My uncle was a HUGE Bob Dylan fan. In the 60's the U.S. Air Force stationed my uncle in West Berlin and Bob Dylan was his sound track. When my uncle passed away a few years ago, his best friend and Air Force buddy, put together a heart warming video of my uncle accompanied with Bob Dylan's music. It's hard for me to think of one and not the other.
Bob Dylan is arguably the best songwriter in modern music. Another must listen to Dylan song is “The Times They Are A Changing”. It is commentary on social and civil rights in the early 1960’s. His catalog is deep and wide, ranging from folk to rock music. He even has a few songs that sound similar to rap music but they were written many years before rap was even imagined.
It's called 'talking blues', and was around long before Dylan, or even Woody Guthrie for that matter. And if you dig deep, you'll see his "deep and wide" catalog ranges well beyond merely folk and rock... listen to Infidels, for starters.
It's difficult to overstate the influence and impact of this song and this album on what followed in rock/popular music. It helped to push The Beatles to begin writing more than simple tunes, for example.
Didn't really have to do so much with the time. Dylan was just unique. I suggest these Dylan songs: Tangled Up In Blue, Shelter From The Storm, Visions Of Johanna, Things Have Changed, Positively 4th St. & It's All Over Now Baby Blue
We had no personal computers, no cell phone , no loops, no drum machine, just real humans playing real musical instruments. It more authentic and honest than the crap noise today.
I was surprised, by this new artist called Ren from the UK. You should listen to Hi Ren - Ren I rarely listen to new music, but this artist is really quite something.
This is one of the all time great albums. In terms of pushing the old analog technology to it's limit, you should check out Pet Sounds from the Beach Boys. Good Vibrations is a masterpiece of production, hugely influential. Layering instruments over and over on tape, cutting and splicing it by hand, most modern musicians and producers wouldn't get a look in. However, unlike now you were given more of a chance to grow, fail and redeem yourself.
How novel……real musicians playing real instruments - not pressing computer buttons - and truly poetic lyrics that make you listen and think? Welcome to the days of real music and true artistry, in this case Dylan, arguably the most iconic and influential singer/songwriter/ recording artist of all time, young man! So glad you can appreciate it. There are some seriously talented musical artists today, but far fewer than in the days of my youth (I’m 78). If it’s the level of artistry which Dylan and others of his day represent that you seek, methinks you were unfortunately born a few generations too late! Thanks for helping to keep recognition of this music alive.
Dylan's songs are poems set to music so he sings so we can hear and follow the poem. Since the 1980's the focus was much on the music and the technology.
The song is about Edie Sedgwick...high class girl who got into the Andy Warhol group and it changed her life negatively. She died at age 28 as a result of drug abuse...street drugs which is referred to in the song.
This is a live in the studio track. That is how Dylan rolls. The players had no charts. They received no instructions .There were no overdubs. They tried 14 takes that day. After 3 false starts something magical happened on take 4 . They had this complete track. It is raw because each player was learning the song from scratch and imperfections abound . But it has that magic. They did not complete any of the takes that followed . Classic song everyone has covered.
Edie Sedgwick is the subject of the song. She was the girlfriend of his friend folksinger Bob Neuwirth. She was a "Warhol Girl" Famous for being pretty and glamorous. The "diplomat" on the chrome horse is probably Andy Warhol, who was a pop icon that dabbled in every form of art.
It would take sometimes months to record a record because of no technology, not like today where they do it in a few weeks. Technology is not always the best thing. The group The Band was once Bob's band before going on their own. In the mid-1960s, they gained recognition for backing Bob Dylan, and the 1966 concert tour was notable as Dylan's first with an electric Bob played acoustic guitar and the harmonica.
It's more commonly called a "blues harp". "Mouth harp" is more often used to refer to the twangy thing that's also referred to as a "juice harp". But I won't "harp" on the subject too much...
@@mr.knowitall6440 my grandmother played a one man band in the early 1900s. She played a bass drum with one foot, tambourine with the other foot, an accordion with one hand and piano with the other hand and a mouth harp on a stand. She played all the old dixie tunes and was a regular on the traveling vaudeville shows. I don't know more details; she was born in 1889 and passed in 1978.
Bob Dylan actually won the 2016 Nobel Prize for literature and is considered one of the world's foremost lyrics poets as well.
And took two years to pick it up. What an ahole! I so love him!

The greatest artist of the past 100 years!

My Dad played Dylan all the time growing up. This one is among his best.
His son Jacob Dylan is also a musician, check out his group called The Wallflowers! Jacob definitely resembles his dad!

As an elderly man in my mid 70s, this was our version of Hiip Hop. Dylan spitting the real deal. No autotune, just lyrics and musicians.

Harmonica
A skater look. Lol lol lol. Right on, man.
Dylan was always ahead of the times. Even now:)
Highest order.
Consider the number one song of all time.
Please try Positively 4th Street as well.
No. 1 song of all time. This version.
poetry
❤❤❤ bob music
Edie Sedgwick is the subject of the song.
She was the girlfriend of his friend folksinger Bob Neuwirth.
She was a "Warhol Girl" Famous for being pretty and glamorous.
The "diplomat" on the chrome horse is probably Andy Warhol, who was a pop icon that dabbled in every form of art.
Just enjoy him. He'll take you on a journey that will last for the rest of your life (and if there is a beyond, he'll take you through that too).
If Dylan’s music doesn’t make you think-you’re not hearing it
One hell of a 6 minute DISS track, before diss tracks were a thing.
It would take sometimes months to record a record because of no technology, not like today where they do it in a few weeks. Technology is not always the best thing.

Jimi Hendrix did a great live version of this song. Check it out! 🤙😎
Brother, if you liked this, you NEED to listen to "Positively 4th Street" by Bob...you won't believe your ears. GREAT reaction man!
back in the day you didn't need computers-just talent!
Deep deep deep 🐇 hole ☮️

Certain amount of anger here, at who has been a source of speculation.
It's a "mouth harp" AKA harmonica.
It's more commonly called a "blues harp".
"Mouth harp" is more often used to refer to the twangy thing that's also referred to as a "juice harp".
But I won't "harp" on the subject too much...

Think Stevie and Lindsey of Fleetwood had issues? This is Bob to Joan.
And there was Joan to Bob, Diamonds and Rust ❤
