JeremyC Carthy Discusses Dylan (61* d) RE: Carthy Discusses Dylan 28 Jun 07


Awesome. That's a great song.

On the topic of the Dylan-Baez thing, I recently read Dick Weissman's book "Which Side Are You On?" where he says something along the lines of "Joan Baez was surprised to have run across someone more coldly ambitious and calculating than herself." Provocative! I hadn't run across this contention with re: to Baez before, although I'd been told this about Dylan.

Also, the song I was thinking of earlier, where she tries and fails to sing it convincingly, was "East Virginia," on her self-titled album. Her diction is too correct for her to get away with words like "holler" and "darlin'"--if she'd just said "hollow" and "darling," it would have been fine, and I never would have noticed anything amiss.
