Dylan made his voice do whatever served the song best, so there are all kinds of Dylan vocals, up front and forceful, soft and smooth, narrative, jaunty and tongue-in-cheek, name an emotion and there's a great song and performance to match.
Yep. Every time I hear someone say that they don't like Dylan's voice, I ask myself, "Which one?". He's had, by a conservative count, at least twelve distinctly different singing voices over his 60+ year career.
You've chosen the deepest rabbit hole of all to go down. The quality of the man's catalogue is unmatched. From the early 1960's up until now, there's just great song after great song. Dylan is without peer as a songwriter and arguably the most important musical artist of all time.
Dylan has one of the most versatile and expressive voices in music. It is the perfect instrument for his beautiful song/poems. It differs from album to album and style to style he is an evolving performing artist. There are more singers emulating his vocals than there were for Frank Sinatra.
It might be apocryphal, but I heard once that Woody Guthrie once opined that Dylan would become a huge success not in spite of his voice, but because of it. I agree with you completely - absolutely adore his voice, and its endless varieties.
Absolutely. There never has been (and never will be) anything that comes close to sounding like him. I just saw him live in Fort Myers, and he still got his signature Dylan flare.
The same was true of Gilbert Gottfried. I wouldn't want to hear him sing. 😁 I like Dylan's voice in a lot of songs, but there are some where it doesn't work with that particular song.
11:55 This is the epiphany that many people eventually get. He is original and soulful and a very imaginative poet. Once you "get it" you're hooked forever. There is indeed something special about Bob Dylan. He is "lightening in a bottle".
I love Dylan. From his voice to his guitar and harmonica are amazing. And his songwriting is totally genius. I think his voice is perfect for his music and adds a new dimension to his music.
One of my favourite Dylan songs is "Most of the Time". When my wife died this song meant a lot to me. The line " Mosty of the time, I don't run and hide, Hide from the feelings I've buried inside, Most of the Time". Got me crying again. Thank you Bob Dylan
Joyce Carol Oates said when she first heard him "it's as if sandpaper could sing". And I've never heard a better description of his singing style. If this is your first exposure to Dylan you really need to go down that rabbit hole. His prowess as a story teller is unparalleled.
His voice got better over the years. He was an self trained vocalist. When he first started he had a very nasal New York accent but he always made it work for him. He is songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and harmonica player all at once. His songs are anthems to an American age now passed but still here in so many ways. He has a huge number of songs that have been major hits for himself and others. So his voice isn't humanly perfect, neither is mine and I did vocals in bands as well. He signaled a weather change at the Newport Folk and Jazz Festival when he played his entire set with an electric guitar angering many of his fans unable to see the future rushing at them. The man has played with damn near everybody at one time or another and is an absolute legend, deservedly so, in music and will always command a major place in musical history.
Loved this… I’ve always been fascinated by the love of Bob Dylan voice.. but always so very curious and did notice his beautiful poetry.. so glad I got this video and with your post I’m stepping into the Bob Dylan journey with optimism and a new perspective! Thank you!!🙏
@@tonyharmon8512 He was a bit of a mimic and was whatever and whoever he wanted to be at the time. All great artists are like this to some extent. I imagine that he badly wanted to fit in to the NYC folk scene when he arrived so he adopted a NYC accent. It worked.
@@stevendoran877 "When he first started he had a very nasal New York accent but he always made it work for him" Silly take. Dylan was from MN and was doing his best to steal from roots Americana artists like Leadbelly, Guthrie and deep Appalaichain artists he devoured, and pretended he was a hobo from flyover country, in order to look authentically roots to the yuppie New York City audiences who were into folk at the time. The last thing he was doing was trying to pick up a New York accent.
One of the most shocking things to me when I discovered bob Dylan years ago is how much he does live, and how much he changes his lyrics and experiments between different shows. A true artist.
And that holds especially for this song. On tour when he sang Tangled almost nightly, he also varied the lyrics just as frequently. Still the same story basically, and similar scenes, but cast in another town, and so on. Also kept the brilliant off-balance trick of using both 1st and 3rd person for the main male character.
I find the imperfections in Dylans singing joyful , haha. In the midst of a very thoughtful song there will be a turn of phrase or pronunciation that will bring a true smile to my face and chuckle in my soul, and it's a double whammie that tickles my heart and my mind.
The thing I am most proud of Bob for was his standing there in front of so many gathered at the March on Washington and dropping a song he wrote about the death of Medgar Evers who was murdered 2 months prior. Huge stones. “Just a Pawn in Their Game.”
I always liked Bob Dylan. I'm 73 and thought I listened to everything he sang but I've never heard that Tangled Up Blues. It must have been an extra song on one of his albums.
And you haven't heard another 50 or 100 of Dylan's top songs and the greatest lyrics ever written. Interpreting his meaning is a never ending challenge.
Thanks for your perceptive and informative commentary on Bob's voice, Maggie. I've been listening to him for 60 years, and I regard him as a brilliant vocalist. His exquisite phrasing, remarkable timing, and incredible capacity to explore and express emotional depths is unparalleled. And btw, to speak about Bob Dylan's "voice" is misleading in the extreme. On his recordings, he has revealed at least 20 different voices: he is the ultimate vocal chameleon. Tom Wilson, who produced some of Bob's best early work, felt that Dylan was a great blues singer, and that, "he could become a white Ray Charles." Listen to "She Belongs To Me" on "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (1965)--the last Dylan album Tom produced--and you will understand why he said that about Dylan's singing. As much as I love this version of "Tangled Up In Blue," it doesn't even begin to approach the brilliance and the power of the performance I saw him give at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in 1998. His band was fantastic--and especially the drummer, David Kemper, on that song--and Bob built the momentum of the performance in such a remarkable fashion that it felt like he was going to blow the roof off the building. And then he played the best harmonica solo I've ever heard him play (and I've seen him in concert 17 times). I've been tangled up in blue for a long time, and I'm never quitting this gig.
Bob sings, plays guitar and harmonica on his songs. Although backed by great musicians for most of his career, he is more than capable of captivating an audience for an evening, all by himself...
His voice has varied with time. After the motorcycle accident he took vocal lessons, stopped smoking tobacco, and turned down the backup volume. As a result it was less strained, and less dramatic from John Wesley Harding through the 70s. Age has caused a change in voice since then. Mind you I enjoyed his vocals even with smoking and a loud backup band.
Dylan and Petty toured together quite often . I saw them in concert in 1986. they were both members of the Traveling Wilburys group with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn and Jim Keltner on drums
Dylan's idol was folk singer Woody Guthrie and his singing style emulates that. After his motorcycle accident during his comeback he sang with a much different style briefly (Nashville Skyline).
The guy who said he shouldn't have gone electric needs his head checked .. some of his best came after that...and his singing is like no other . . Perfect. 😮.btw you have such beautiful hair , you are exactly right about Dylan and his great voice .. been a fan for over 50 yrs .. my older brother and his friends were big fans back in the 60s..
More! Dylan is a great vocalist and a great storyteller. Rock has demonstrated that the canvas for vocals is wide and deep. If you think everyone has to have the same qualities when they sing well, argue for your limitations and you shall have them.
Tangled up in blue a life that has flowed through so many different loves to complicated to figure out mostly tragic an untyable knot that is just saddening to contemplate but you can’t stop thinking about it.There is one that is the one / seen in retrospect and he wants it back
His delivery and phrasing are insane he can sing sadness like nobody else can, the Imagery in his writing is like a film coming out of your speakers.Tom Petty had a similar sound, Tom was a fan and friend of Dylan, in theTravelling wilburys together, i think he's the most important artist on the planet at the moment, painter, Welder Sculptor, author, Dj, actor, still touring and releasing albums at the age of 82, 83 24th may, if you get into Dylan you go deep and will come out the other end insane. Love the man
Bob Dylan has one of the most important voices in the past century. It was/is perfect to get his lyrics out. Hundreds have tried to copy it, including Tom Petty.
Bob Dylan recommend songs: of "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Mr. Tambourine Man, The Times They Are a-Changin', Visions Of Johanna or Dylan best Vocal performance Pretty Saro or Lay Lady Lay, or Civil rights movement songs like The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll / Emmett Till, blowing in the wind or some love songs Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right or Boots of Spanish Leather , or traditional Corinna, Corinna or House Of The Rising Sun
Bob had a way with emphasis....either one word or an entire phrase or line, he could "make" you feel what he want you to feel and understand...genius. As far as the "blue" part, haven't you ever felt a little or a lot "blue"? Melancholy, sad or lonely? Well he was tangled up in that emotion. Here is another clever phrase from Bob; "I got mixed up confusion" (Man, it’s a-killing me Well, there’s too many people And they’re all too hard to please).
Great song to kick off your Dylan reaction journey. Endless catalog. "Like a Rolling Stone" The times they are a changing", "Hurricane", just to get you started. So may more. Enjoy!
Don't forget dylan came out before the beatles, In nineteen sixty his voice was extremely out of the ordinary because most groups you heard were manufactured by studios
Bob and Tom Petty were in a "supergroup" - the Traveling Wilburys dominated popular music in 1988-89. They shared a microphone and sang some duet sections in different songs. Other members of the group were Beatle George Harrison, Roy Orbison and ELO's Jeff Lynne. Unfortunately Roy Orbison passed away that prompted the others to leave the Wilburys behind.
I love Dylans voice. It's unique. No one sounds quite like Bob. A good friend of mine refuses to listen to Dylan, he can't stand his voice. I can see what people dont like about his voice but that's what makes it so good.
Dylan's music...Layer on layer, multiple metaphors..."I must have looked a little uneasy when she bent down to tie my shoe", She was not tying his shoe...She was further tangling him up in blue!
I love Dylan's voice ... wouldn't want his music any other way. 🕊☮🕊☮ Do, do, do, do more Bob. Everyone should hear the music that also gave him a Nobel Literature award, music that was emblematic of the civil rights movement of the 60''s.
Nobel Prize Winner, Kenney Center Honoree, Oscar Winner, Grammy's for whatever songs. Vocals should not be discussed. Its the writing. Its Bob Dyaln. Icon. I'm sure you've heard more of his music. How is possible that you've not heard Dylan before? Really?
Love you for doing this song! ❤Also, all your other awesome reactions I've been subscribed for years to enjoy. 🤍 TY!!! Do not be embarrassed! Dylan is a master poet, lyricist, and performer, but everyone SINGS Dylan better than Dylan. (except for "It's Alright Ma..." and maybe "Mr. Tamborene Man") YOU ROCK!
Sorry, missed your post... Side bar : one of the best songs ever written.. Young BOB brings it....let's go.😊...JGB does the best version ❤... Tangled up in blue.......love lost.. missed opportunity for better..damn.. I just let it go through my fingers....just ask Jerry Garcia
The greatest and most influential songwriter of the last 60 years, that's who he is. And to cite from one his Best of Albums: Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan. Perfect for his songs. And please check "Like a Rolling Stone", for a long time Rolling Stone Magazines No.1 on the 500 best songs of all time. By now at No.4

there are two types of people - those who love Dylan, and those who are wrong
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very funny, and very true.
I feel sorry for those who don't get Dylan. They are truly missing out on greatness.
Damn straight. 😊
Count me in the love him group. I've seen him live twice, fantastic.
Correct
Dylan's voice is perfect for his writing. Blood on the Tracks is a masterpiece.
His voice is perfect for his lyrics? What else would you expect? Have you ever heard a singer’s lyrics that didn’t match a singer’s voice?
@@DJ-bj8ku Tons of (in my opinion, incorrect) people say that covers of Dylan's songs are always better than the originals.
I agree this album is great, but would prefer he not have included Idiot Wind.
@@stlmopoetI love Idiot Wind
@@foxandscout Glad you enjoy it. Just not a song I like
People complain about Dylan’s voice, but he probably has the best phrasing in rock music.
all male singers take their cues from Dylan or Morrison
So true.
You've chosen the deepest rabbit hole of all to go down. The quality of the man's catalogue is unmatched. From the early 1960's up until now, there's just great song after great song. Dylan is without peer as a songwriter and arguably the most important musical artist of all time.

Bob Dylan is known for his singing and the way he enunciates his words. People who say he can't sing don't know anything about good music.
The thing I like about Bob Dylan's voice is as soon as you hear it you know it's Bob Dylan.
Absolutely. There never has been (and never will be) anything that comes close to sounding like him. I just saw him live in Fort Myers, and he still got his signature Dylan flare.

I like Dylan's voice in a lot of songs, but there are some where it doesn't work with that particular song.
@@stlmopoet I can understand that for sure.
Which is why I have trepidation about the Dylan biopic. Chalamet sounds nothing like him.
We're talking Bob Dylan. A living iconic legend. One of the top sellers of albums of all time.
Lyrically one of my favorites
Yes, Dylan had a lousy singing voice TBH, but that is one dimension, and he was a great songwriter and lyricist.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone on first listen to BD seem to totally get it. Good for you.
One of my favourite Dylan songs is "Most of the Time". When my wife died this song meant a lot to me. The line
" Mosty of the time,
I don't run and hide,
Hide from the feelings I've buried inside,
Most of the Time".
Got me crying again. Thank you Bob Dylan
That's a great one. Also from the same album Shooting Star.

Interesting because he was from Minnesota
@@stevendoran877 Doesn't stop him from picking up the accent. It was a very nasal accent.

HIGHLY recommend It's Alright Ma I'm Only Bleeding
It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding
His vocals are genius, and it works with everything he ever has put together together and composed and written
Dylan is my favorite singer songwriter of all time and its not even close
I love his voice and the way he uses it. So expressive. Have loved him since I was 15, in '67.
I've loved Dylan's voice for nearly 60 years and it's too late to stop now.
Van the Man!
That whole LP (Blood On The Tracks) was Epic! 👌
I find the imperfections in Dylans singing joyful , haha. In the midst of a very thoughtful song there will be a turn of phrase or pronunciation that will bring a true smile to my face and chuckle in my soul, and it's a double whammie that tickles my heart and my mind.

One of my favorites by Dylan.
I first heard His Bobness when I was about 5 or 6 and I have loved his songwriting and voice ever since
The allusion to Dante and Beatrice is epic. Love is sacred, however profane we may be.
I always liked Bob Dylan. I'm 73 and thought I listened to everything he sang but I've never heard that Tangled Up Blues. It must have been an extra song on one of his albums.
It’s a major from Blood on the Tracks, one of his best albums.
@@lizmil I must have been gone for a couple years at that time.
I likeBob Dylan’s vocals.

After 50 years I still consider this to be "Bob's new album"! LOL
If you like his storytelling you might enjoy "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts."
Absolutely agree with yooooouuuuuu,,,, tangled up in Bluuuueeee
Any and all Dylan tunes are so unique, original, pure, raw. Great storyteller. My favorite of all time.
Bob sings, plays guitar and harmonica on his songs. Although backed by great musicians for most of his career, he is more than capable of captivating an audience for an evening, all by himself...
Tangled up in Blue is just a poetic way of saying he has the blues.
His voice has varied with time. After the motorcycle accident he took vocal lessons, stopped smoking tobacco, and turned down the backup volume. As a result it was less strained, and less dramatic from John Wesley Harding through the 70s. Age has caused a change in voice since then.

His song Shelter From The Storm.
"You are a beautiful woman ...do not be deceived by this band!'
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who love and appreciate Dylan's vocals and idiots.
Dylan and Petty toured together quite often . I saw them in concert in 1986. they were both members of the Traveling Wilburys group with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn and Jim Keltner on drums
I think Bob is recalling past lovers and breakups in response to Joni Mitchell's Blue album full of songs about past lovers and breakups.
Interesting! Never thought of that but it makes sense
One of my all time favorite song. Top four easily.
The words and the voice are what make Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan
Tangled up in Blue...I took it to mean feeling blue, the blues, depression.
saw Dylan in ATl when i was 13 in 1988!!!!! first concert!!!! love him!!
He was one of the best songwriters ever. Not a big fan of his but can't deny talent when you see it.
Dylan's idol was folk singer Woody Guthrie and his singing style emulates that. After his motorcycle accident during his comeback he sang with a much different style briefly (Nashville Skyline).
the GOAT
@11:10 for the actual reaction 🫠
Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter since he started if not of all time. And that’s a fact, love him or hate him
I grew up with his music and always loved everything about him
The guy who said he shouldn't have gone electric needs his head checked .. some of his best came after that...and his singing is like no other . . Perfect. 😮.btw you have such beautiful hair , you are exactly right about Dylan and his great voice .. been a fan for over 50 yrs .. my older brother and his friends were big fans back in the 60s..
Bob is one of America"s greatest poets
Great reaction..
Keep digging..
Bob is..

Dylan is a great vocalist and a great storyteller. Rock has demonstrated that the canvas for vocals is wide and deep. If you think everyone has to have the same qualities when they sing well, argue for your limitations and you shall have them.
Tangled up in blue a life that has flowed through so many different loves to complicated to figure out mostly tragic an untyable knot that is just saddening to contemplate but you can’t stop thinking about it.There is one that is the one / seen in retrospect and he wants it back
Congratulations....you are now a Bob Dylan fan, ha. He is absolutely Unique and he's in 80's and still touring. Loved world wide.
Tangled up in blue is the "feels" the "blues feeling"
Dylan was a big fan of Joni Mitchel's album Blue and returned to it at this time when his marriage was falling apart.
His delivery and phrasing are insane he can sing sadness like nobody else can, the Imagery in his writing is like a film coming out of your speakers.Tom Petty had a similar sound, Tom was a fan and friend of Dylan, in theTravelling wilburys together,
i think he's the most important artist on the planet at the moment, painter, Welder Sculptor, author, Dj, actor, still touring and releasing albums at the age of 82, 83 24th may, if you get into Dylan you go deep and will come out the other end insane. Love the man
Dylan was also a modern poet. He reminded me a little of Woody Guthrie, when Woody Guthrie was younger. He was a traveling man.
Bob Dylan has one of the most important voices in the past century. It was/is perfect to get his lyrics out. Hundreds have tried to copy it, including Tom Petty.
Bob Dylan recommend songs: of "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Mr. Tambourine Man, The Times They Are a-Changin', Visions Of Johanna or Dylan best Vocal performance Pretty Saro or Lay Lady Lay, or Civil rights movement songs like The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll / Emmett Till, blowing in the wind or some love songs Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right or Boots of Spanish Leather , or traditional Corinna, Corinna or House Of The Rising Sun
It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding is awesome
Grew up in the 60's with Dylan, Blood on the Tracks was his Masterpiece!!!
Bob had a way with emphasis....either one word or an entire phrase or line, he could "make" you feel what he want you to feel and understand...genius. As far as the "blue" part, haven't you ever felt a little or a lot "blue"? Melancholy, sad or lonely? Well he was tangled up in that emotion. Here is another clever phrase from Bob; "I got mixed up confusion" (Man, it’s a-killing me Well, there’s too many people And they’re all too hard to please).
A good singer indeed, stand by that all my live.
The phrase "Tangled up in Blue" means whatever you want it to mean. Its artistic expression. Probably some kind of sweet sentimental sadness.
Like Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" or Picasso's "Blue Period".
Great song to kick off your Dylan reaction journey. Endless catalog. "Like a Rolling Stone" The times they are a changing", "Hurricane", just to get you started. So may more. Enjoy!
Blue is often related to melancholy but Blue is also the colour of integerity.
Actually this song is in response to Joni’s Blue album.
Yes ma'am...you got it...
Bob's sound??..'a voice from you and me'...!!!!
Don't forget dylan came out before the beatles, In nineteen sixty his voice was extremely out of the ordinary because most groups you heard were manufactured by studios
"Tangled up in blue"...i always thought it meant, like , the blues, an allusion to the blues...sorrow...depression, lost love...that kinda thing.
Actually this song is a response to Joni Mitchell’s Blue album.
@@DJ-bj8ku I doubt that. Where did you hear that info?
Vincent, same here. He was going through the divorce and he's tangled up in "the blues". Just my opinion, of course.
@@DJ-bj8ku I googled it, you may be right after all. I'll have to do more research. Very interesting.
Dylan doesn’t try to be a vocalist, he is singing his poetry in his own way.
could you imagine elvis singing his songs youll never get the same meaning
Bob and Tom Petty were in a "supergroup" - the Traveling Wilburys dominated popular music in 1988-89. They shared a microphone and sang some duet sections in different songs. Other members of the group were Beatle George Harrison, Roy Orbison and ELO's Jeff Lynne. Unfortunately Roy Orbison passed away that prompted the others to leave the Wilburys behind.

He had the blues and he was tangled up in his blues 👍🏻
I’ve always loved Bob’s voice. Even now, changes with the decades.
He won a Grammy for best vocalist.
I love his voice!
Blue is the mood of it all
Bob has sung in so many voices just not traditional. My personal all-time favorite artist
I had this album on 8-track in 1975 and it's still in my car on CD. Some of Bob's best songwriting.
I love Dylan's voice ... wouldn't want his music any other way. 🕊☮🕊☮ Do, do, do, do more Bob. Everyone should hear the music that also gave him a Nobel Literature award, music that was emblematic of the civil rights movement of the 60''s.
Nobel Prize Winner, Kenney Center Honoree, Oscar Winner, Grammy's for whatever songs. Vocals should not be discussed. Its the writing. Its Bob Dyaln. Icon. I'm sure you've heard more of his music. How is possible that you've not heard Dylan before? Really?
My all time favorite Dylan song!
Tangled up in blue is the best of Bob Dylan!!!
His voice certainly worked well for him.
Love you for doing this song! ❤Also, all your other awesome reactions I've been subscribed for years to enjoy. 🤍 TY!!!
Do not be embarrassed! Dylan is a master poet, lyricist, and performer, but everyone SINGS Dylan better than Dylan. (except for "It's Alright Ma..." and maybe "Mr. Tamborene Man") YOU ROCK!
Sorry, missed your post...
Side bar : one of the best songs ever written..
