Hello everyone, and welcome to another benign Saturday evening here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today we're going to be bringing back the regular Saturday fixture, Album of the Week. Considering how long it's been since we've done an Album of the Week post, I figured today I'd treat everyone to not just one album, but a three disc box set. So, sit back, pour yourself a glass of lemonade, cut a slice of apple pie (what the hell is this?!) and enjoy this Album of the Week post.
Album of the Week:
Bob Dylan's Biograph [Disc's 1,2 & 3] (1985)
Biograph, a three disc box set spanning the first 19 years of Bob Dylan's career, is the perfect display of the array of Dylan's musical abilities. From thought provoking (and some just nonsensical) lyrics, to intricate melodies plucked out on just a guitar, and weary, nasally vocals. Bob Dylan really was the perfect example of a Singer/Songwriter, and I don't believe that I could have put together a better collection of songs from the early years (Alright, maybe I could have, but surely nobody else!).
By the way Biograph is presented, it looks as if a die-hard Dylan fan took all his albums, scattered them on the floor, and chose the best songs from each album. It is not presented chronologically, nor is it presented in any clearly seen arrangement. This is all well and good, I say, because in the end, this is just a really spot-on collection of Dylan's best songs up til' 1981.
So, here are a couple (my absolute favorite) tracks from the three discs of Biograph. Some of my absolute favorites are not included here though, as I have posted them in earlier posts, and am NOT a fan of reposting songs. So, I hope you enjoy these.
Baby, Let Me Follow You Down - Bob Dylan
Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - Bob Dylan
Positively 4th Street - Bob Dylan
Til' Tomorrow
