I read a critic years ago who said that if anyone thinks Bob Dylan can’t sing, they need to listen to this record. One of my absolute favourites - it certainly is stunning.
@@Al-mx1uo I think you’re probably right. I don’t think he was or is interested in critics’ reviews either. But I just found the comment I quoted interesting.
It is so heartwarming to see the comments section. I feel like Bob Dylan is a way to connect people together trough that weird feeling of happy melancholia that we all feel.
If I meet someone who is as big of a fan of Dylan as I am, I don't need to know anything else about them to know that I will get along with them extremely well. People that truly appreciate dylan and what he has done seem to have a certain mindset in life I find and its one I personally have alot of time for and can relate to.
If that’s the case then you and I could be best friends because I’ve been listening religiously since I discovered him in 97. Time out of mind came out that year and I bought all his 60s albums a few days later. I bought his albums chronologically after I bought time out of mind, starting with his first album from 62
I found this song on the bootleg albums years ago while helping my friend move. As payment for my labor, he gave me them. Thank god!!! So many great songs.
The fact that this wasn't even released until approx thirty years later speaks volumes. Imagine just having this in the back catalogue. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
man i feel very rarely do people can sincerely compliment bob dylan, and you just did, and i couldn't agree more. the only. who knows how to sing in a human tongue.
Dylan's music has the power to portray so beautifully an image that one had never seen before. Not only that, we also experience it through his voice, guitar and harmonica. I can't stop listening to this masterpiece!!
Nothing like it. After 35 years of thinking about and listening to Bob, he still sneaks up and hits me in the gut. Always loved this one. Another tear on my cheek
I remember spending one dark cold February listening to this song when I was 15 and now in retrospect it was probably the last weeks that felt like “childhood” and I’m really thankful I got this gem as my send-off tune
Damn. Yes . Where does the time go? Where did that kid go? We are lucky to have decorated our hearts with this music. We are lucky to have been given these hearts, destined to break, but ours for a time at least. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
I’ve been saying for years that Dylan’s pitch on this song is perfect. Bob always serves the song and doesn’t try to dominate or overwhelm it. That’s part of what makes him the outstanding folk singer of this or any era. He learned that from the old blues singers and of course from Woody and Pete.
This audio is perfect. The voice of Bob Dylan is clear and sweet... His harmonic completes the magic efect... Wonderful!!! We can see the moon appearing from behind the mountains... Thank you for available for us.
I feel like his cadence is his own. His timing is (somewhat) all over the place but it still works and brings a tear to my eye. Bob Dylan is just excellent music.
I've been listening to Dylan forever, all the albums plus bootlegs etc. I thought I'd heard pretty much all. This was the first time I heard this song. I wonder if he will do the same as Paul McCartney......Must be a ton of stuff not popularly known....ɓut probably well appreciated....Joan Baez found his scribbles of Love is just a four letter word down the back of his or her couch and recorded it herself....Dylan himself congratulated her on that song not even recognising his own song...Not sure if that's true..
Lyrics I’ve been a moonshiner For seventeen long years And I spent all my money On whisky and beer And I go to some hollow And set up my still If whisky don't kill me Lord, I don't know what will And I go to some barroom To drink with my friends Where the women they can't follow To see what I spend God bless them pretty women I wish they was mine With breath as sweet as The dew on the vine Let me eat when I'm hungry Let me drink when I'm dry Two dollars when I'm hard up Religion when I die The whole world is a bottle And life is but a dram When the bottle gets empty Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
It’s not a cover. It’s an original. Bob Dylan wrote it. There’s another song called moonshiner I think that Roscoe Holcomb does, but that’s a different song. The words are totally different.
@@erinbird5918 Well, Bob added a verse, but where the song came from is disputed between America and Ireland. What does seem clear, is that the origin is in the 1920's. (Check Wikipedia for this song. Also, Bob's official web page says he wrote it but with "Arr." following his name for arranged. The bottom line though is that this is an incredible song and Bob's interpretation is a knockout ~ deep & gorgeous.
One of Dylan's greatest early recordings... and Uncle Tupelo's 1990s version is, for me, one of the great Dylan covers. (I know it's an old folk song and not strictly a Dylan original, but the Tupelo version is VERY close to Dylan's particular take)
I discovered this beautiful song through the bootlegs recordings, thirty five years ago maybe, here, in France. I remember how I fell instantly in love with it. This song deals with human weakness and spirituality. Thank you Bob Dylan !
This is the most beautiful song you have ever written Bob, and the best I have ever heard you sing. Percy's Song is my second favourite...a wonderful echo of Two Sisters.
This one goes nicely with "Copper Kettle" off 'Self Portrait'. I also like the 'Live at the Gaslight' version of this one. Real beautiful harmonica and those sorrowful lyrics. So gorgeous.
In the middle of weary nights I come back over and over again to this record... seems like an alcoholic's hymn, or some kind of old dream. A eulogy for himself before his time.
My grandfather James W favourite song was The Maid of the sweet brown knowe. Tommy cried every time he heard it and told me that. He'd say that was James' favourite song. X
Aaaaaaaaah! Quel bonheur! Enfin sur RUclips!!! C'est sans doute une des plus belles performances vocales de Dylan... C'est d'une beauté totalement intemporelle... C'est rare à ce point....
I chose this song to listen to while watching a silent super 8 film of my mother as a child, playing on the beach. It was just a few weeks after she’d died, and I’d never seen the footage before. It’s been 6 years now, and her tiny, innocent face comes right back as soon as that first note hits. I sincerely think it’s Dylan’s best work.
You just shattered me. I mean i was like a plate dropped too many times and glued together, but your words and images amd his..and me in the middle.of the night Montana, realizing my mother took me to see Joan Baez when i was young. And i dont think I thanked her.. I.was an.ass to her. And im.sorry in a way there arent words to make better. She.left her broken body 18 years ago yesterday. I just wish... We could hold onto this, eacI other , somthing just a bit longer.. Be well. Thank you for sharing your memory .
@@JakeDevore-h6v Some things don't get better and words just feel like cliche placations. I think we just have to walk through grief; to deny it would be a disservice to the importance the deceased held. This song is like a tool of remembrance for me. It's excruciating but necessary to relive sometimes. But your mom knew. They always know, somehow, moms. Thank you for sharing, and I am sorry for your loss.

You beautiful being. I would Italian kiss you right on the mouth. I have not found a full recording straight through that had this much soul in more than a few years. Thank you.
In his young days his singing always caught and catches my heart. But after countless years of singing his voice has changed to the point I prefer reading his lyrics ...
Some people criticise Bob Dylan but I figure they've heard only a tiny fraction of his catalogue. Sad really, they surely don't know what they're missing, Keep on listening to the billboard 100/top of the pops boys.

I was just thinking something along those same lInes. His singing here is certainly stunning.
Not only beautifully sung, but beautifully enunciated, each word as clear as the emotion expressed
I think Bob would have argued he wasn't too concerned with whether he could sing. He was more interested in making music.
@@Al-mx1uo I think you’re probably right. I don’t think he was or is interested in critics’ reviews either. But I just found the comment I quoted interesting.
Hi. Amy. Bob i
How to make a desperately sad song beautiful.
It is so heartwarming to see the comments section. I feel like Bob Dylan is a way to connect people together trough that weird feeling of happy melancholia that we all feel.

TOM, that is also what I feel and believe!
And its sooo goood💞Love from Hamburg Germany to all his fans 💞
Your so so not wrong 🤧🎵🎵🎵💃😎🗣️👣
We are fine. Many are not. Celebrate the real. Gulag 2222.

That harmonica is heart-breaking
devastating
I found this song on the bootleg albums years ago while helping my friend move. As payment for my labor, he gave me them. Thank god!!! So many great songs.
I think this is one of Bobs finest vocals. It is truly amazing.
It is for sue.... amazing 🔥
Most definitely
Definitely touches something deep with this one…
And the whiskey doesn't kill him yet, we're lucky to have Dylan, thank God. How wonderful is this song!!
Its pretty Damn Wonderful Edi.....We are lucky indeed
And now he has his own Whiskey Distillery. Perfect. Heavens Door Whiskey.
The fact that this wasn't even released until approx thirty years later speaks volumes. Imagine just having this in the back catalogue. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Bob dylan is the only one that can truly sing
I disagree to agree
I'm right
Truest words I ever read
man i feel very rarely do people can sincerely compliment bob dylan, and you just did, and i couldn't agree more. the only. who knows how to sing in a human tongue.
Lmao 🙄

This man is a stunning and wonderful songwriter and musician.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard!
This is stunning
Another example of a Dylan masterpiece!
No matter how many times I listen, it hits me like the first. So human and bare. I close my eyes and see it all.
sublime perfection from the greatest songwriter that graced our lifetime
This is always one of my favourite Dylan songs to sing along to.
First heard this song on a 'bootleg' record I bought when I was 18 - I'm 69 now - it still gets to me !- the exceptional, unique, amazing Bob Dylan
I remember spending one dark cold February listening to this song when I was 15 and now in retrospect it was probably the last weeks that felt like “childhood” and I’m really thankful I got this gem as my send-off tune

I've heard another version of this song, but this is the first time I'm hearing this one and I'm almost crying, Bob is my favorite singer forever
This audio is perfect. The voice of Bob Dylan is clear and sweet... His harmonic completes the magic efect... Wonderful!!! We can see the moon appearing from behind the mountains... Thank you for available for us.
I agree , Bob' s voice is full of color and phrasings and can create anything he wants with it
@@corneliakapelinski Hello, Cornelia! I like to read your comments. They are very rich. You write with your heart.
Glad this song has been posted again! One of my personal favorites.
Underrated masterpiece.
I feel like his cadence is his own. His timing is (somewhat) all over the place but it still works and brings a tear to my eye. Bob Dylan is just excellent music.
Yes the timing is odd but it works amazingly well...very hard to duplicate.
Bob’s timing is excellent. It’s just unusual. !!
I am a tremendous fan of "early" Bob Dylan... and this is such a great song, and his rendition cuts to the heart.....
And to think he was only 23. An astounding genius.
21-22 here actually

22 at most, born in 41
Facts like this make me think we're just vessels of the otherworldly. Some of us.
I love this song.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here!
This Version,of This Song,is Nothing short of Spiritual.
I feel if this song could hit the Spotify Top 10 list now,the world could Change.
It is changing. Celebrate it.
Bob Dylan is my hero
Lyrics
I’ve been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
And I spent all my money
On whisky and beer
And I go to some hollow
And set up my still
If whisky don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will
And I go to some barroom
To drink with my friends
Where the women they can't follow
To see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine
With breath as sweet as
The dew on the vine
Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
Two dollars when I'm hard up
Religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle
And life is but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
Man I'm glad I've found this again. Been about 10 years looking for this song. Love you dylan
🍀
I've been praying for this.
He.does this to perfection
The most beautiful song there is.
Damn…
Mind blowing…
He was so good. Well polished.
I am here again listening to this wornderful song... Thank you once more, Bob.
Masterpiece
One of his best performances, I love this song. It is a cover but the singing, the passion, I'm so glad it is finally available here.

This song seems to really hit the spot deep down and reach the core of our essential
nice elston very nice

I often wondered
Is the entire thing a cover of an older folk song, or you just mean the references to Tex Ritter's Rye Whisky?
This is a haunting tune
seit ewigkeiten fan von bob dylan ...er bleibt immer in meinen herzen...love bobby
I absolutely love you Mr Dylan, what a wonderful soul.
Why does this song always make me tear up?
This got me through my late 20’s
Love that awesome voice!❤️
Bobbbbbbbyyyyy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is there anything this dear sweet man can't sing.....
I discovered this beautiful song through the bootlegs recordings, thirty five years ago maybe, here, in France. I remember how I fell instantly in love with it. This song deals with human weakness and spirituality. Thank you Bob Dylan !
Awesome this has been released. Thanks Bob
Totally agree stunning
En días difíciles volveré para acá siempre, a este sonido profundo

Super Bob Dylan

This is the most beautiful song you have ever written Bob, and the best I have ever heard you sing. Percy's Song is my second favourite...a wonderful echo of Two Sisters.
A great version, but this isn't a Dylan song, it's a traditional folk song, probably Irish in origin.
I agree with you, been my favourite since the 60’s
God bless Bob Dylan
immer immer wieder; Thank you BOB ❤❣️💕⚘️🌀
Dankeschön 😊
He just makes me wanna live to 100+❤
Thank God this got posted. I've been listening to that kid do his version (which is good) for f-ing years now
It's beautiful
Heard this on old bootleg many years ago. Sounds better than ever.
Definitely my favorite recording of him, he perfectly modulates his voice, harmonica & guitar.
This one goes nicely with "Copper Kettle" off 'Self Portrait'. I also like the 'Live at the Gaslight' version of this one. Real beautiful harmonica and those sorrowful lyrics. So gorgeous.

Beautiful thanx
Thanks
His performances are evocative 🎸🎶🎤
How is he so good
Bob loves MUSIC❤
Thank you finally have the real version
Great song, and i can relate.
Something so tender about this
Anyone else on their eighth or ninth Dylan song in a row and starting to feel like they've inhaled the world?
My grandfather James W favourite song was The Maid of the sweet brown knowe. Tommy cried every time he heard it and told me that. He'd say that was James' favourite song. X
So glad the bootleg stuff is finally on YT.
Rock on bob

To anyone who says Dylan can't sing, listen to this with head phones alone with no outside distractions and then say that.
Well said George, fantastic vocals. Seeing him in Glasgow 30 October, reviews so far have been great. Take care. 😎☘️👍
