Bob Dylan’s music is simply irresistible. His lyrics tantalising.
Oh Mercy, released in 1989 is simply another great CD by one of the all time greats. All ten tracks are worth a listen.
Man In A long Black Coat is a stand out for me and kinda fits in with Halloween.
Could he be singing about a lost love that been taken away by death? Could be she’s gone off with a new love?
That’s for you to decide. Wikipedia quotes Dylan as saying, “in some kind of weird way, I thought of it as my ‘I Walk the Line’…”
Of course I Walk The Line is one of the iconic Johnny Cash’s masterpieces.
Please visit Bob Dylan’s web site here… and buy some of his material. Old or newer, the material will not disappoint.
Hope you enjoy Man In The Long Black Coat below:
grand. The elderly statesman of music has collided with forms ranging from folk to glam rock and many in between and has left them richer, altered forever. In every endeavour he opened new gates and redefined what can be treated as art. Dylan the unquestionable ‘poet laureate’ of the rock started with folk and transcended the form by owning it. He lent poetic nuances to the protest movement that was shrieking around him in early sixties. He was the reluctant hero who was seen as the voice of his times. Since then he has been conducting a ceaseless and successful campaign to break one rock archetype after another.
