Talkin' Bob Dylan (lyric, bootlegs, blues, country, favorite songs)

Personally, I can NOT STAND his voice. I would be the last to deny that as a songwriter, he was probably the best. I love listening to covers of his songs, the lyrics are absolutely amazing. That said, I haven't really heard anything by him that wasn't a hit because of his voice. Are there any songs where he doesn't sound like such a whiny b****? Don't mean to offend anyone by that by the way just can't stand it.

I bought this, this week...

Great alternate takes, etc. A worthy successor to the original box set.

However, it became unmistakeable to me whilst listening, that one of the most hyped tracks `Red River Shore` has a melody almost entirely ripped off another BD song, `When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky` (available on Bootleg #3) - which is a song that kicks serious emotional ass.

I know a lot of Bobs songs borrow melodies from all over the shop, but i`ve heard so much about the Red River song, was surprised no one had mentioned it.

Anyway, i`ve only had time to listen to disc 1 so far (several times). My early fave is the first track, Mississippi, a terrific slow burning version rivalling Blind Willie McTell.
