I can connect to the song 'Going going gone'.
About 5 or 6 years before Dire straits came on to
the scene, I was only a child. My Dad was constantly
playing great records. Amongst these, he regularly
played 3 albums by Dylan. 'Desire', Blood on the tracks'
and 'Planet waves'.These songs as a child, seemed to weave
their way into my soul.
The song that seemed to grab me the most
was Going going gone, especially the opening part
on the guitar. It had a Knopfler feel to it even before
Knopfler came onto the scene. It may have even
been this song which sowed the seed in my brain,
so that when Knopfler's guitar playing arrived on the
scene a few years later, my ears must have pricked up.
My favourite Dylan records are definitely from the 70's
& early 80's. 'Slow train coming' is my favourite,
& not even for Mark's exquisite guitar playing,
but for Dylans vocals, & the way he delivers the songs.
'Precious Angel' is for me Dylans overall best song.
Again not just for the great guitar, but for the way Bob
sings.
Cheers. BBB
