Old school music is cool!

For those of us who may not enjoy Rock Music & Blues (What! Really?) here is a gospel version of the same song taken from the album "Dylan's Gospel".

Bob Dylan has to be among the best songwriters of our age. Unfortunately, the art of songwriting is dying as modern lyrics consist mainly of repeated grunts, shouts, swearing and Ye Baby. No imagination and no artistic ability at all. The so-called artists write two lines that they overheard someone else mumble on the bus and then think they have written a song.

Here is a number made famous by Jimi Hendrix and was recorded by just about anyone who can play a guitar. Who else could write poetry like this? Enjoy.

Fully agreed. I'm a huge Bob Dylan Fan and I'm in my twenties. I still remember importing his "Highway 61 Revisited" album through Musica when I was 17 because no other music store had it. I've got just about every cd and unofficial bootleg with Dylan's name on.

Here's a great live set from 1975 (Oh Sister & Simple Twist of Fate)

This is my first post on this forum, apologies for not having introduced myself. I am a huge fan of blues and rock music, so really enjoyed reading this thread. When I was a student in the 80’s I received my music education by listening to the Rock Professor, Chris Prior. I remember sitting with pen and paper writing down song and album names. I still have those notes and have not managed to track down all the music, although it has become easier now that we have the Internet.

Then, a few years ago I was bored and scanning the radio waves, and suddenly heard a familiar voice! It was him, playing his music! Every Thursday on Radio Today 1485 AM or DSTV audio channel 869. I have hardly missed a show since, and still write down the details with the intention of finding the music and purchasing it.

It is well worth a listen if you haven’t discovered it yet.

Cheers

KC
