What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 30-07-2012

BOB DYLAN "another side of bob dylan" cd,1964.
another one from the weekend just gone, and my second Dylan in the last week...
thought Blood On The Tracks and Infidels were my two favourite Bob albums, but the score says otherwise with this equalling the 'Tracks' album score...go figure???
not really sure whether i prefer the early acoustic Dylan,the 1970s one, early 1980s or the late nineties to now period...guessing i simply love His Bobness whatever he does, and that includes that Xmas album he did a couple of years ago...
pretty hard to knock this guy as a poet/writer at any stage of his career...he is without peers IMO, and along with Neil Young, has been described in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine as "the most influential writer of the rock era"...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Third album and one of his best for me, with five love tracks, but one clunker to pull the album down to just
missing that love mark. Includes his only #1 single with Carole King's You've Got A Friend. That classic got both
James and Carole a grammy, James for singing it and Carole for writing it. Both versions are equally superb. This
album reached #2 on the Billboard chart, kept from the #1 spot by none other than Kings Tapestry. Carole has quite a
few guest spots on here with backing vocals, along with Joni Mitchell. Surprised to see John Hartford playing on
Riding On A Railroad. Went with Long Ago And Far Away as my favorite. Would have been You've Got A Friend, but for
it not being his song. That clunker is Let Me Ride, which the horns just don't work. The only horns on the album and
it breaks up the consistency.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Let Me Ride
Best Track - Long Ago And Far Away
Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friends
Loving the love I love
To love is just a word I've heard when things are being said
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
Where do the golden rainbows end?
And why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
Loving the love I love to love to love to love to love

Was familiar with these guys in name only, until this gift from Major Tim. He and my daughters and dh took a trip to
Ireland some years back and came back with this. As close as what we americans would consider traditional Irish
music, as you can get. The group was formed in the 60's and is still around, in a different incarnation of course.
All of the original members are now deceased. Gained popularity in Europe and the US in the 70's with an appearance
on the Ed Sullivan show here. Hey, that was the big time, people. Resurfaced again in to 80's with the help of The
Pogues giving them some kudos. Assuming this compilation incudes most of the groups hits. I like traditional Irish
music, but it always makes me feel like I should be sitting in a pub somewhere, getting drunk. I don't like to do
that. I'd much rather sit at home, getting stoned immaculate. Good music though, coming out as a moderate like. Love
3 tracks and don't like 3.

JOHNNY PAYCHECK "take this job and shove it" cd,1978.
i always laugh when i hear Johnny's name get mentioned...."paycheck"...afterall he did spend time in prison for cheque/checking fraud...LMAO!
but that aside,
im not a huge JP fan,i find him very second rate infact...he just aint a patch on Cash,Willie,Kris,George or Kenny IMO, but this album is exceptional for his standards IMO,
almost every track is brilliant country music that follows the traditional country formula of drinking(which i do not) and losing love(which i have).
the title track is a song for all people who are stuck in a job they do not like, similar feel to Cash-man's "Oney".
its not the best track on here though,its a tough call but i have to go for a song about acting stupid in a relationship in 'the fool strikes again'.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

The other of the two JT's that merited both vinyl and cd. My cd's were out of order, and James third was posted
before this second release. Roughly the same score as that classic (Mud Slide Slim). This one has my all time JT
favorite in Sweet Baby James. Three other love tracks and two bombs with the cover of the traditional Oh Susannah
leading the way. The album brought James to the forefront of the folk rock scene with a #3 album and a #3 single
with Fire And Rain. And an album of the year grammy nomination, losing out to Simon & Garfunkel. The loss is
understandable. Carole King and Randy Meisner both play on the album. It would be the next album that would bring us
Taylor's cover of King's You've Got A Friend. It would be a few more albums before he went all pop on me. The good
old days are fresh in my mind now after this listen. Allmusic gives it a perfect score.

Southern Kentucky boys that I had forgotten about. Nothing like pulling an album out to remind you. Leaning towards
the bluegrass side with some rock for flavor. First release was 1970 and this is their second. Thought they would
have hung it up long ago, only to see they are still performing, with 14 albums to their credit. This is the only
one I have. Nothing I can say I loved here and a couple of losers. Sound reminds me of The Band's country stuff with
some Earl Scruggs Review for the spice. That would be when Earl's son Randy talked him into doing some rock 'n' roll
with Randy and his buds. There I go wandering again. Only song I was familiar with on this album was Bill Monroes
Uncle Pen. The rest are group penned. We get a passing score here, but not by much.
