Your breath is sweet, your eyes are like
Two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love.
Your loyalty is not to me but to the stars above.

Chourus :
One more cup of coffee for the road.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go,
To the valley below.

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade.
He'll teach you how to pick an' choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude.
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food.

Chorus

Your sister sees the future
Like your momma and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark.
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.

Chorus

A masterful album from a master of his trade!

Reminds me of Elton John's "Sixty Years On", released six years earlier.  I don't think the creativity of that era will ever be matched.

Here's a thirty-two year old from 10 years after the comment here above. And I can tell you: as far as I am concerned, there's nobody like Dylan and his work also belongs to my early days –of soul formation, adolescence, activism and just passion for good music that has good things to say.

Solid 10 here, solid 10 everywhere he shows up.

+1 to 9 for this one.  Love the violin and the drums on this one.  And Bob's voice sounds great too!  Long Live RP!!

If you haven't seen 'Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorcese' (currently available on Netflix). I highly recommend!  This song (and violinist Scarlet Rivera), and 'Hurricane' (from the same album) are featured in the concert footage, and back-story to the film. 


Was a great flick and Scarlet Rivera is divine

You must be over 60 now. So, how does it feel? Bob Dylan was 35 when the album was released; it's strange to believe that a similarly-aged person would not be able to appreciate his music. Historically the creative output of artistic geniuses quite regularly peaked in their 20s and 30s, not their 50s and 60s.

Okay: compare Dylan's vocals from this song with his vocals from, say, Lay Lady Lay with his vocals from, say, Positively 4th street. He can out-phrase anybody but Sinatra, sure. But, to boldly  go where no fan has gone before: Dylan can also sing....

"Time out of Mind", if not great, was pretty close.  But I would agree that none of the others since Desire reach that level.

I have one big problem with this album and that is the song "Joey" about the poor misunderstood mob boss.

I don't dare to rate any Dylan song because I understand he's a genius, however I am totally insensitive to his music (and his harmonica which I'm trying to forget), and especially to his singing style (where I'm always trying to imagine it's somebody else singing). I'm sure Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré or Serge Gainsbourg create the same culture clash and non-communicativeness in the English world...

In those days you truly didn't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blew. No matter what stuff Dylan puts out now, I will always love and respect him for the amazing music he created in those times.

By 1967 the US was deeply involved a the conflict in Southeast Asia. Friends were coming home

in boxes, and by 1969 Nixon was sure that N.Vietnam could be bombed into peace. By then a dozen of my friends and a first cousin were dead and those of us in that age group who were still at home wanted to stay here. But the draft had started calling guys up, and many of us had decided we didn't see Vietnam as a threat to the US, and certainly not worth the lives of thousands of men who were dying there. Dylan wrote approx. 81 anti-war songs during that time (1962-1974) some of them classics like: "With God on Our Side", A Hard Rain's a Gonna' Fall, Masters of War, "Blowin in the Wind" and those of us who loved our country but didn't agree with the politics of that war, found a friend in Dylan. He spoke for us, justified us, and unified us. We were by no means the "Chickens" Nixon and co. called us, had any county attacked us, we would have been there to defend in a heartbeat. By 1974 more than 58,000 Americans were killed in Vietnam while over 153,000 were wounded,and the country was sadly divided.But the war was over and it was time for the USA to heal. Those who didn't live through it can't know what people like Dylan meant to us, how he and others like him helped bring an end to the seemingly never-ending caskets covered by US flags being flown back to the states day after day. If Dylan and others like him helped save one life, they accomplished their purpose. I will always be grateful for their support, they will always have a special place in my heart as they did what I wish I could have. They hastened an end to a war that was tearing this country apart and ending the lives of so many of it's finest.. To the day I die, I will be thankful for Dylan's contribution to life, and for the lives of my friends,who are still with me today.

that cover photo reminds me of a Sam Peckinpah movie: 
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is a 1973 American Western drama film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan. Written by Rudy Wurlitzer, the film is about an aging Pat Garrett, hired as a lawman by a group of wealthy New Mexico cattle barons to bring down his old friend Billy the Kid. Dylan composed several songs for the movie's score and soundtrack album Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, which was released the same year.  Peckinpah had never heard of Dylan before, but was reportedly moved by hearing Dylan play the proposed title song and hired him immediately. Among the songs written by Dylan for the film was "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," still regarded as one of rock music's most enduring anthems.

Never a Dylan fan. Usually hard to understand his voice. This is excellent, though. The bass intro and the violin added to the interest.
