Desire- Dylan

[Questions]

Have been playing it tonight and I really do think it is one of the top ten albums of all time. From the injustices of Hurricane to the rich tones of Mozambique it really does sound as good now as when I first heard it all those years ago.

I ate some clams in Umbertos on Mulberry Street in Little Italy one night a few years back with Joey playing in my head and swore he was gonna come bursting in.

Magic album.

Come to think of it, Street Legal ain't far behind.

Stunning album. Shame about the muddy production. I'm not so sure about the injustices of Hurricane. Didn't he actually admit to the crime in the end?

One of my top 5 albums - not a bad track on it but "Sara" sells it for me

A very good shout.

I,m not sure he confessed to murder Binney although later in life he did admit to some pretty bad stuff.
Robbery and plenty of violence when he was young I think.

It's easily my favourite Dylan album. An absolute classic.

Levon Helm of the Band RIP

The Band were not on this album as far as I can remember. My favourite album is Street Legal. The music is good on Desire but .....

Joey Gallo was CRAZY but it says so in the lyrics.

Some Desire outtakes new to me surfaced a couple of months including a stunning (IMO) alt version of Joey.

I love the album and Dylan was performing some of his greatest live performances at the end of 1975, spring of 1976 that took the nuances in the songs to new dimensions. The Bootleg Series Live 1975 did not do this period any justice although I do love the 1 hour DVD Hard Rain, live in May 1976, def worth seeking out if you have not seen it especially for the version of Idiot Wind (obviously not on Desire but BOTT)

Truly an amazing album. Hurricane is full of factual inaccuracies and distortions e.g. Carter was nowhere near number one contender at the time and his career was in free fall. Seems fairly likely that he was involved in the crime.

One of my Fav. Blood on the tracks is my preference thow.
