It's a while since I heard "Motorpsycho Nightmare" but I still remember the sinister threat of the line: "Rita mumbled something about her mother on the hill" It's up there with "and the riot squad ............ they're restless" from Desolation Row for understated drama. This kid's got a future :)
Let him hear “isis” from the live 75 bootleg series, and “tonight I’ll be staying with you”, and “tangled up in blue” from that same album....and a whole host of songs off “Nashville skyline”, like “I threw it all away”, ect, ect...or, the higher, “dive-bombing the notes” voice on “like a rolling stone” from the bootleg series 4, from the 66 tour......Bob has so many voices, it’s just when ppl say he can’t sing, there’s just so many different voices in the last 62 years.....his first/debut album too, with the squeaky, honkin’ voice, like “gospel plow”, “in my time of dying”, “you’re no good”, or “house of the rising sun”, or “freight train blues” where he holds that one note for , like, nearly a minute...anyway, Dylan had as many voices as he did different looks.
Great job guys... enjoyed the video immensely, nice to see some open minds... i also just finished the book you are reading and totally enjoyed it... i'm a dylan fan from the beginning and liked how the author tied many of dylan's songs to a lyrical/poetic jumping off place of what was actually going on in his life.. he was out on the edge and ahead of a lot of what was going on in the 'alternative' culture of the time.. true artist living the life and getting the rewards and paying the price as he went along... as he describes himself now 'first among equals, second to none'... after 60 years of hearing him , i now find his voice soothing and comforting...
John Lennon said “it’s not how Dylan sings,,it how he sings it-- meaning, phrasing, delivery, he’s unmatched, he single handedly invented rap-- and if one doesn’t think he can sing, listen to the live 75 bootleg series
Dylan sings with microinflections and the phrasing of a beat poet. Look up the poet Lawrence Ferlingehtti on youtube and listen to his readings. Might help some. Also Dylans pitching is unique. He sings in microtones. Usually what happens is folks begin to be drawn to his voice after listening for awhile. I think it takes time for our ears to catch up with him. Thing with Dylan is the words. He has the ability to strike provoking thoughts that we never really knew existed. Its a very interesting effect that his songs are complex in a way that doesnt just express one emotion/feeling at a time but is able to present several within a song. Dylan's greatest gift is being able be the best commentator in song concerning the human condition.
Loved this video. Graet way to introduce virgin ears to an artist as complex and diverse as Dylan. He's like anything that stands above the rest, an acquired taste.
'Cool 'you guys are sharing - Love song: IF YOU SEE HER Lyrical/ poetry: NOT DARK YET or VISIONS OF JOHANNA - would be my call for the other two categories. Thumbs up - thanks for the Dylan.
@@designsaunders Excellent !! I hope you'll be doing more Bob Dylan. Some suggestions for easy introduction to his music: Don't Think Twice, It's Alright Spanish Boots Of Spanish Leather Positively 4th Street Bob Dylan's Dream Masters Of War
@@designsaunders I was wondering whether you had shared any of Joni Mitchell's catalog with your son. Maybe; RIVER A CASE OF YOU COLD BLUE STEEL, SWEET FIRE FOR THE ROSES SEX KILLS SHADOWS AND LIGHT FACE LIFT
Good choices for the categories, but of course, mine would be a little different. For scorched earth, the song that immediately came to mind was "Idiot Wind", folk rock would be "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", for lyrical/poetry I would go with "Desolation Row", humor would be "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream", and for love song, as you said, there's such a plethora to choose from, but I would go with , "Shelter From the Storm". But, tbh, there are no wrong answers...
@@thorsluter7835 hey, by any chance does anybody know where could be downloaded or seen for free the full Shadow Kingdom show? It was on youtube but not anymore
Ballad of a thin man it's pretty humorous too. I think is the most bizzare and great lyric ever made huahua 'cause it's pretty touching too in a weird way
The Byrds version of ''Mr. Tambourine Man'' is good for those not quite getting Dylan's voice yet , or Baez doing '' Love is just a four letter word'' ..the list goes on and on ...
You did a couple of Bruce Cockburn songs. May I suggest 'If I Had A Rocket Launcher'? A good version has '2 meter sessies' in the title. Fine guitarplay, and content that matters.
That song is incredible! Honestly, it should have been on my list - Isaac is big history buff and I bet he would've gotten into the references. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

For a funny song I would of gone for BOB DYLAN'S 115th DREAM
Just posted the same.. Another good one would be "I Shall Be Free No. 10"
No one has delivery or phrasing like Dylan it's insane, amazing voice
Nice. I love the Father//Son aspect. Ironically, I’m watching on Mother’s Day.

Scorched earth, thought you'd bring out a live Isis

Great stuff u guys...I finished watching the whole reaction now....I love father/son, father/daughter reactions, great channel

Great points. I believe his song "It's Alright Ma (I'm only bleeding)" perfectly encapsulates what you're saying...
@@thorsluter7835 Yep, that song brings the hammer down;)
Scorched earth: "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Idiot Wind".
Lyrical: "Mister Tambourine Man".
Humorous: "Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat".
Frank Sinatra praised Dylan's singing.
And his voice perfectly fits his songs.
the setup with the categories is pretty interesting and unique. I dig it.
Never Mind The Voice. ListenTo The Lyrics. Personally Don't Think Anybody Comes Close
Loved this video. Graet way to introduce virgin ears to an artist as complex and diverse as Dylan. He's like anything that stands above the rest, an acquired taste.
'Cool 'you guys are sharing -
Love song: IF YOU SEE HER
Lyrical/ poetry: NOT DARK YET or
VISIONS OF JOHANNA - would be my call for the other two categories.
Thumbs up - thanks for the Dylan.
GREAT suggestions! I just finished the new Dylan bio and I have a new appreciation for Visions of Johanna!
@@designsaunders
Excellent !! I hope you'll be doing more Bob Dylan. Some suggestions for easy introduction to his music:
Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Spanish Boots Of Spanish Leather
Positively 4th Street
Bob Dylan's Dream
Masters Of War
@@designsaunders
I was wondering whether you had shared any of Joni Mitchell's catalog with your son. Maybe;
RIVER A CASE OF YOU
COLD BLUE STEEL, SWEET FIRE
FOR THE ROSES SEX KILLS
SHADOWS AND LIGHT FACE LIFT
@@Blue-qr7qe Mandolin Orange does a great cover of "Boots of Spanish Leather". th-cam.com/video/iOHkyZ62jjQ/w-d-xo.html
@@Blue-qr7qe So many Joni songs to choose from, "Amelia", "In France They Kiss on Main Street", "Turbulent Indigo", the list goes on and on...
Now this is a gift from Father to Son

loving the father son dynamic.
those songs are the finest choices!
Great video love all three songs but then I love bobs voice
How old are you? Looks like you can be brothers.
I would add the christian ones, he converted i thinkin 1975: Forever young, Oh sister, You got to serve sombody :)
1979 - Slow Train Coming
1980 - Saved
1981 - Shot of Love
1975-1976 - Rolling Thunder tour
He converted in '78, "Forever Young" and "Oh Sister" both predate that era. "Every Grain of Sand" is one of my favorites from that period.
@@thorsluter7835 yeah! I was confused because Oh sister it's really straight forward christian, and Forever young too. Two amazing songs
@@thorsluter7835 hey, by any chance does anybody know where could be downloaded or seen for free the full Shadow Kingdom show? It was on youtube but not anymore

Also (but you were probably heading there already) the music nerd's obligatory paradise pieces by Yes: Close to the Edge, and And You And I.
disown him lol
The Byrds version of ''Mr. Tambourine Man'' is good for those not quite getting Dylan's voice yet , or Baez doing '' Love is just a four letter word'' ..the list goes on and on ...
love this video. cheers to you guys

Hey sometime it would be great if you could react to Bob's 'Murder Most Foul' which was released in 2020!!!!
That song is incredible! Honestly, it should have been on my list - Isaac is big history buff and I bet he would've gotten into the references. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Educate your kid
Son, listen to those two others! You missed out on a couple of goodies!!
