My friend, who actually wrote and directed the film Born To Be Blue, got into a Bob Dylan show at Cobo Hall just after 9/11 when they had metal detectors and he was carrying a DAT recorder. The security guy couldn't figure it out but eventually he played the metal piece in his hip and got in

Ventilator Blues is amazing and it all has to do with the rhythm that Charlie reputedly couldn't play and needed Bobby Keys to clap out for him as they recorded. In the extras for Stones In Exile, Jack White explains the role of the rhythm to this song. As the opening riff is being played and Charlie taps the high-hat, everything tells you that a bass drum is coming to kick off the rhythm. I

I met Clinton Heylin in 1995. I was in a conversation in which I corrected him about something and he was so visibly upset that he put his arm in front of me to block me out of the conversation because I had wounded his pride so totally by making a factual correction. That is all you need to know about Clinton Heylin. He was probably beaten up too much as a kid. But incredibly thin-skinned and th

I do not hold Emotional Rescue in very high regard. If I were rating it on the five star scale, I'd give it two stars. It's not truly dreadful but it is pretty mediocre. Some of my opinion may be influenced by the fact that ER is just not that serious an album by design. Some Girls had been a serious statement that the Stones were still a creative force but two years later, ER was a muc

I think alt country is a term that is post 1980 when mainstream country went more pop. At first it was the New Traditionalists of which Steve Earle was a member. Copperhead Road strikes me as an alt country record. Earle also produced the initial sessions for Lucinda Williams's Car Wheels On A Gravel Road - the greatest alt country record of all time IMHO. Early Wilco is pretty definitive al

Bob Dylan wrote the song and recorded several versions of it during the Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996/97) but was somehow not satisfied with the results.

QuoteCooltoplady So whats so great about his production? 3 pages and nobody says why. Because he sucks. I can tell you why Jack White's production is great. He knows the golden rule of production and that is not to fill up the sound too much so that you can still hear the silence underneath the sound. With Loretta Lynn he pushed her to write new songs to prove that she was one of the great

I think there are very few albums where every song is a masterpiece but I would argue that there are albums that are masterpieces where every song contributes to that achievement though not every song might stand alone as a masterpiece. For example, Exile On Main Street is the greatest rock n roll album of all time IMHO but part of that is examining it as four sides of vinyl and how the sides are

The 1980s IMHO were the worst decade for popular music. I don't think A-ha were any worse than most of the electro-pop that came out in that decade but they are part of a movement that needed Kurt Cobain to come along and obliterate it.

Before The Flood was the first Bob Dylan record in my house when I was growing up and I've been with Bob ever since. But I learned some of his most famous songs from this record so imagine my surprise when hearing for example the original of Most Likely You Go Your Way. Always liked the version of Highway 61 but generally prefer the earlier slower shows particularly Toronto on January 10th.

I only got into Tom Waits because of Keith. Got Rain Dogs when it came out. That album is still on my short list. Keith's contributions were amazing. Quintessential Keith on Big Black Mariah and Union Square and lovely very Faraway Eyes licks on Blind Love. Marc Ribot is on that record as well. He does a solo on Plant/Krauss's Rich Woman that morphs into an authentic Keith imitation. He

One of the greatest vinyl bootlegs. Wasn't the tape stolen from the soundboard during JJF hence the recording is incomplete? It was just a cassette recording. Incredible separation of guitars into left and right channels. Some later vinyl bootlegs from this recording were of only one channel in mono.

Exile was going to be called Eat It at one point. Black And Blue was going to be called Cocroaches at one point. They used that name as a pseudonym for secret gigs instead. That name for Black And Blue comes from an interview with Keith in a British mag and Keith also said Wayne Perkins was probably the new guitar player.
