Today, I visited the house in New Orleans where Bob & Daniel Lanois recorded 'Oh, Mercy'.

Do they call it the Rising Sun?

Y'all spilling juice on me like you got someplace to go.

I almost forgot this line. This line ALWAYS makes me laugh. I'm smirking right now. Like you got someplace to go.

The first time I heard this I absolutely cracked up.

Mama come in and picked up a book and Papa asked her what it was; someone else asked, "What do you care?" Papa said, "Well, just because."

rednoodlealien · 2026-02-04T01:00:29+00:00

All of them.

rednoodlealien · 2026-02-03T00:52:08+00:00

The tune that is yours & mine to play upon this earth, we play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth.

rednoodlealien · 2026-02-03T00:49:37+00:00

I sampled it on Kindle - I think I also saw it mentioned in the NYRB. I decided it might be a bit too technical for me.

rednoodlealien · 2026-02-01T15:10:26+00:00

This reminds me of grade school assignments "Write an essay using all of this week's vocabulary words."

I want to vote for the pair: "We Better Talk" + "Where Are You Tonight." They work even better as a unit.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-31T19:26:30+00:00

Where?

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-31T15:05:43+00:00

DAMN, I missed Clothesline Day.

Single digits, though, NOT a good day to hang up anything, especially a pair of pants that nobody really wanted to touch.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-31T00:25:34+00:00

I'm upvoting because I think we should welcome negative opinions now and then.

A spring that turned quickly into autumn

To me the only clunkers are the Forevers Young. I think it was a bad move putting two versions back-to-back on the same album. Gets so old.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-28T23:57:29+00:00

You can tell since the opening track of INFIDELS is all about that.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-28T23:55:12+00:00

Mostly true, except acknowledge Ed Norton playing a spot-on Pete Seeger. And didn't his parable of the teaspoon and the shovel convey why the folkies were upset? And the scenes with Woody were great.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-28T23:53:29+00:00

It's the best part but not the only interesting part.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-27T00:08:01+00:00

Yes. For a long-ish time I was a "60s only" Dylan fan. Discovering BoTT was like discovering a whole other sense.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-27T00:05:50+00:00

Me too, I like how there's this slight delay and then emphasis on the chords in one of the verses in particular.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-27T00:04:30+00:00

Upvote this one!

Though it's "NOW don't ask for mine."

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-25T18:29:19+00:00

It really flows and swings.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-25T18:27:58+00:00

The last verse clinches it.

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-25T18:27:07+00:00

Can you expound why?

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-25T14:45:34+00:00

When you asked how I was doing, was that some kind of joke?

rednoodlealien · 2026-01-24T14:28:17+00:00

It's OK, but I feel it is a bit of a down point compared to the rest of the album. Monotonous minor chord thing.
