Bob Dylan Album, "Fallen Angels" (05/20/2016) *

My fave on this album is "Skylark" but the whole album is really great. LOVE Bob's dark, countrified take on "All or Nothing at All".

 

so I guess Things You Said Today was the 23rd song?

 

If only he sang "Things You Said Today" in the same voice he's used for the Sinatra discs. He sounds like he was gargling razorblades on the Beatles cover...

 

Triplicate is better. Give it a go.

 

Thanks. I did. Not for me.

 

Same here. Some of the vocals are laugh out loud bad, his worst ever. I struggle to comprehend how anyone could enjoy a sub- karioki take on some of these standards. Fair enough for those who can but I'd much rather hear a proper singer with a vocal range tackle some of these songs. The so-called live, one take approach without overdubs is all very laudable if the results are good. If they are likely to induce raucous laughter from unsuspecting listeners, maybe not so much!

 

I just got "Fallen Angels" on vinyl (used). Pleasantly surprised with the sound and performances. I know how many folks here complain about "new' pressings, but this sounds fine.
