Don't know about Billboard, but, of the 10 to 15 new releases I purchased this year the ones I keep coming back to are:

Funnel Cloud, by Hem
Damaged, by Lambchop
Rebels, Rogues and Sworn Brothers, by Lucero
Nashville, by Solomon Burke

But then, I have strange tastes in music.

Are you confusing it with Maybe Someday, a great little tune from Knocked out Loaded?

LOL, Maybe I did get carried away in saying it was his best work, ever. But, it's his first album where I've liked every song. Of course that's not counting the first "Greatest Hits" album from 1967. That one was stolen from my Jeep at a Car Wash last year. I had no idea Mexicans were such big Dylan fans.

I'm still a Blonde on Blonde guy. If it was only Visions of Johanna and Absolutely Sweet Marie it would still be the best rock album ever.

Well, the moon gives light and it shines by night
When I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
O'r the road we're bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down


Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they're not what they seem.
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You'll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down.

Nice follow up to his ode to his kids - Forever Young.

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

I just checked the tune from the Toads show- its actually titled on bootlegs as-
No More Trouble- but is in fact Someday Baby.
Its done really fast- the Modern Times version is a lot better.

Thanks! I have posted the Beyond the Horizon video before but never saw the When the Deal Goes Down one.
I remember hearing that Scarlet was going to be in it...I need to study it in depth.

Got it!

For some reason Dylan cracks me up...here is Maybe Someday lyrics.

----------------------------------------

Maybe someday you'll be satisfied

When you've lost everything you'll have nothing left to hide.

When you're through running over things like you're walking 'cross the tracks,

Maybe you'll beg me to take you back.

Maybe someday you'll find out everybody's somebody's fool,

Maybe then you'll realize what it would have taken to keep me cool.

Maybe someday when you're by yourself alone

You'll know the love that I had for you was never my own.

(break)

Maybe someday you'll have nowhere to turn,

You'll look back and wonder 'bout the bridges you have burned.

You'll look back sometime when the lights grow dim

And you'll see you look much better with me than you do with him.

Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns,

Thirty pieces of silver, no money down.

Maybe someday, you will understand

That something for nothing is everybody's plan.

(break)

Maybe someday you'll remember what you felt

When there was blood on the moon in the cotton belt.

When both of us, baby, were going though some sort of a test

Neither one of us could do what we do best.

I should have known better, baby, I should have called your bluff.

I guess I was too off the handle, not sentimental enough.

Maybe someday, you'll believe me when I say

That I wanted you, baby, in every kind of way.

(break)

Maybe someday you'll hear a voice from on high Sayin' "For whose sake did you live, for whose sake did you die?"

Forgive me, baby, for what I didn't do

For not breakin' down no bedroom door to get at you.

Always was a sucker for the right cross.

Never wanted to go home 'til the last cent was lost.

Maybe someday you will look back and see

That I made it so easy for you to follow me.

(break)

Maybe someday there'll be nothing to tell.

I'm just as happy as you, baby, I just can't say it so well.

Never slumbered or slept or waited for lightning to strike.

There's no excuse for you to say that we don't think alike.

You said you were going' to Frisco, stay a couple of months.

I always liked San Francisco, I was there for a party once.

Maybe someday you'll see that it's true

There was no greater love than what I had for you.

That chick in the first one is Scarlett Johansson. Eye candy, indeed.

Brownesville Girl is one of his best songs ever, IMO

I think that video of Scarlett is shot entirely in 8mm too. It really works with that song.
