YEAH BOB HONEY I LISTENED TO YOU SINCE 1978 WHEN MY GRANDFATHER DIED AT ST NICHOLAS DAY I WAS 13 YEARS OLD AND STOPPED TO TALK AND GO TO SCHOOL MY GRANDFATHER PLAYED TO ME ON HARMONICA AND MY MUM WHO HATED ME BOUGHT ME YOUR ALBUM THE STREET LEGAL AND SAID LISTEN NOW TO THE HARMONICA IT BROUGHT ME A COMFORT AND I FELL IN LOVE AT YOUR LIKE FORGETMIN UPPS BLUE EYES I DID NOT KNEW THEN WHAT LOVE IS I DID NOT HAVE A DAD NOW I AM 59 YEARS OLD A SCULPTOR A PAINTER AND POED WITH NO FAMILY AND KIDS AND I CAN PLAY ON HARMONICA MYSELF AND SING I HAVE A COLOURED VOICE I AM TALL NATURAL BLONDINE WITH LONG CURLY HAIR AND LADY IN BLACK YOUR NEW GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY IT WOULD BE LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT WHEN YOU WOULD SEE ME JUST KEEP ON ROLLING I LOVE YOU DEARLY KISS KISS
Dylan's vocals here must've been swapped out with a cheesy Dylan impersonator caricaturing Dylan's most affected phrasing. Remarkable how one of the true pioneers of vocal phrasing to sink to such depths. Perhaps this is his laboratory for accessing either authenticity or casual delivery of either new material or newly inspired material. No fault lay here in either the chorus singers or band. Nashville crowd seems too forgiving. Earlier that year in 1978 I would hang out by Rundown Studios in Santa Monica when I lived in Venice and walked down Oceanfront to grab croissants and coffee or good salads at the Boulangerie across the street. From up the side street and outside of the unmarked building some very soulful rehearsal and development sessions were going on. Check out the now posted to U. of Tube RUNDOWN SESSIONS, circa '78. Dylan was playing with grooving gospel musicians and was between his STREET LEGAL phase and the Born Again Gospel era. Once he settled into that sound and the right mix of players and only God knows what went on inside his buzzing brain and nerve circuitry, this would become my favorite of his "phases." This take in Nashville however was dreadful. He's vocally mugging his own material! I had seen him at the outdoor yet fairly intimate Universal Amphitheater earlier in the year with this band and the legendary session saxophonist Steve Douglas adding the reeds to what I'd long fantasized a gritty and soulful complement to Dylan's own more hillbilly vocal range. That show had Dylan in a leather cat suit and handling the microphone like a Vegas showman. But his vocals and backing band, especially the supremely soulful Steve Douglas came across like a revelation, not some party one-off and not like this Nashville vocal that is ripe for that era's Chuck Barris Gong Show. Ah, well. Like I've said on my non-too-creative Wage Slave gigs after especially painful and soul-sapping days, "It's a living...." By contrast and with some of the same key band members, including session reeds wiz Steve Douglas (the bari sound down in the basement of those Phil Spector Wall of Sound records), here coaxed out onto live touring only by Duane Eddy, Dylan and this Tulsa groover J.J. Cale and drummer Jimmy Karstein with Cale's creative partner Christine Lakeland holding down rhythm guitar and Korg organ...Circa 1992 at the now ploughed under Bottom Line in a magical Greenwich Village of NYC, Rest In Play all who grooved and graced this stage making my well-spent yoot blessed....Before I headed out to Berkeley and East Bay area musical scribing covering these kinds of special a'muse-ing dives for alt press papers like SF WEEKLY, DIRTY LINEN and the Lit journals that could be occasinally persuaded to run the live performance reviews the daily papers never saw any need (despite ad revenue of night life!) to provide any 'news hole' to represent..... ruclips.net/video/MhDJOHgyHWA/видео.html JJ Cale - R.I.P. 1938-2013! - Live @ The Bottom Line, NYC 1992!
