High Water (For Charley Patton)
"High Water (For Charley Patton)" is a song written and performed by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released as the seventh track on his 31st studio album '' "Love and Theft"'' in 2001 and anthologized on the compilation album ''Dylan'' in 2007. Like much of Dylan's 21st century output, he produced the track himself under the pseudonym Jack Frost. The song draws its title from Charley Patton's "High Water Everywhere", and is meant as a tribute to that bluesman although Dylan scholar Tony Attwood notes that the song, both musically and lyrically, has little point of contact with the original Patton work. Composition and recording Lyrically, "High Water (For Charley Patton)" is similar to Dylan's 1983 song "Blind Willie McTell" and his 2020 song "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" in that it pays tribute to the titular blues singer only indirectly. In spite of the title, and references to the Blues in the lyrics, the song is not itself a blues but rather a three-chord banjo-driven folk ...

Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning more than 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and " The Times They Are a-Changin' (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and antiwar movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture. Following his self-titled debut album in 1962, which comprised mainly traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of ''The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'' the following year. The album features "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex " A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall". Many of his s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Modern Times (Bob Dylan Album)
''Modern Times'' is the 32nd studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 29, 2006, by Columbia Records. The album was the third work (following '' Time Out of Mind'' and '' Love And Theft'') in a string of albums by Dylan that garnered wide acclaim from critics. It continued its predecessors' tendencies toward blues, rockabilly and pre-rock balladry, and was self-produced by Dylan under the pseudonym "Jack Frost". Despite the acclaim, the album sparked some debate over its uncredited use of choruses and arrangements from older songs, as well as many lyrical lines taken from the work of 19th-century poet Henry Timrod. ''Modern Times'' became Dylan's first album in the U.S. since 1976's ''Desire''. It was also his first album to debut at the summit of the ''Billboard'' 200, selling 191,933 copies in its first week.

I've Made Up My Mind To Give Myself To You
"I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You" is a song written and performed by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and released as the fourth track on his 2020 album ''Rough and Rowdy Ways''. The song is performed in 6/8 time and has a lilting melody that has caused some critics to compare it to a "lullaby". It is the only song on the album to feature a guitar solo and one of only two songs (the other being "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)") to feature backing vocals. Composition and recording The basic melody heard in the song's verses is closely based on Jacques Offenbach's barcarolle "Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour" from his 1881 opera ''Tales of Hoffmann'' but the vocal melody that Dylan sings over it is original and he has also added a bridge. (Offenbach's famous barcarolle has also served as the inspiration for other popular songs including "Tonight is So Right For Love", which Elvis Presley sang in the 1960 film ''G.I. Blues'',' and 1968's "Please Don't Go", which feature ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Under The Red Sky
''Under the Red Sky'' is the Bob Dylan discography, 27th studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on September 10, 1990, by Columbia Records. It was produced by Don Was, David Was, and Dylan (under the pseudonym Jack Frost). The album was largely greeted as a disappointing follow-up to 1989's critically acclaimed ''Oh Mercy''. Most of the criticism was directed at the slick sound of rock producer Don Was, as well as a handful of tracks that seem rooted in children's nursery rhymes. It is a rarity in Dylan's catalog for its inclusion of celebrity cameos by Jimmie Vaughan, Slash (musician), Slash, Elton John, George Harrison, David Crosby, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Bruce Hornsby. Dedication The album is dedicated to "Gabby Goo Goo", now thought to be Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan, Dylan's daughter by Carolyn Dennis, born on January 31, 1986.
