"Desire" is a Bob Dylan album we were all supposed to like. I never did.
I even have the super-spiffy MFSL (Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs) version. Didn't make a difference. I'm an Emmylou fan, too. I don't like any of her vocals here. It's less singing and more braying and I never think of her that way on her own stuff.
Hurricane: The bongos and fiddle interplay kind of gives me an aneurism.
Isis: Not bad, maybe my favorite song off the album, bit it doesn't make me like the album as a whole.
Mozambique: I can't get past the whole "He put de lime in de co co nut" vibe. Didn't like Harry's song, either.
One More Cup Of Coffee: Leaden, sluggish. It wants to be a "Blood On The Tracks" song. Try harder.
Oh, Sister: The sensation of smoking some bad "couch lock" indica and just wanting the high to go away.
Joey: 11 minutes long? Really?
Romance in Durango: The whole vibe of the album is really pissing me off at this point.
Black Diamond Bay: One vibe! This album only has one vibe!
Sara: Like "Isis"...those two songs on a different album would have worked a lot better for me.
Previous studio album was, of course, Blood On The Tracks...sheer perfection. The one that followed this was Desire...ditto. Two of my all time favorite Bob albums bookending one that never really spoke to me at all.
