The most angry person speaks in a low tone. Screaming achieves nothing.
I used to think he was a poor singer too, until I understood that technicality isn't what folk music is about. It's about feeling, something that Dylan and Cohen have in abundance.
My favourite Dylan track I think, he always was the best at being angry.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent song. I'm not usually keen on Dylan's singing but this one works well.
ReplyDeletePersonally I think Dyklan was a great songwriter but his songs generally sounded better when performed by others
Chris,
ReplyDeleteif Dylan had been me there had been more anger in his voice. :)
Jams,
exactly my opinion: An excellent songwriter, a suboptimal singer..

Chris,
ReplyDeletequite!
With 'more anger in my voice' I did not mean screaming. Difficult to explain (for me), but I think you will know what I mean.
