that cover photo reminds me of a Sam Peckinpah movie: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is a 1973 American Western drama film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan. Written by Rudy Wurlitzer, the film is about an aging Pat Garrett, hired as a lawman by a group of wealthy New Mexico cattle barons to bring down his old friend Billy the Kid. Dylan composed several songs for the movie's score and soundtrack album Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, which was released the same year. Peckinpah had never heard of Dylan before, but was reportedly moved by hearing Dylan play the proposed title song and hired him immediately. Among the songs written by Dylan for the film was " Knockin' on Heaven's Door," still regarded as one of rock music's most enduring anthems. |

Never a Dylan fan. Usually hard to understand his voice. This is excellent, though. The bass intro and the violin added to the interest. |

Something from Blood on the Tracks, maybe?

Just saw his show yesterday in montreal, very touching, very inspired from still a true artist and visionnary.

Baez and Dylan belong together, categorically. Both are seminal to the great folks sounds!

Desire, Blood on the tracks.... Dylan really came into his own in the mid-70s. |

My mother loved BD but my Dad didn't care for him. Not everyone from BD's era liked him. Everyone, regardless of age, has different tastes, and all personally justifiable. I like BD - at 46 and did as a teen listening to his albums on my parent's turn table and with my Dad's always awesome quality headphones.

This whole CD was a mainstay in my early days. And shut up, you little twenty/thirty-year olds. You were too young to appreciate it and now, you're still too young to appreciate it. Geez - sometimes it feels really good to be over fifty...  |
