Bob Dylan

Here’s Dylan’s version of ‘Three Angels’ from the 1970 ‘New Morning’, an album I don’t have. Perhaps I should?

Good version by the Persuasions of a Dylan classic, in my book anyway. I love 'New Morning' - so many great tunes. I've been listening to Bob's soundtrack for Peckinpah's 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' this last week or two - I had forgotten how great it was, how atmospheric.

When the film came out in '73 my girlfriend of the time was in some meeting on the first day out - she said she wanted to go to the film. I couldn't wait and went to see the film anyway, and then took her to it two days later, having to watch it like I'd never seen it because I didn't tell her I had already seen it. Even now I recall how uncomfortable I felt throughout the film.

There's a lot of attention on Bob and the Band with the release of over four hundred songs on the boxset based on recordings they did for the 1974 tour that becames 'After the Flood'.
Author Geoff Dyer concentrates on just one of those songs, a rarity called 'Nobody 'Cept You' in a very interesting article which he uses to explain his relationship with Dylan's music and poetry in an article for 'The Observer' at the weekend. Here's the article:

...and here's the track in question, which I have to say I wasn't previously aware of.

Rather wonderful, I thought.

Many thanks, jc.
It’s a pity ‘Nobody ‘Cept You’ is currently only available on the expensive 27CD box set. Maybe the 1974 live ‘sampler’ will be issued as a CD soon?

For the moment the 1974 Live Recordings Sampler is only available to stream, JR. Here's the spotty link

- it's a great listen, I should say.
