The Samuel Jackson Five - Goodbye Melody Mountain (2008)

Great instrumental rock, which isn't a genre I normally enjoy very much, but I can't argue with this. Been listening to this non-stop for the past few days.

Goodbye Melody Mountain is fantastic - on my first listen through the album, I wrote one of the first prose pieces I've written in months - thanks for sharing.

meanwhile:
No worries, glad you guys are enjoyin it  :-)

Rubin:
You know the feeling, when you download something from inhere, but never really get around to really listen to it!?

Well I've done that a couple of times.  And now I've gotten around to listen to Apple Miners Colony, and Apse, I really love both!
Thank you!

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks: New York Sessions


--- Code: ---http://www.mediaf!re.com/?4b2nuzimvjm

In 1974, Bob Dylan recorded and prepared Blood on the Tracks for release in New York.  For any number of hypothesized reasons (the most likely culprit being the same personal turmoil that generated the slate of songs), he went to Minnesota and revamped the album before releasing it.  These are the New York versions of the actual released album (I am not sure if this was how it was originally meant to be released, or simply the organization of the bootleg).  Half the songs are the same as on the released version, but the other half ("Tangled Up in Blue", "You're a Big Girl Now", "Idiot Wind", "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts", and "If You See Her, Say Hello") are different from the versions popularly known to the public.

I have to imagine that if you are reading this you like music, and thus like Bob Dylan, and thus like the original Blood on the Tracks.  In some ways this is just a footnote to the monumental album we all have in our collections, but it's interesting and important to hear how they were originally intended.  Personally, I feel that "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Idiot Wind" benefit from the more melancholy version here, while "You're a Big Girl Now" and "If You See Her, Say Hello" lose much of their gutwrenching punch.  But, on an album where each individual's favorite tracks seem to vary more than on any other release, the original versions will yield different things for different fans.
