BOB DYLAN "planet waves" cd,1974. #1 US, #3 UK, #9 AU.
i guess Music Head will have his up here soon...will be interesting to see how he views this generally overlooked and forgotten Dylan masterpiece....
dylan's final album with The Band...
bit of acoustic stuff on here as well as 'bob goes pop'(best way i can describe some of these tracks)
i hear plenty of Geroge Harrison on here...not litterately,justthe whole feel going on...best example of this is the superb opening track 'on a night like this'.
no earth-shattering social commentary on this one, im guess the THC mellowed him out in this period,just some lovely tunes sung/spoken as only Dylan can...
cant for the life of me see the need for two versions of 'forever young' to be put on here,even though i love both them, they come up one after the other on the cd, one version is slower with commercially sounding music the other more in the vein of Bob & The Band.
orst track: hazel
best track: something there is about you
tracks:
1. on a night like this ***
2. going going gone **
3. tough mama ***

Hey, how did CH know I was doing a Dylan album today? I'm back in order this time, for Bob's eighth release. Last
week I messed up and let Self Portrait sneak up the list. I'm ok now. This release was after the spectacular Blonde
On Blonde, a hard act to follow. Pretty sure it lived up to my expectations. I could take either folk or electric
Bob. This one he decided to turn it down a bit, maybe trying to reclaim some of them folkies he lost. It should have
worked. It was recorded after his legendary sessions with The Band from which The Basement Tapes surfaced years
later. Contains the classic All Along The Watchtower which was pretty unknown until covered by Jimi Hendrix the
following year. My favorite has always been The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest. Up there with Dylans all
time best songs for me. The moral of the song line at the end is just exceptional. Four more love tracks, making the
album reach that level also. The country tinge of this album did it for me, with session men Pete Drake on steel and
Charlie McCoy on bass. They are country legends if you don't know. Those are the only other musicians on this album,
making this the first Dylan country album, not Nashville Skyline. The album made it to #2 U.S. and #1 U.K.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

This where Bob temporarily went off track for me. Don't think he recovered until there was some Blood On The Tracks.
Somebody must have knocked him silly for a few years. This is his ninth album, and the first where he was marketed
on the country side. The appearance of JC on the opening track makes that clear. Many tracks were recorded with the
two legends but only Girl From The North Country was included. Only three tracks I love, and the three I don't care
for knock the album back down. Lyrics have to be the weakest yet for a Dylan album. Country Pie makes me cringe, but
of course the instrumental Nashville Skyline Rag takes the worst. Bob had become frustrated with his success, and
wanted to knock himself down. Lay Lady Lay was the single, and I was never crazy about that one either. Just an ok
song for me. That was written for the film Midnight Cowboy, but was not delivered in time. Bob didn't want it
released as a single, but label head Clive Davis insisted, and the song was a #7 hit here and #5 UK. The album hit
#3 here and #1 there. Very short for a Dylan album at under 30 minutes.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
