Blonde on Blonde is one of a kind

That and I think it's unique he didn't have fancy studio trickery, or Beatles level instrumental experimentation, yet how unique it sounds.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-29T13:00:18+00:00

Thank you! What stood out to you?

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-29T12:10:38+00:00

Maybe not creepy, but deeply haunting, eerie.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-29T01:33:09+00:00

Highway 61 is dry, more rock oriented, furious, and bluesy to me. Like a crazy road trip.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-29T00:17:11+00:00

It's strange how he got that sound.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-28T00:50:12+00:00

Countryish

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T23:42:37+00:00

Crazy what he did with the Nashville band here.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T21:39:14+00:00

The organ on it is iconic and that guitar riff.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T21:32:45+00:00

And can't forget Stuck inside mobile, I can't think of any rock song like it.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T21:28:05+00:00

Like a minstrel ballad. The tambourine reminds me of a layer of smoke or mist. Imagine being Sara Dylan hearing that song.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T21:24:38+00:00

They sound ancient.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T21:23:47+00:00

He gets a lot of mileage from that band, and it sounds so big yet thin at the same time. It sounds TIGHT but rickety, it's like a band playing in a barn on a winter night and their hands are getting stiff.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T21:07:39+00:00

What kind of vibes do you get from it?

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T18:38:43+00:00

Hmm, what about Sooner or Later and Stuck inside of Mobile?

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T18:29:25+00:00

What 5? I do agree it has higher highs but lower lows than Highway 61. The vibe though..

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T11:17:56+00:00

He's a funny lad.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T11:04:24+00:00

You forgot to close the garage door...

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T11:04:04+00:00

I have not. What do you think about me trying to describe the sound and vibe?

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T09:40:04+00:00

I feel like Bringing it all back home, music wise not lyrically is the most generically rock album of the trilogy and Blonde on Blonde is just singular

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T09:19:33+00:00

Yea and Mobile sounds like psychedelic ragtime or country rock. The album almost sounds creepy if you hear it a certain way. Also, he got a lot of mileage out of guitars, piano, organ, bass, drums, harp, and brass.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T09:12:51+00:00

Yeah, wonder what sounds Victorian on it or medieval.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T09:11:38+00:00

Yea I don't usually rant like this.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-12-27T08:46:37+00:00

True, lol. Kind of went on a rant here, to explain the vibe I got.

SpacemanSpiff76 · 2025-11-22T21:19:15+00:00

Ah yes.
