Introductory Remarks
Just some brief points here for now — more to follow:
1. Time passes slowly #1 & 2 are definitely keepers.
2. The new piano version of Spanish Is The Loving Tongue is nice too, but nowhere near the circulating solo piano version. It’s a step in the direction of its consummate cousin, but it comes nowhere near it on any scale.
3. Another Self Portrait does not redeem Self Portrait (“What’s this shit?”) as an album, but the new tracks do add to a more nuanced picture of the project (or less pompously: the development) that Self Portrait is a witness of.
4. The Isle of Wight concert is the first and probably the most radical re-invention Dylan has made in his entire career. Going electric was nothing in comparison.
5. Who will be the first to find the source from which Dylan has stolen the cover image? A flickr account? An underrated b/w photographer from the 30s? A Barnes & Nobles commercial delivered to the tour bus in Stirling Castle during the 2001 tour?
The following tracks are also on the album, and tabs exist for them, but maybe not in the same version. Use Search to find them.
