JeremyC Carthy Discusses Dylan (61* d) RE: Carthy Discusses Dylan 12 Jun 07


I was finally able to listen to the show last night, and it's quite a good overview of what was going on at the time (based on what else I've seen and read, because I don't have the benefit some of you do of first-hand experience). I don't believe all the commentary was fair; for instance, the comment about "beauty in ugliness" seemed unwarranted, and the "sand and glue" comparison at the beginning was just ridiculous.

Martin Carthy was very fair to Dylan, but the editorial tone was not. I think Carthy helped balance the tone of the program.

The most striking thing to me were the clips of Baez. I haven't listened to her in a long time, and the purity of her voice really hits hard. I'd actually forgotten just how beautiful it was. Plus, I'd never heard "Diamonds and Rust," and now I'll have to get that album.
