empty music where he's been one of the few oasis.
Bill white Which comment do you deem pathetic? Mine? I'm expressing my views and I hope you're democratic enough to accept them. Otherwise, your five words look pathetic.
Jorge Simoes Firstly, you can't even count. I wrote six words. OK, I'll add to that, if you were to actually navigate the page you'd see that I replied to michael clarke. Now to get on with it: "I respect Bob Dylan's will to record an album of this kind of covers that obviously must mean something to him." is what you wrote. What a piece of shite! He's recording a few songs for a few mega dollars and he is singing this BADLY! Go for it! Express your views and come across as a complete bloody fool. Yes man, I'm democratic. Sure am. Make another stupid comment. I'm all for it.
Bill white Ok, I can't count (I'm not even checking) and I didn't notice you'd replied to someone else because it all goes to my mail. But you're ranting and you come out as way too cynical. I guess I won't be poorer if I buy this record too, your words make me want to buy it. Have a nice day! :)
This musical theme was taken from the third movement of Rachmaninoff's piano concerto #2. This concerto was very popular in America in the 50's.
Completamente de acuerdo
It would seem that very little of substance is popular in this country today. If Rachmaninoff's music couldn't remain propular, no concert music, no serious music would.

It is still popular and will always be. It's the most beautiful piano concerto.
i been a Bob fan for over 40 yrs THIS has my Blessings~ You to Bob!
He makes every song he sings interesting, and full of feeling with the mystery that is him.

Full moon and empty arms
The moon is there for us to share
But where are you?
A night like this
Could weave a memory
And every kiss
Could start a dream for two
Full moon and empty arms
Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon
And next full moon
If my one wish comes true
My empty arms will be filled with you
Full moon and empty arms
Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon
And next full moon
If my one wish comes true
My empty arms will be filled with you
Thank you very much for the lyrics .
Personally I'd rather have my arms filled with tons of cash right now .
When I was a little girl my mother told me that during the full moon you're supposed to open up a purse ... and have at least one silver coin in it and say to the Moon :
FILL IT UP !
I BELIEVE ! I BELIEVE .
Not looking for romance right now but need a ton of money to fight my scumbag brother the millionaire banker he's somehow it illegally put my sister in a nursing home against her will .
We don't know how he obtained power of attorney since she said she never signed anything and did not agree to be put in there .
For whatever reason he has total contempt for her and it's the last person who should ever have power of attorney over such a delightful , innocent , humble yet magical person .
So I will be needing money for the lawyer to fight my rotten brother as well as money to get round-trip airplane tickets to get from Dallas up to Philadelphia and bring her down here .
She can stay with me for a while but because of her hearing problems she puts the TV on blast and I need to have quiet when I have to have it .
I don't even watch TV and have not had cable service in 4 years .
On her disability she only gets $800 a month in food stamps .
I can't take all her money to pay her bills ... it's just not fair .
So I will have to support her and I'm struggling myself and have Lupus as well as other health problems but no health insurance .
I need money for copyrights as I am a writer trying to get published I also write poetry , lyrics , songs .
I also am a sculptor and a painter but have not been able to afford any of the supplies I need for these in a very long time .
Somehow I have to make it work so that I can give her the life she never had and make up for all the years that should have been better for her .
So if I had a choice of the perfect boyfriend or lover or all the cash I need to make my dream come true I'm going for the latter .
But for now yes I am experiencing full moon and empty arms ; I can't wait to see my beautiful sister again and hold her in my arms and look her in the eyes .
I love the recording of Full Moon And Empty Arms. Dylan rediscovered a hidden gem.

Dylan will never be known as a vocalist, but this is his best singing since "Lay Lady Lay." He really can sing well when he tries, which is rare
Dylan has always had many sides to his tunes and does what he pleases instead of trying to make hit records. Maybe all you people who hate this just aren't fucking old enough to realize that you don't live to serve others and don't care what everyone thinks about you. Open your minds people.

Well, it ain't Sinatra. Thank goodness. I guess I'm one of those people who likes music. If it's well-done, well-sung, well performed I'm on board. I've been riding Dylan's train almost from the beginning and I'll be there at the end - either mine or his. Well done, Bob. Thank you.
Roll on Bob roll on... It's your life. And what a life it's been. 💙
I love Dylan no matter what he does...He is a gift from God......
swatkiller546 How the fuck can you write such fucking bullshit? I love Dylan as an artist but he is letting himself and everyone else down here. The voice is pathetic. The notation is poor. The breath beneath the voice is unimaginatively bad. WOEful.
I like these Recordings very much !
Amen Mr Grubbs. I read a Rolling Stone article once and the writer wrote " If Dylan went on tour with a travelin' circus, I would go see him". Been a Dylan fan since 1975 and never look back. If you don't get him, get the Hell out of the way! And don't show up at the San Antonio, Texas show booing your ignorant ass off...Let the Rain fall! My 10th show and counting!! Roe in SA, Texas
Roland Maldonado Great that you like bullshit man. What are you trying to say? Because he wrote a lot of magnificent songs (which he did) he is to be loved for singing this absolute tripe?
Bill white Ahhh Yes Exactly right. Like loving a BIG Bowl of Menudo!!!! Bob Dylan = Menudo. Nice comparison Mr Blanco...
I like the arrangement for this track. Love that Dylan paid tribute to Sinatra and the standards with his recent albums!
If only it had stopped at 2:19. The torture just went on! Tomorrow I'll post where the most out of key parts were. TH-cam's page will be overloaded.
❤❤❤Bob Dylan ❤❤❤
What a sad song, my God...
cant wait for the full album!!!!!
Greetings from Peru
His voice has only gotten better with age. I love his speaking voice too.
This shows respect for Sinatra, one of the greatest at phrasing of all time. It's a challenge for any singer to take it on. Dylan seems to love the depth and breadth of the American songbook, this is part of it, just as is his take on Chess Records, and his earlier takes on folk standards.
Growing on me every day
nice one, Bob.
amor,amor!
☺
Always liked Frank, always still like Bob. Some just don't get it & that's OK, I don't get Beiber.
That's a good sound for Dylan. Very enjoyable!

LOL
you are not alone lol
are there more than the 2 songs on youtube that I can listen to? he sounds great to me...
Rachmaninoff.
Congratulations! You are the only who has recognised the real music of this song... Rachmaninoff, the greatest!
@@jadesjavier ...no, not the only one.
Bob Dylan's Not Dead Yet ❣ ☮
What do you people expect? You want Dylan to croon note for note with Sinatra? He couldn't do that in his 20's let alone his 70's. This is a passion project for Bob cause he truly loves Frank and his music. Jesus..ease up. Bob changed popular music as we know it...let's stop treating him like an American Idol contestant and start treating him like an artist that has earned the right to do WHATEVER THE FUCK he wants to. Way to go Bob...sounds good to these ears.
I just LOVE This
alan christon And what do you eat? I can't imagine.
After repeated listens I can't shake the image of Bogart and film noir. That's not a bad thing....
yes
3年ぶり36作目のアルバム『SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT』が2月4日にリリースされますね！全編カバーの作品となるようですが、この曲からも伝わってくるようにあたたかみのあるサウンドに仕上がっていそうですので、ものすごく楽しみです。
oh! This is the album of Standards I heard about! cool He has done another absolutely wonderful ting!
my goodness. such evisceration. so many cruel and hostile things said. bob recorded these intimate renditions because he was moved to do so. if you are moved by listening a connection has been made. such is art. if it's a gift to you receive it. if you think it's rubbish no one makes you listen.
Amen
I can certainly agree with those sentiments, Mr. Wilson. The offensive thing for me is those on this page who seek to nullify the opinions of those who don't love Dylan's interpretation here. By all means, people, listen if it pleases you, just don't tell others what cretins they are for not sharing your opinion.
Tony Marcus Oddly enough though, the majority of those treating others like cretins are the ones who don't like Dylan's interpretation. Not to mention the total disrespect for Dylan and his art.

Hmmm...perhaps we're reading different pages? I see comments like "you just don't get it you twat" and "patheic posers,hosers and wannabees", or, in your case, "you are a narrow-minded purist" directed at those who dare to find this performance less than stellar. All the comments I see from the other perspective are directed at the performance. Many of these comments, like mine, cite Dylan's importance in American music, but find the singing on this number painful. Unless you identify so strongly that you actually believe you ARE Dylan, someone finding that his singing this song lacks that certain everything shouldn't be construed as an attack on you.
Tony Marcus Well, I certainly heard dismissive and demeaning language from fans and non-fans alike. It's the adversarial and personal tone generally that's distressing.
Dylan sings Rachmaninoff!
Some people just don't get Dylan- I'm going to go with Dylan's intuition and foresight... And not fair weather fans or people that think they know more about interpreting a song than he does...
In a 1965 Time magazine interview, Dylan sardonically said, "...You have to listen closely, but I hit all those notes". He was sort of poking fun at himself and the interviewer, but it was basically a true statement for me. If he missed, he missed because he wanted to, and with conviction. He's the best singer I've ever heard. Even if the timbre of his voice wasn't your cup of tea, he still sang at the proper pitch. So I'm a bit saddened that he can't hit all the notes anymore. Not only that, but he listened to this, thought it was cool, and let the record company put it out as representative of his upcoming album. Listen to Nettie Moore on Modern Times for an intimately recorded, unbelievably moving song within the limits of his age-ravaged voice (while still hitting the notes). Still a Bob fan forever, but the glorious run may be over.
***** Bob sang several songs well. "Like a Rolling Stone", "All Along the Watchtower", "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" were some of them. Don't get overwhelmed by reputation. He was a fantastic creator and a so-so performer.
***** Well said mate. I love the guy as a songwriter. Will never stop.
beautiful.

❤❤❤
Since I don't see my post, I'll repeat. I love the fact that he couldn't care less and just does what he wants.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
❤️❤️❤️
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Just Bob. Great!
The 1800s called and they want this album back.
Like the other tracks on this new title, this is DREADFUL! If an unknown artist submitted this to a record label, they would laugh him out of the building!
Back to some of the classic OLDER, great-sounding Dylan CDs. Sheesh!
Never been a Dylan fan, but this is a bold and brave move, and while it's not something I see myself listening to very often, I do appreciate it.
It shows emotion indeed, and that's what really matters in music. Today's music is all perfect and shiny, but has left emotion behind. Music is not about pitch correction or sticking to a grid.
Also, I'm all for good singers, but bashing Dylan for his shaky pitch here is pointless. It's like dissing Joy Division because Ian Curtis sang out of tune. That's just not what the music was about. Same goes for Dylan here, albeit in a different context.
Amazing comment I wish this could be used as a way of explaining music and Bob Dylan in general to many others... Honestly that is a fantastic way to put it.
Its terrible... and I'm a Dylan fan...
I like Dylan's voice ... sometimes things that are polished are not always that beautiful because they can become all too common ... perhaps with the exception of the Angelic voice of Jackie Evancho
A shout out to Paul who nailed it to a barn door in the pouring rain outside of who knows where,let's say Hibbing.Well said my friend in Dylanesque. There r many lives to Bob and this is just the latest.I hope I get to hear the next one sung by Mr.D.Just to back up read the Lives of Bob Dylan by a guy named Bell.Peter behind my Judy
Bob has done it! This album is beautiful. I love the different arrangement. It's so poignant. As far as his voice goes, it's wonderful. Haters are gonna hate so just don't listen to the damn album then!!!!
Elizabeth Simpson It's poignant because of your personality. As far as his voice goes, it's a result of your tone deafness.
Bill white Gee Bill thanks!
Dylan is another universe. He does not give a good goddamn if people prefer Sinatra's style. It will be some time out of their minds before these tin eared critics quit booing and hooing, crying in their Indian gin, disembark their sinking Titanics to receive Dylan's melodic shelter against the stormy seas of patheic posers,hosers and wannabees. They didnt like him when he plugged in at Newport and now they dont want him to do anything but play the "golden oldies" of their miss spent youth. Every day is another revolution man.
The tin eared are the ones who can't hear that the cat can't sing at all. I love this repertoire AND I love many of the songs Dylan has written. If you're going to interpret songs that have been masterfully sung by others, it's incumbent on you to bring something new to them, and by that I don't mean crappy intonation. I realize there are those who will worship anything the guy does. You are of course welcome to do so, just don't condemn those whose opinions differ. You show your own narrowness by doing so.
Tony Marcus obviously you and I are from different planets. Let me guess- Uranus?
Paul Grubbs
I'm from the planet where people are allowed to hold differing opinions. I'd suggest you visit it someday. It's a far nicer place than the fascist one you apparently inhabit.
Apparently you think I give a shit.
Paul Grubbs
Why, no. It's absolutely clear that you don't have the capacity to.
He is a blues singer for sure.
I respect Bob Dylan's will to record an album of this kind of covers that obviously must mean something to him. Still, what he did from Love and Theft on is, in my humble opinion, among the best he's ever made, save for the Christmas experiment, I guess (and maybe I should call this an experiment too?). Hence, I'd welcome new originals more warmly. I may not buy this album. But, hey, it's just my personal opinion and Dylan has my respect for doing precisely what he wants. Let's just hope he remains with us for long enough years to offer us great originals as he's been doing throughout several parts of his career and, to me (many may disagree) especially during this century of mostly empty music where he's been one of the few oasis.
Indeed.
michael clarke I truly detest such pathetic comments.
Bill white Which comment do you deem pathetic? Mine? I'm expressing my views and I hope you're democratic enough to accept them. Otherwise, your five words look pathetic.
Jorge Simoes Firstly, you can't even count. I wrote six words. OK, I'll add to that, if you were to actually navigate the page you'd see that I replied to michael clarke. Now to get on with it: "I respect Bob Dylan's will to record an album of this kind of covers that obviously must mean something to him." is what you wrote. What a piece of shite! He's recording a few songs for a few mega dollars and he is singing this BADLY! Go for it! Express your views and come across as a complete bloody fool. Yes man, I'm democratic. Sure am. Make another stupid comment. I'm all for it.
Bill white Ok, I can't count (I'm not even checking) and I didn't notice you'd replied to someone else because it all goes to my mail. But you're ranting and you come out as way too cynical. I guess I won't be poorer if I buy this record too, your words make me want to buy it. Have a nice day! :)
