And yet...I still listened to the whole performance. |
Agree with you great song-writer,lousy singer.The story goes Manfred Mann,a great interpreter of his material, was listening to some demoes of Dylans songs,and asked Albert Grossman,Dylans manager why did he use such a terrible singer to record his demoes,to be told,it was actually his Bobness he was listening to.Oops.
