I like to listen to 'Tangled up in Blue' maybe drink half a cup of iced bovril then shuffle it all about and go backwards to track 4 - 'You Ain't Going Nowhere' maybe stand outside a bit or go into another county and watch an old windmill spinning, let it all digest, then get a taster of his religious material with 'you Gotta Serve Somebody', put something savoury under the grill with tomatoes on the top while I wonder why 'Man Gave Names To All The Animals' isn't included - because there wasn't enough room, a voice echoes back to me out of the thermos flask, have a change and flip disc 1 on & listen to all those early singles from the 1960's Top of The Pops - 'come gather round people wherever you roam...how many times must a white dove fly...to be on your own like a rolling stone...' I like to glue up a jiffy bag, fill it with sand and email it to Bowie, I like to take the tracks 2 or 3 at a time, I like to listen to his debut album from which a track isn't hereabouts included. This really is essential stuff. You just know you'll have to investigate the tracks in context one day.

That sort of confused me, but then, so does Dylan quite often. It never spoils my enjoyment though. Gwen x

Welcome to Ciao. An interesting and original approach, but not enough solid information about Dylan and the album to warrant more than a Helpful rating. Duncan
