"Senior," one of my all-time favorite Dylan songs from any album, any era.... I also really like "Changing of the Guards" and most of the album -- "Where Are You Tonight," and "True Love Tends to Forget" in particular, but for me "Senior" is an all-timer.
This is really hard. "Changing of the Guards" has such a great arrangement and some stirring lyrics, while "Where Are You Tonight" is as epic as it can get. But I'm gonna go with "Señor"... enigmatic, spooky...love it. (Honorable mention for "New Pony".)
You should also ask which version of Street Legal people prefer ? The original 1978 mastered down a wind tunnel, or the remastered 1999 version with the extra minute, almost, on Changing of the Guards. For what it's worth, I prefer the 1999 version.
Bizarrely underrated album. Maybe his last great one, with the exception of Love and Theft. So far, that is...
The 1999 version is a remix. Most people, me included, prefer it. The newly remastered original mix (only available in the complete album collection) is not shabby either. Very good album, it was hard to choose a single track, but I went with Senor.
Lots of great tracks here. Everyone will go with Changing or Señor, so I went with "No Time To Think." I see "We Better Talk This Over" has no votes and I love that song and almost voted for it.
Side 2 is one of the most underrated Dylan album sides ever - I think people hear a bit of "Is Your Love In Vain?" and don't listen to the rest. IYLIV is probably the weakest track on here. I get why he started the side with it, the way it blasts in, but it seems a bit out of place otherwise. "Where Are You Tonight?" gets my vote. It's such a great song, and I love how you can hear the band get excited about it as the song progresses and really get behind it. Great song plus great performance equals great Dylan moment.
Senor is the top choice for me and then its Where Are You Tonight?, Changing of the Guards and either New Pony or True Love Tends to Forget. Not one of my favorite Dylan albums, but when I do listen to it, on a rare occasion, its good.
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow Do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all Or is your love in vain? Seriously though...it's one of those very even Dylan album where every track is a keeper. For entertainment, I always liked the bluesy groove of New Pony, where he ominously compares his ex-lover to the devil, and his new one indulges in voodoo...a definite pointer to his state of mind at the time and what happened next...
"Changing of the Guards" is a great song in a prime spot, very impressive. "Baby, Please Stop Crying" is in second place for me, but it took a while to appreciate the rest of the album. "Is Your Love In Vain" and "Senor (Tail of Yankee Power)" has grown on me in the last couple of months. This is the first Dylan I bought upon release, it has a soft spot for me.
I love every second of this album, but yeah, gotta go with "Changing of the Guards." Classic Dylan lyric, fantastic arrangement (horns! organ! backing vox!), and best of all, Bob's totally audacious DGAF lead vocal. All the little ornaments and flourishes and bits of texture: "That's right, I'm a soul singer, wanna make something of it?" It always takes a long time for me to get through the album because I have to stop and re-listen to several songs multiple times.
Guess I'm on my own here but I never really got into this album. Maybe it was the poor mixing to begin with or the seemingly sudden r-e-a-l-l-y nasally vocals that came out of nowhere that put me off. I do like 'Changing of the Guards' but plumped for 'Baby Stop Crying'. I should try it again I suppose. I can see the pitchforks and torches heading my way already, I'm out of here...
