Dylan's usual self-referential persona disappears in this collection.<br /><br />I think Dylan was paying homage to the artists who (and a genre which) inspired him when he was young. Instead of doing an album of covers (that would be next), he wrote his versions of them. He's always experimented with masks and poses. This was his country squire period.Reinaldo Garcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-84308589745361621652009-07-10T03:46:47.934-07:002009-07-10T03:46:47.934-07:00There is this quote by Dylan that in these years h...There is this quote by Dylan that in these years he tried learn to do "consciously what I used to be able to do unconsciously". That means he had to start from the pit and learn songwriting anew. <br /><br />What he did on Nashville Skyline was to try his hand at the genre of so-called "simple" love songs. He must have listened to and studied a lot of different music, not only country but also mainstream popular songs. <br /><br />The lyrics of "Tell Me That It Isn't True" are for example derived from - but in no way as good as - an old Irving Berlin classic ("Say It Isn't So", 1932). "One More Night" is simply a finger exercise in writing that would make every songwriter of the older generation cringe (Berlin or someone like Johnny Mercer would have been ashamed of these kind of dummy lyrics).Jürgen Klosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320518895348914652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-70231132854400739232009-07-09T18:27:25.243-07:002009-07-09T18:27:25.243-07:00Arguably, this radical change of direction was a v...Arguably, this radical change of direction was a very UNoriginal and cliched move. BD going all gooey and loved-up just because he was starting on the "young family" chapter.<br /><br />I'm sick of hearing about former hell-raisers and rebels who have suddenly morphed into caring dads - it's all sooo predictable.<br /><br />Just offering another view, another shockingly conventional "side" of our dear leader.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062180895899998738noreply@blogger.com
