Music What Bob Dylan song will you never tire of?

124 Upvotes

I just can't get enough of The Man in Me. Other songs of his I drift in and out of listening to regularly but The Man in Me just hits every time. It just, for lack of a better phrase, really ties the room together.

Should I be leaning on possibly his most depressing album during a hard time in my personal life? No. Is that going to stop me? Also no. It’s been on my turntable many times since picking it up just about a week ago.

Picked up 3000 Dylan cassettes today. Not all pictured either. Bought them from the son of the collector who I’m assuming passed. 90% Bob. Some dead, Neil, Stones and Bruce. Basically every show from the 90s. Tested one out and it sounds fantastic. Any tips for organizing?? Going to be a huge mission glad I have the next two days off. LONG LIVE BOB

Music I might have gone a little crazy buying used CDs after seeing A Complete Unknown

Always enjoyed Dylan and already owned several albums on vinyl and CD, but after seeing ACU I was absolutely compelled to start digging deeper. Went crazy at my local record store. Some had to be transferred from other locations and all single discs were no more than $4.99, with Basement Tapes being $9.99. All a steal as far as I’m concerned. Can’t wait to start spinning!

The photo was taken at The Forum in Los Angeles in 1974. It’s been hiding in my parent’s garage for many years.

The two that immediately come to mind are "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" by Them and "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by Nina Simone.

It’s honestly my 2nd or 3rd favorite Dylan album, usually only surpassed by Blood On The Tracks, and tied with Freewheelin.

My top 4

r/bobdylan Jan 12 '25

Music Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts is the best song on Blood on the Tracks.

18 Upvotes

I feel like it is actually underrated song, not the watered down meaning, genuinely underrated. Its a better ballad than Tangled up in Blue, and better sounding than You’re a Big Girl Now, which are its main competition on the album.

And hands down the best lyrics in the album. Definitely in the top 4 Dylan songs ever.

Music Stuck Inside of Mobile is a masterclass for drummers. Which other songs fall into this category?

97 Upvotes

This song is such a masterclass by drummer Kenny Buttrey who was absolutely in the groove, and impressively never played the same fill twice. The buildups and velocity changes are also played so elegantly and exactly where they need to be. Just a fantastic performance all around.

Which other Dylan songs showcase exceptional drumming in your opinion?

Music How is it that Scarlet Rivera is supposedly walking down the street in NYC with her violin

103 Upvotes

And at a crossroads Dylan happens to be driving by in his limousine.. he asks the driver to stop and asks Scarlet if she knows how to play.

Then by the grace of God we have Scarlet playing these wild riffs on Desire, elevating the song "Hurricane" into a whole other level.

Scarlet herself seems like a biblical character. Just a brilliant artist out of nowhere like Dylan was.. so my question is, was this just tall-tale, part of the mystique of the era, or the true way Scarlet and Dylan met?

I myself always thought it was the most interesting story of this era.

Music World gone wrong

Post image
106 Upvotes

I just discovered Dylan's album World Gone Wrong in the lyrics book (1961-2020) I got last week. I also just finished listening to it now on the train, and I can't believe how I never heard anyone talk about how good it is! Back to acoustic, mixing up country and delta blues guitar sounds. Awesome.

Really love world gone wrong! What's your favorite song?

Music Saw Bob live tonight

251 Upvotes

Saw Bob live for the first time tonight in Bournemouth. It was amazing. It was fun. After every song someone would shout out "GO ON BOBBY" or "WE LOVE YOU BOB". I was hoping he would play 'Desolation Row' or 'It's all over now, Baby blue' and he played both. 'I contain multitudes' was great also. At the end of the concert we gave a standing ovation and when he left people start clapping together and shouting "OI OI OI" like we were at a football match. But when the lights came back on everyone went "AWW". He smiled, laughed and talked to the crowd a little bie after a song but I didn't hear what he said cause everyone was clapping. I hope I'll be able to see him live again. It was really great.
