Come on,don't be shy.
Thanks Raz.You have the honour of being the very first person to reply to a topic that I started. Have you listened to the Mellow Yellow or Hurdy Gurdy Man albums ? Very good.
Raz digs Johnny Depp and Bob Dylan I'm mostly listening to Get thy bearings of Donovan these days. Rest kind of got old. I still like it though, just not in the mood for it anymore.
not mentioned yet i don't think...a song about comfortable clothing....i don't remember the title......donovan's a good musician.
that's it. "i love my shirt".it was off the barabajagal album.i used to have that album....i had to look it up.there were some other good tunes on that album also.
Highway 61 IS a fine album.I really prefer Dylans electric stuff.So what do you think of The Byrds' Dylan covers or even the group themselves.Younger Than Yesterday and Fifth Dimension are terrific.
i can't stand the byrds. or the turtles. or all of the bands that covered his songs. the only song, i have ever enjoyed that i can think of that was a bob dylan cover was all along the watchtower. everyone else is pretty lame.
Catch the Wind is a fine track.Do you like albums like Open Road and A Gift from a Flower to a Garden ? The War Drags On is an amazing song,as is Season of the Witch from slightly earlier than the above lps.
