RANDOM MUSIC THOUGHTS

I have been listening to a lot of the music that got me into music in the first place, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Marley, Muddy Waters.

What makes a good album? For me it has to be cohesive , have a begining, middle and end. Also the sounds used need to fit together across the whole album. Blood On The Tracks comes to mind, an album that uses a minimum amount of instruments, textures and song structures, but still manages to devastate on each listening.

Blood on the Tracks!! Dylan's most emotionally powerful work, his most intimate, most vulnerable, and most real, written in the wake of his failed marriage.

James, stay away from her she is no good for you, let her disappear like smoke.
