Hey, I like the depressing songs.

As much as I've listened to Desire I never really realized just how bad ass the harmonica playing in "Isis" is. He just tears it up.

Just learned how to play "black diamond bay" and I must say I really love that chord progression, and the song of course. It's such a basic chord progression but he gets so much out of it. It's one of those Dylan songs that can be kind of difficult to sing. You're playing along, getting into the feel of the song, then he throws this line in that doesn't fit with the groove of the song. Then you realize that he just stays on that certain chord for a few more beats. Simple trick but it's pretty cool. Sorta free form, if you catch my drift.
