Tell Me :
Talk
Great song, yes. Although my favourites on 'L&T' are 'High Water' followed by 'Floater'
New album is up there with L&T and Time out of Mind as the best Dylan studio album of the last four decades, with 'Oh Mercy' rounding out the top four. It's a bit early to tell but it be the best of the lot of them.
That's right - it might be slightly sacrilege to say that (
), but definitely no crime.
Now go hide in a cave KRiffhard, give yourself a nice flogging, and eat only bread and water until you can see the light haha....
As for me, as always is the case with new/original Dylan, there's so much to take in, absorb, digest, and dissect piece by piece (especially lyrically), and at this point can only say I'm generally stunned with the greatness.
Can't pick a favorite tune as I consider each a chapter in the Rough and Rowdy book, but listening to My Own Version of You several times last night... lyrically fantastic, and the band and the music itself is mesmerizing...
While Time Out of Mind has always been my favorite latter day album (and always will), this has quickly become my second favorite of this era, and no doubt will always be a part of me and a time capsule of Summer 2020.
PS - Thanks to everyone who posted all of the lyrics - there's PLENTY more to take in, absorb, digest, and dissect piece by piece.

Unbelievable that he has an idea for a song, and ends up with
totally different versions of the song, each with a new structure, which is
practically a different song...

I agree with the assessment of Tell Tale Signs.
It is one of my favorite albums not just by Bob...but by anybody!
That a track as great as "Red River Shore" ended up on an album of unreleased outtakes is beyond belief.
I don't know if anyone else has posted this, but I thought it of interest:

Tell Tale Signs...no doubt one of the best compilations ever - I even sprung for the (overpriced) 3 disk Deluxe version which included a neat Theme Time Radio Hour poster (for the first 5,000 pre-orders),
a book of Dylan singles art, a 7" vinyl single, and of course the third disk filled with more greatness. > Tell Tale Signs
If memory serves it cost around $100+ give or take (?), but now it's impossible to find anywhere these days without spending an arm and a leg...

I'm glad I got that one too while it was available. One of the top 5 "bootleg series" releases. And the additional disc, compared to the 2CD feature some of the best stuff there.

Yes that series best - The powerful up tempo acoustic version of Most of the Time is fantastic.

Horribly, I never got the 3rd disc (Tell Tale Signs)...maybe one day I will find a copy.
Eventually, I will get to hear vol 10, 11, 13, 14 & 15. I would guess like many people, that first 1-3 set just hooked us on every release since...the more robust the better.

That series is truly a masterpiece with songs from Oh Mercy, Time Out Mind, Love and Theft and Modern Times - That’s s career for most bands if they achieve those results which only a few get close

Having attended the most memorable concert at Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany, on the Zeppelinfeld on July 1, 1978, I am still waiting for another live compilation from that tour besides the Budokan Album. IMO this was a great tour, so different from the legendary 1974 tour, and Dylan invented himself anew.
Like for instante the live versions of Mindight rambler from Leeds 1971 and Brussels 1973 I do not want to miss either the 1974 tour nor the 1978 tour from Dylan's carreer.
For the Nuremberg concert see

I LOVED the record for a day or two. Lyrically it IS MAJESTIC. Now - I totally agree with you. Musically it's as dull as bath water. It's LAZY.
So, I'll download, print and marvel at the lyrics. I'll put them in my Dylan's LYRICS book. And I'll put the album aside.

My friend, co-worker, colleague Greg Katz died on Tuesday and I thought I would share a Dylan story he told me (hopefully I have it all correct).
Greg was a huge Dylan fan (as well as having a home in Westport, Connecticut, and always telling me how he would see Keith around town).
Anyway, he told me this story last year when the Rolling Thunder Revue CD box set came out. At that time, Greg was a student at the University of Vermont and the revue came to Burlington.
But besides being a huge Dylan fan (and Yankees and cigars and other things), he was an aspiring writer. So he walked into a bar in Burlington and there was Dylan having a drink with fellow Revue performer Allen Ginsberg.
Greg walked up to the pair and Dylan turned away, ready to foil an attempt from a fan to have a chat or get an autograph. But Greg wanted to talk to Ginsberg, and he came armed with some stories he had written. So he spoke to Ginsberg for a few minutes and gave him some of his writings, ignoring Dylan.
Ginsberg, if I remember correctly, eventually got back in touch via mail to offer some advice.
I downloaded a pretty poor audience recording of that Burlington show last year and gave it to Greg (as well as the digital files for Rolling Thunder box set). I hope he enjoyed it, and I really hope he had time to listen to the new Dylan album before he passed away. I sent him a download of it last week on email, but I didn't hear back from me, making me think the worst.
Sadly, the worst came.
Here is an obit of Greg.
