gosh, did bob retire or die about 1980?

i seem to be in a tiny minority here...

the great majority of the bob songs i love came along beginning in 1992 with his two solo acoustic albums, World Gone Wrong & Good As I Been To You...followed by all the bob-with-band albums since...the entirety of which constitutes My Fave Bob Era..during which he's toured and recorded with his great constant band, a big change from previous different-crew-every-disc-and-tour non-routine

SO many to choose from...so here's a great one:



and tho not bob's track (bob or his record company are fierce about how much stuff is allowed on youtube) this is one amazing interpretation of bob's so-simple-it's-like-nothing-else-ever little gem 'dirt road blues'..."i been praying for salvation laying round a one-room country shack":

I'm with you on the excellence of more recent Bob songs (how about the dazzling 'Mississippi', for instance?), but I don't seem to be able to play/sing them myself (which I think was the original question posed). His voice became so grizzled and shot - and he writes for his own voice - so that my feeble and wibbly singing voice sounds even more pitiful than usual if I make the attempt.

Does anyone else enjoy playing his rewrite of 'Baby let me follow you down' - not the early solo version, but the rock&roll version he developed with the Band?

I dont think mine have been mentioned but...
Times are
Are A Changing and
Masters of War..."you ain't worth the blood that runs on your vains"....great lyric

[Fresh1985]

Wow there are so many, I couldnt choose one, shelter from the storm, desolation row, as I went out one morning, just a few of many dylan tracks I like to play.

The hardest thing about many dylan songs is remembering the words!
