Jason Xion Wang Review: New Dylan Album-Shadows in the Night (45) RE: Review: New Dylan Album-Shadows in the Night 12 Dec 14


Hey, I've listened to the sample and it's much better than I had expected. He's doing something he likes to do, and it turns out to be - not bad. So why not be supportive? It doesn't aim for commercial success or critical acclaim; sorta "sing for the song" stuff to me.

I can't stand most of the cover songs Bob Dylan did, but as long as he likes doing things like that... There are exceptions, though, like Tom Paxton's "Annie's Going to Sing Her Song", on which Bob did a nice rendition. But I think he kinda ruined Eric Andersen's "Thirsty Boots". I found his "Complete Basement" tapes really hard to listen to, too. This Frank Sinatra tune he did is much better than most of the cover songs he'd done before.
