Though I preferred the previous Blonde on Blonde, it's a decent Dylan album. He misspelled the old west outlaw John Wesley Hardin's name on the cover though. A Dylan obsessive friend said he spent ages studying the tree bark on the LP cover as the faces of the Beatles were rumoured to be visible (somehow).
For those of you who want to dive deeper into Leonard Cohen’s life,I highly recommend ,I am pretty sure Mark and David would agree ,you go check out the book,‘ I ‘m your man’,by the excellent writer Sylvie Simmons.I was fortunate enough to see The Finn family play in a small venue in Paris ,January 2019.Excellent show,even mum Sharon played bass on a few numbers.David’s observation of Liam,looking older than his dad,but he has so much energy,even now,I first saw his dad Neil play at Sweetwaters NZ Music festival 1980,he was galavanting all over the stage,great memories.
Well that is very worthwhile knowing about Mary Martin. We remember the Le Coq d'Or on Yonge St, one of the homes of The Band. Of course, there is the sequel to 'I Predict a Riot', - If There isn't a Riot, I'll Eat my Toque
That harmonica note at the start of wicked messenger is class.Whole JWH album says more with less than everything else that was exploding in the paint factory around him. I dreamed I saw St Augustine is like church music
I shall always reserve a warm thought for “Ned” Mendelsohn for turning me on to The Move, Shazam l.p. which he enthusiastically reviewed in Rolling Stone waaaaaay back then. Yep I still have the tear sheet.
Having just listened to "that thin wild mercury sound" a book about the making of blonde on blonde, i can say you are both well off with the statements about just bob and two musicians. That said, happy new year and thanks for the entertaining listens! 😊
Paul McCartney is so bloody rich he can afford the best health care and food in the world, it's no surprise he can still play a decent gig in his 80's. Last time I heard him talking in an interview I thought he sounded a bit frail, maybe he was having an 'off' day.
I always associate Richard Perry with Bill Schnee. I can't say that I understand the different roles of the record producer and the engineer. But as a listener, I assume that what I am hearing a synergistic effect of the work of both of them. For example, on the Leo Sayer album "Endless Flight" I believe that Bill Schnee was engineering the Steely Dan album "Aja" and encountered the drummer Steve Gadd for the first time. He was so impressed that he insisted that Richard Perry should try to record Steve Gadd which he did there and then. And that's how Steve ends up on "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". A lesser known Richard Perry/Bill Schnee recording which is a very enjoyable listen is Lon & Derek Van Eaton's "Who do you out do?"
Generally speaking, the engineer will be working the desk and operating the machinery of the recording. The producer will effectively be the sound designer and director, making the creative calls. Hope that helps! ~ Alex
Brother, no offense to anybody, but I was there in 1967, and Leonard Cohen was nowhere on the radar. Or the map. Not in the same universe. Maybe in NYC or university faculty lounges or the remaining coffee houses, I dunno. And certainly not compared to the great John Wesley Harding album (and the Dylan albums preceding it and the ones following it.) Blonde On Blonde before it and Nashville Skyline after it---NEVER repeating himself, always creating, and always something no one expected that always changed everything.
I loved John Wesley Harding, a brilliant album. Such a great break from him trying to be a rock star!

Makes me feel SO ancient when Leonard Cohen was considered old when starting in the music biz at 33.
I got God Bless Tiny Tim when I was 8 or 9 when all I had were Monkees records. I was spooked stunned and bewildered.

Heavy rock with a 12-string guitar. It may be the only example.

hi. patti smith has her son in the band now. brilliant show
Your guest, when asked how she was, replied 'very well' (or something like that) rather than 'good'. Hooray! Someone who talks properly!
"Am" might be a verb but it's a pretty poor excuse for a verb. All you have to do is exist.
Richard Thompson did and album called Family, with, his sons, his daughter and his nephew

Ray-Gun stopped the summer when he called out the national guard on Berkeley
