Young Bob had that magic over his voice, today some 40 years later it's still magic. The only "type of voice" in his career I don't like is the one he started with in his religious period, "Lay lady lay" is a typical example, some kind of falcetto-thing that I don't really get.
@wildhias I never knew that you recorded a rendition of that song until I heard it on "Oh Brother". And I cannot say anyone else captured the sadness and road weariness of the song better. But who would not love the Soggy Bottom Boys.
@Mr2at I'm with you there. Honestly, his lyrics are extremely simple, too simple for his music to be extremely simple as well save his harmonica. Not to mention he'd have a better time getting Michael J. Fox to sit still than holding a goddamn tune.
@AlainnaE you can hardly call this poetry, dylan uses the simplest language possible. Try John Darnielle from the mountain goats, he is easily a much better musician than bob dylan. Or Tegan and Sara, Wayne Coyne, Isaac Brock, Billy Corgan, or Bon Iver. All of them blow Dylan out of the water.
@ColonelTobiasFunke it doesn't really matter, in my opinion, which words are used or how difficult they are. Rather it matters how its sung and spoken and whether I feel like it means something to people. The simplest things can be the best and for the record ; Bob Dylan didn't even write this song. It's an old folk song. But the feeling is what counts not the words.
Why the fuck the 1963 version in Live is unable in France -_-

@Freddeh74 Lay Lady Lay is not from his religious period and it isn't falsetto.

@queiloroincontri regardless, I still don't like the period during which he sang like that

haha love Dylan- normally his versions are the best - but since 2001 this song is simply owned by the Soggy Bottom Boys

Sorry, just don't get Dylan. I know millions and billions love him but I just don't get it.

@ColonelTobiasFunke I don't think his lyrics are very simple at all. I don't know many people who write music and poetry, quite like Dylan.

@ColonelTobiasFunke Man of ... Sorrow is a very old song. Not by Dylan. He mastered it in his Village days, recorded it in '63.
