Yes, indeed, but the finished album knocks one's socks off.<br />e.Ed Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703797864648081829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-73088332484247425612018-11-05T11:20:19.608-06:002018-11-05T11:20:19.608-06:00Over the years, I've come across many an opini...Over the years, I've come across many an opinion stating that Dylan should have kept the original New York recordings for 'Blood On The Tracks', which I've always thought was total tosh. It's true those songs with just Bob and the bass player are quite lovely and contain a power of their own but he knew it wasn't enough. Indeed, it would seem that his brother, David, also felt they didn't cut the mustard. The tracks he laid down in Minnesota and finally released on the record are spot on. Compare any of the NY takes of either 'Idiot Wind' or 'Tangled Up In Blue' with the full band tracks and it's like they've had a rocket put under them. Everything about them, including lyric tweaks, is on another level. Bob was right to trust his instincts, which is part of his genius.Rickety Racketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498526138145808393noreply@blogger.com
