It’s the prototypical “fan’s” album. With only one hit amongst its 18 tracks most casual listeners go “huh?” It’s an entire record of “deep tracks”!

The 5:37 version originally recorded at RCA has a brilliant otherworldly almost ghostly feel to it. There is NO WAY they could given their current abilities do it justice today ... plus football stadium crowds would see it as an automatic pee-break!

FWIW I'm actually less interested in unreleased songs as I am in alternate developmental takes of existing released material. It's fascinating - to me at least - to piece together how Dylan or Lennon/McCartney evolved their classic material. One of the things that really stands out to me are what stupendously gifted singers John and Paul were. Of course, the tunes were/are amazing bu

QuoteBig Al Drake is a mixed-race, Canadian hip-hop artist or part-Jewish background. He is also quite simply the most-streamed artist in the history of music. As of mid-2018, Drake songs had TEN BILLION plays ... on Apple Music alone. in one year - 2018 - Drake tunes were streamed 8.5 billion times on Spotify alone. By most measures, he is the most heard artist of his time.
