What a blessing it was to experience the artistry of the likes of Davey Graham’, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and, of course Martin Simpson. I don’t see this dedication and application to perfecting an art today, everyone wants instant fame.
I like Martin Simpson's guitar work here. I think possibly I like Dylan's version because Bob Dylan is not as good a singer and guitarist, he had a certain raw quality that appealed. But perhaps if I play his version again I will change my mind.
I think this is a perfect example of how guitar work can get the way of the song. Martin is an excellent guitarist who wastes Bob's words and sentiment by displaying his guitar skills. Shame!
Really. The song calls for the raw, unadorned version that Bob Dylan did. The words are what matters. A beautiful accompaniment works against the message. He should save his beautiful riffs for songs like Wild Mountain Thyme, Caw the Yaws, Banks of the Bann and the sorts of songs that Kate Rusby does so well. Or the late Andy M. Stewart. But it was a great accompaniment, just not the right song. @@soundseclectic8502
Martin breathes new life into what I otherwise find trite old Dylan songs. love this.
More than forty years ago I saw you at tv playing "Let it be me". Since then , my life have been accompanied allways with a guitar. Thank you, Martin.
