I love this song... I dunno..when I listen to it, I just picture a serene little cabin in the woods with people sitting around the campfire, one with a guitar and everyone singing along. Haha..
I love it too.. Bob sings it sooooooo sweet... I love him in that song.. as well as in Like a Rolling Stone.. he sounds sooo sweetly wasted there
did ya know this song was originally about drugs i learned that in skool .. my music teacher was tellin me
Yeah... you can't beat Roger McGuinn's 1964 Rickenbacker 370/12 for electric 12 strings... and of course, David Crosby played Gibson and Gretsch 12 strings. He still plays one of the Gibson 12 strings with CSN(Y).
Btw, The Times They Are A Changin' is another one of my favorite dylans.... Those are my top two, I believe. I like a lot of his things. I'm a big folkie/granola eater. lmao. James Taylor does a nice cover, but I still like Dylan's original.
Classic song, one of favourites for chilling out. Yes it is about drugs, the tambourine man being the dealer and the song being drugs I belive. There are also a few drug references in the verses. Its a beautiful song either way.
Finally a Dylan thread. Dylan=God. Anyway, tambourine man is a real cool song, from the earliest version ive heard it (bootleg vol. 6 1964) all the way to his crazy ass rendition of it in "live at budokan" (1978ish). There should b a bob dylan thread or some thing cuz he has soo many songs, cds, and tours that i would ove to talk about with other dylan fans. hahahahahahahahah mr tambourine man just came on, on my playlist on my comp.
Heh, Quinn The Eskimo is all about drugs. I recorded a cover of like... all of these dylan songs. I've been meaning to put an album on CD Baby, but I haven't managed. Laziness and too much guitar playing, lmao.
in terms of visual picture, it makes me think of 2 homeless guys in a dirty street for some reason. i have no idea why. in terms of other thinking, it makes me think... simple as that... awesome song.
well interestingly enough, we have all sat around the bon fire at my parents cottage and sang this song lol and yes it was great
