Is it ok if I sit this one out please? I listened to it once today and I'm not listening to it again thanks. Bad singing is bad singing and no matter how good the songs are, it's still bad singing.
I think the phrase "small doses" was invented for Dylan.
I get he is revered and respected, and song writing wise I'd agree, but there's no excuse for this.
Surrounded by other musicians as he was on the wilburys album, great, his contribution shines through. But left to his own devices, especially on this album in particular, mmm not convinced.
Apologies to the Dylan fans, but there's no denying this vocal performance is quite awful. If there was one or two upbeat tunes I might forgive it a little, but I found myself hankering for a bit of that Cohen album to cheer me up a bit.
I'm struggling, really struggling, to give it 1/10.
I'd rather not vote at all than give it what it's worth, which is fuck all.
I'm sorry, usually I can find something positive but this is just unpleasant (to my ears anyway)
Ok I'll give it 2/10 just as long as I don't have to go through it all again.
Really sorry to the many fans, I don't mean to be disrespectful I really don't, but I have to write what I hear.
It’s your opinion, nothing to apologise about!
Only disagreement with you is that you couldn’t hear anything upbeat on here ??!
‘Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum’ , ‘Summer Days’ , ‘Lonesome Day Blues’ and ‘High Water’ … all really upbeat tempo Blues tracks
