everyone ready for a soundtrack album? with Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid

723

banger of a film fwiw

724

really lovely album, great summery vibes, perfect combo with New Morning. Think I could stick those two on in a row on any sunny day and instantly be happier

the are fewer peaks but at his best Iā€™m thinking I prefer 70s Dylan to 60s

This is fine. One of the few Dylan albums you could stick on as background music. Thatā€™s not what I want out of Bob though.

Always sorta washed over me has this album. Looking forward to listening to it with a different perspective

728

Although, Main Title Theme (Billy) is beautiful, Iā€™ll give the man that.

Yeah good album this, not my favourite of the era but I like it.

Knockinā€™ on Heavenā€™s Door has such a weird place in Dylanā€™s career. On the one hand itā€™s really not much of a song, two short verses and a 2.5 min runtime, on the other hand it does have something to it that makes it one of his best known songs (maybe his best known) - maybe just a killer chorus. I wonder how much the GnR cover had to do with its prominenceā€¦

Really like this, big fan of albums like this but donā€™t think its a good as Bruce Langhorneā€™s soundtrack for the The Hired Hand (who played on this and other Dylanā€™s album and is also rumoured to be the subject of Mr Tambourine Man)

Small correction

Always thought this one was a complete dud but enjoying it a lot on first listen

Will say again - feels like quite a long time since weā€™ve had a classic (Blonde for me, not JWH) but have enjoyed all of these to a degree. Not had a shocker yet really
