The string bean line is pretty great…
Amen.
Yeah Neil emotes too much. Some amount of that is good but he overdoes it sound wise and with his body language.
“You hurt the ones that I loved best
And covered up the truth with lies
One day you’ll be in the ditch
Flies buzzing around your eyes
Blood on your saddle” - Idiot Wind 1982
“Give me a string-bean I’m a hungry man...”
Shotgun fired and away I ran
I don’t blame him too much though
He didn’t know me
Talking WWIII Blues 1963
“All the songs on ‘Any Day Now’ are Dylan covers.”
My post said that but said it poorly.
I like Baez for her voice, not her politics. She does song called ‘Diamonds and Rust’ about her romance with Dylan. I can’t quite believe she wrote it, and the orchestration has the fullness of ‘Any Day Now.’
I was in England in ‘64 when Dylan and Baez toured together. My parents were fans and went out and bought every album they could find of them... so I grew up listening to both. I know Baez is a leftist and many of her songs rub me the wrong way but I just love her... I’ve seen her several times in concert and she is a very engaging person. It also should be said that when the Vietcong took over Vietnam, Baez was the loudest voice criticizing them for their persecution of the ethnic Chinese who became the ‘boat people.’
