10/10 album. This is the only album George Harrison brought to India.

I like how he used a pretty limited palette of instruments to make songs which still had such a strong individual character. It had variation while remaining incredibly cohesive. I also get the impression that he was enjoying himself quite a bit while recording the songs which I always like.

he specifically tried to downplay the album by calling it a "folk album" and claiming that it wasnt a good example of the genre, when in fact the album is not a folk album.
>>66499040
Dylan is shit though.
>>66499297
lol nice one kid
Blood on the tracks is better
>>66499264
I think it's folk.
>>66499368
its not
>>66499364
blonde is lyrically and musically superior
>>66499368
It isn't, some folk tropes and idioms turn up obviously as Bob is a folk musician but he didn't make a folk album here.
>>66499368
It's folk-rock, and one of the first of it's kind along with Dylan's other albums.
>>66499401
you don't decide genres.
in my fucking opinion and according to my fucking taste it's folk

Visions of Johanna totally falls under folk. Not the anon you're speaking to and I agree most of BoB isn't folk but VoJ certainly is. If Astral Weeks is considered contemporary folk, Dylan's hopeless ode is.
It's folk
>>66499616
maybe. i mean, yeah, i can see that being under folk but its got some subtle psychedelic vibes to it as well.
>>66499680
its not
ITT: Underage kids think
White man + acoostic geetah = folk
>>66499780
its funny bc im pretty sure bob is on the piano/electric guitar most of this album
Maybe it's because you prefer stale boring music? This some boring folk garbage. If only you listened to some truly in-depth folk based music like John Fahey and Robbie Basho, but such brilliant minds are probably too much for you to handle.
If your favorite folk album isn't by:
John Fahey
Robbie Basho
Steffen Basho-Junghans
Sir Richard Bishop
Then you have no taste in true American folk music.
>>66499496
>they have an opinion
:(
>folk
Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, or as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs with no known composers; another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time.
>contemporary folk
Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk revival music to distinguish it from earlier folk forms.[1] This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, folk metal, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music.
>>66499872
>it's only folk if it's instrumental fingerpicking American Primitivism
>>66499872
>some truly in-depth folk based music
Read Song and Dance Man III: The Art of Bob Dylan and tell me Dylan hasn't put the effort into studying folk music.
Or listen to any single episode of his radio show.
And Fahey didn't consider himself a folk musician btw.
>>66499735
whoops
>>66499872
its not folk you dip!
and bob dylan is the most universally respected folk musician, he pretty much single handedly revived the genre
>>66499968
folk-rock =/= folk
>>66499968
The folk people hated Dylan when he started making folk-rock. It's not the same thing at all.
>>66499735
whoops 3
>>66500008
>>66499968
Folk-Rock isn't folk.
>>66500013
>he pretty much single handedly revived the genre
Yeah, Dylan, who got his start in the folk revival movement that had been going on for at least twenty years revived the genre.
I've seen a lot of dumb things said about Dylan, this has to be the dumbest.
Well, it's not even the greatest album of 1966.
Hell, it's not even the greatest album of May 16, 1966.
>>66499735
whoops 4
>>66500013
>he pretty much single handedly revived the genre
the "second folk revival" of the later 20th century brought a new genre of popular music with artists marketed through concerts, recordings and broadcasting. One of the earliest figures in this revival was Woody Guthrie, who sang traditional songs in the 1930s and 1940s as well as composing his own.
>>66500062
Nobody's actually sure the exact day BoB was released.
>>66499955
>implying all American primitivism is fingerpicking
Fucking retard
>>66499960
>studying folk music
You mean copying ideas from other musicians he met along the way in his journey as an artist?
And no shit Fahry wouldn't consider himself folk. His folk was so much superior he didn't wanna get grouped with inferior losers like Dylan.

>>66500155
we don't give a fuck
>>66500153
>troll
>implying I said anything wrong
>>66500110
That's not a little difference, he literally changed the face of music forever by adding electric instrumentation to folk arraignments.
>>66500175
obviously you did or you wouldnt have called it out you little bitch

doesnt that sound like bait?
>>66500182
Fahey was on the scene before Dylan was, he wouldn't need to to worry about being grouped with Dylan at the time of that quote.
And no, American Primitivism is just as removed from Traditional Folk Music as Contemporary Folk Music. Just because one's artsier doesn't change the meaning of words.
>>66500062
Blonde on blonde> pet sounds
>>66500428
Cool. Doesn't change the main point that not only is AP rooted in folk, but also that it's far more superior to Dylgarbage

And nothing you've said negates the fact that Dylan is rooted in folk and a hefty amount of his material is actually folk.

Nah, I don't care about baby shit like that. Cuz Dylan is shit either way.
>>66500523
yeah, also blonde on blonde is mainly folk

but its not and screenshotting the folk-rock tag on wikipedia doesnt prove it is
>>66500602
when I listen to it I feel like it's folk
>>66500546
Your first post made the claim about having taste in "true American folk music"
Why is Obviously Five believers such a good jam?
>>66500619
That includes everything from Dylan to Guthrie to Fahey, you dip. I never thought summer posters would be this stupid.
>>66500482
memes xd haha
kill yourself faggot
Now this is what I call FOLK
Much better than bobby drylan
>>66500648
Been here four years. You've also done nothing to show how Fahey or Basho is superior to Dylan or any other folk artist. If your claim was being all-inclusive why make the differentiation in the first place
Hint: Half of what's on Fahey's albums can be found on old country blues recordings.

Only half though. Fahey and crew make music far more interesting than regurgitated folk garbage taking it to the next level. There are so many techniques happening that your puny mind won't even be able to comprehend them. Shit even when Dylan turned electric it was still the same old shit played through an amp
All right, so we have some actual discussion here, what album of his is consistently as good as shit like Visions of Johanna, Mr Tambourine Man, Desolation Row and It's Alright Ma?
So far I've restricted myself to his "protester" and "surreal" days and it's pissing me off how even then, he seems to be really hit or miss, but the few hits hit really hard, like the songs I just listed.
>>66500853
Blood on the Tracks, every song is between an 8/10 to a 10/10
>>66500835
m8, I've probably listened to both Basho and Fahey far more than you. I'm just asking you to put your money where your mouth is about their quality. If you can't give me anything in the next post I have no reason to take you seriously.
>>66500886

>>66500853
Here's a rundown of the great Dylan albums:
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Times They Are
Another Side
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
Basement Tapes (the full version was recently released, it's probably the best version)
John Wesley Harding
Blood on the Tracks
Desire
Time Out of Mind
Love and Theft
Literally all of the Bootleg Series is wroth checking out.
>>66500991
oh sorry, you must have heard
> S I M P S O N W A V E
He played live in my town the other day, almost went but I read reviews of his recent shows and they seem really bizarre. He refused to play any of his popular songs or classics, just new stuff and covers and he pretty much just does whatever he wants. Which is cool for him but not worth paying $80 for, not really a fan of his new albums.
>>66500712

Song and Dance Man III: The Art of Bob Dylan is the most informative, but it's not just about Dylan, it pays tribute to a hefty amount of his influences. Be warned, it's basically a college-sized textbook.
The Old Weird America is kind of a condensed version of what I just described focusing on The Basement Tapes. It's kind of out there, the writer has a little bit of an overactive imagination but I enjoyed it.
Clinton Heylin's books are good. Their names are escaping me at the bottom, but one's a biography and probably the most in-depth biography and the other two are a chronicle of the songwriting process for all the songs he'd written up until 2009.
>>66501294
Is good but it ends almost halfway through Dylan's life for obvious reasons. It's the most comfy of the books there is.
So...it appears that we are all agreeable that Fahey and the APs are far superior to Woody Guthrie and the Bob Dylans.
