Poor Bob. It’s just painful listening to him now. Sounds like he gargled razor blades.
For the life of me, I do not understand folks that jump on Dylan threads to trash. And if is so painful, why subject yourself? Get a better hobby.
“Poor Bob. Its just painful listening to him now. Sounds like he gargled razor blades.”
The one and only time I saw Dylan was December 1964, at Wilson High School, Long Beach CA.
His music, then and now, isn’t about his singing; it is about the melody, and the instrumental composition, arrangement and performance.
Yes, his singing voice has gone down hill, from not so hot to begin with. Instrumentals still good.
His band for years was “The Band” and he was also part of the “Traveling Wilburies.”

See if you like “Lay Lady Lay” on which original, country great played guitar, back in 1969. Written but not used in the film “Midnight Cowboy.”

Here is “Peggy Day” which was the flipside on the 45 with “Lay Lady Lay”
IMHO, He always sounded like that.
