I never realized before that Tom Wilson is the hidden link between Dylan and Sun Ra.

sampler of 10 songs up on spotify
his recovery of his ability to sing (within his limits) is pretty fucking incredible, switch between Triplicate and Tempest and it's pretty amazing

Been reading awestruck reviews of Triplicate; this is the best so far (awestruck duh, but not too much for observational interest). He apparently doesn't like the first two as much as I do (esp.Shadows in The Night, though I don't hear either as tentative)---still, will have to give it a listen after all apparently (but geez, that's a lot of standards from BD): http://www.villagevoice.com/music/bob-dylans-book-of-love-thirty-standards-that-map-a-world-sweeter-than-we-will-ever-know-9895560

record sounds great but I haven't heard the entire thing yet, it is pretty long and seems to drag a bit... have put it on on a couple of late night occasions but then skipped after 20 minutes or smth
what's that Dylan quote about patience... I think he's prompted to talk abt postmodern attention span being very short and says something like it's been that way since the 7" single!

I guess I should never be surprised by Dylan, but becoming an great standards singer 15 years after I thought his voice was shot is pretty impressive
