Deep Bob Dylan Theory 2012

[CorwoodRep]

I'm not a Dylanologist or anything, but two observations:

1. How is it that he can nail a take in studio in 2012 and when he finally gets around to playing the song live he no longer sings anything resembling the original vocal melody? This is a relatively recent phenomenon. Grizzled and broken as his voice is, he can still sing with it, and yet on tour he just doesn't do it.

2. Shelter From The Storm is a revelation with a full-band arrangement:

Can you do that and still keep the integrity of his voice though? By which I mean, the voice on the records is identical to the live voice, just holding notes for the correct amount of time instead of blurting them out savagely and without joy.

Oh darn...I left the doors to the KILLvan unlocked with the keys in the ignition. I ever so hope nothing bad comes of this.

I'm disappointed in humanity. Surely we should have gotten together and crushed his windpipe by now. I declare the UN a failed concept.

Maybe, dunno for sure but there are an awful lot os singers these days who go on stage with some sorta vocal tech to make them sound how they do in the studio.

Boy...that sure killed this thread in a hurry.

Sals is now the proverbial Woodstock of IMCT trolls. Even the ones who weren't born yet vividly remember being there...man...threatening his cadre of ever sassier-mouthed alts with graphic bodily harm while "Stay Free" blared menacingly in the background.

Dylan does what he wants.

Holy fuck yes:

Columbia Records will release Bob Dylan's The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) on August 27*, bringing fresh perspective to one of the artist's most controversial periods and revealing it to be one of his most wonderfully creative and prolific. Containing 35 rarities and previously unreleased recordings, Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) is the latest edition of Dylan's acclaimed Bootleg Series and is available in both a standard two-disc set and in a four-disc deluxe box set.

The unreleased recordings, demos and alternate takes on Another Self Portrait -- drawn mainly from the 1970 studio recording sessions that resulted in the official 1970 albums Self Portrait and New Morning albums -- shed new light on an essential and pivotal period in the artist's ongoing musical evolution.

Featured on Another Self Portrait are a previously unavailable version of "Only A Hobo" and the demo version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece," a track that finds Dylan, who'd been signed as a recording artist not quite a decade earlier, looking to the future, promising that "Someday, everything's gonna be smooth like a rhapsody, when I paint my masterpiece."

Bob Dylan has created a new painting as the cover art for The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971).

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) will be available in a standard two-disc configuration as well as in a four-disc deluxe boxed set which will include, for the first time ever, the complete historic performance by Bob Dylan and The Band from the Isle of Wight Festival on August 31, 1969. Housed in a slipcase, the deluxe edition will include the newly remastered version of the 1970 Self Portrait album, in its entirety with original sequencing, in addition to two hardcover books featuring revisionist liner notes penned by Greil Marcus (author of the notorious "What is this shit?" 1970 Self Portrait review in Rolling Stone).

This is one of my favorite eras for Bob - musically, vocally, lyrically - and it's been critically underrepresented on previous Bootleg volumes. Glad to see they're mining this era. Plus, finally an official release of the Isle of Wight '69 show. Very stoked.

Looks like another set for the low testosterone, NPR, rainbow flag crowd.

[Chuck Mangione]

The first thing my mind said when reading that was "You see this Sony? This is what the Clash should get."


Great news. Can't wait to hear it all.

[CorwoodRep]

I'm giddy about the disc with the Band.

[Heston]

Will the cunt be singing in tune on these versions?

[Dr. Medulla]

Will the cunt be singing in tune on these versions?

And alienate his fans?

Will the cunt be singing in tune on these versions?

Why start now?
