No, I don't hear any Dub in this, but he doesn't have the clever phrasing that he was later to use in more recent recordings of this song!
I think he was still "learning" the song here! (as Gaughan says, "you don't know a song until you've sung it a few hundred times-it still surprises you"!)

Do you hear the dublin accent coming out in this version. LAter versions revert to his northern vernacular...

@pauricbr People say this. I dunno. Madonna hit the public with Like a Virgin 25 years ago. Seemed to learn dancing in aerobics classes. Didn't sing that well and still doesn't. Her lyrics don't even reach mediocre. She plays no instrument. And we still hear about her, and many insist that, not only is she a Goddess but intelligent and a humanitarian. I just stumbled on Paul Brady a few days ago. Played him incessently through the day all this week. But until Monday, I never heard of him.

No other version comes any where near Bradys, this is the way god would have it played it, and he,s irish too, any one who begs to differ, shall be shot at ten paces with a ball of their own shite.

Damn Masterpiece, it is.

@technischesKO Disagree my good man with the tuning. Ole Dylan might not have know the tuning for Arthur Mcbride but In his early days Bob used alot of altered tunings, mostly for old blues and the like. Lol sorry just defending his honor!

nobody sing this song like paul brady the open g tune and his tone style best version ever my opinion
-
"dylan is not good enough to tune his guitar" - aftermath. thought that comment was very funny and there's a lot of truth in it. when dylan met brday in new yoork his first question was "what's the guitar tuning on arthur mcbride man?" no kiddin'. brady told that story in an interview.

A terrific insight into the development of Paul's definitive version of this great song.
Excellent though this is in its own right, the 1977 version is far superior. Still, it's a delight to hear the evidence that the supreme interpretation was clearly the product of years of honing and improvement.
Great post!
