Anyone coming through these doors could probably fill this jukebox with the Bob Dylan songs they love or feel best represent his songwriting. | |||
My assignment was merely to plot a line in and out of some of the greatest songs ever written. Okay, on another day, perhaps some of the choices might have been different but most of them are undeniable. | |||
There are clues and echoes throughout the Dylan song catalogue: the rhythm or a motif from an old blues record; an air that bore up a tale of doomed lovers becomes an alarm sounded at the approach of a wider dread. | |||
The strangeness of old songs provided the carriage for a wilder love or cold accounts of the brutal spilling of blood; the price of theft and the beauty of the songs people made in order to endure all of this; songs of “the folk,” wherever they came from, wherever they intended to be. | |||
So a glimpse of Buddy Holly or an echo of Sinatra on a Tommy Dorsey side on the radio turns up on records made decades later, just as surely as folk tunes shared among companions in Greenwich Village were sent back to England to be electrified and then traveled back to America to be broadcast to the world. | |||
Some of Dylan’s earliest recordings were made for his music publisher, so it is that his songs have lived in many other interpretations and translations into other languages, his melodies inspiring his contemporaries and colleagues, jazz instrumentalists, or transformed by vocal artists with entirely different gifts. This is a process that stretches from recordings of Dylan songs by The Soul Stirrers and Elvis Presley to today’s popular music stars. | |||
The deeper, darker corners of the catalogue sometimes found advocates for songs the author had not yet recorded himself, so tunes cut down in a basement became secrets, whispered about by the curious before appearing in the hit parade. | |||
On occasion, I have chosen the more recently released ''Bootleg Series'' versions of famous songs. It is tempting to hear something more intimate and unguarded in these renditions but if one only hears the clarity and unwavering focus of Dylan’s vocal on multiple takes of “Like A Rolling Stone” as the ensemble gathers in force towards the master take, you will learn that songs are a lifelong work-in-progress. | |||
If you asked me to name my favourite Bob Dylan song, one day I might cite “Not Dark Yet” or “Every Grain of Sand;” the vivid, regretful scene of “One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)” or, in other words, “I Threw It All Away.” On another day I would point emphatically to “Cross the Green Mountain,” a song of such deep and mysterious sadness that it stands entirely outside of its origins and seems to have something to offer in every tragic moment. | |||
If asked to summarize, I might not even select a single Dylan title but one of his own wonderful interpretations from the riches of popular song to which he had added so much. | |||
“''I go away weekends, leave my keys in the door''" | |||
- “Why Try to Change Me Now” | |||
So turn the key and walk right in. | |||
Yours through music and song. | |||
