Classic.

Tbh I wasn't looking forward to listening to this album, I thought it bore the saccharine and whispery brand of folk from the 70's that I'm not that wild about. Consider my mind changed. Yeah, that stuff is there, but the context, tone and lyrics are deep and resonant. Its density and authenticity break through the skepticism I feel about sentimentality that isn't grounded in context of equal weight or consideration.

Classic from my youth

Turns out one of my most nostalgic songs wasn't written by Rod Stewart solo.

One of my all-time favorites.

A little wonky for my taste

Fucking phenomenal man

This was actually really fun to listen to in a quiet office of IT professionals

I get the Dylan thing but, to be frank, this live performance makes me think about how overwrought his music can be. I wanted to change it halfway through. Three stars is the Hal effect of his other work.

It's like listening to the radio in 2006
