Great songwriter with a horrible voice.
Check Michael Fremer's review. He absolutely loved the record.

"Dylan sings this with not often heard vulnerability and sincerity. But that’s only a warm up to a version of “Autumn Leaves” that should silence skeptics. Dylan’s version of this seasonal metaphor is alone worth the price of admission and it more than makes up for the album’s sole misstep, a mildly C&W version of “Some Enchanted Evening” that starts side two (on vinyl) with if not a thud, then a mild clunk ."
Oh heck yes, thought he was a comedian too!Anyone remember Paul Williams the song writer who was always on Johnny Carson Tonight Show
Just once 66 still with Them, club up Creque Alley, St Thomas. Young an energetic, not long with this band, I felt. My first year in USNI was extremely luck to see Van on numerous occasions and once it was a double bill with Mr. Dylan himself, right up front at the Felt Forum in New York.
Agree a fine re-releaseThe recent remasters of Moondance and several other titles really show how good digital can sound.

Who is this Morrison fella [/QUOTE]That is just incredible. The ONLY way to impress me more is if you saw the famous jam with JIM Morrison..
Does bring up an interesting side fact that the Them version of GLORIA was not the big hit.

Well if Fremer says it's excellent then there's no disputing that claim....
Bonjour Andre, content de te lire.
* You van (can) listen to the first thirty seconds of each song from Bob's latest album simply by clicking on the above picture cover, and then by clicking that [>] (play) logo on top, @ the left of the album's title, under Bob Dylan.
The music is well recorded; nothing surprising here as Bob only uses the best musicians and studio recording engineers. ...He can afford it.
As for Bob's emotional voice from an older gentleman; that too is present/evident.
As for personal taste; that, is up to each one of us. Me, I still prefer his older stuff, from the 60s, 70s ...mostly.
<<<>>> A guy's voice I always loved and still love to this day, is Van Morrison. ...As a person, in real life, I never met/frequented him, but my best friend Will (pro artist musician/painter), living just few hundred yards from me has, and he knows him personally/directly, and he also played music with him, and with the Chieftains. ...Back then. ...He's not in love with the man; let's put it simply.
But for me, Van Morrison is constant with his voice, during his entire amazing and solid/durable career...he has more albums than Bob, I believe.
? He's in my sig for a good reason. ... The Philosopher's Stone
