The way he enunciates:
Never could learn to drink that bloodAnd call it wine,Never could learn to hold you, love,And call you mine.
is the essence of Dylan

I think "Emotionally Yours" is a good phrase, esp for him: alll the emotions babe...On their album Emotionally Yours, O'Jays did two versions:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx5L2mWFwOk&list=OLAK5uy_kLEZ4qMNT6HjZw9foHuDcalVocA6sTB94(R&B version)

xpost Weird. Oh well, it's on youtube, with the gospel version. Not as good as The Persuasions' "The Man In Me," but Persuasions' voices were younger than EY-era O'Jays', and "The Man" is a better song, of course. Not bad for a faceless ballad tho (more vigorous than "To Feel My Love," although I certainly haven't heard every cover of that).

From 1972----much later, they did a whole album of Dylan.

Bettye LaVette did "EY" on her incredible BD collection, Things Have Changed---here she is live, atypically ravaged, but driving through it, as always---"It's like...my whole life never happened...shake me, hold me..."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJujOOFQV-c

It's the RS interview promoting New York, collected in a late nineties book of Reed interviews and essays.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 21:30 (three years ago) link
Maybe. Reed talked about Dylan a lot in the 80s. It was something like "If a new artist had made (new Dylan album) it would be hailed as a masterpiece."

i think Dylan told Lou he loved "doin the things we want to" and suddenly Lou was a huge Dylan booster.

Best I recall, Reed did a good "Foot of Pride" on the Dylan trib 30th Anniversary Concert.

agree
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 23:39 (three years ago) link
Musically speaking, the 30th Anniversary Concert was a very uneven affair, but Reed's "Foot of Pride" was possibly the highlight of the whole thing. I think he was the only one to pick a song that was a 'bootleg' track. He's clearly reading off a teleprompter or something, so it could be better, but otherwise, he delivers it with a lot of authority. It has the makings of a great cover, it's just too bad he never tried it again in a recording studio.

The few worthy songs on "Saved" are best heard in the live versions found on "The Bootleg Series Vol. 13: Trouble No More (1979–1981)
"Covenant Woman" and "Solid Rock" are better on "Saved" IMO (and are both great).
― o. nate, Saturday, 27 June 2020 01:02 (three years ago) link
Hard rep for the Take 1 “Pressing On” on disc 3.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Saturday, 27 June 2020 02:51 (three years ago) link
I'm actually not a fan of "Covenant Woman," but I prefer "Solid Rock" when it was performed early on in late 1979 - the groove was funkier. By the time they tried it in the studio, they were already streamlining the rhythm and speeding up the tempo, but the result sounds more generic and less interesting to me.
― birdistheword, Saturday, 27 June 2020 03:04 (three years ago) link
i haven’t been able to get into that bootleg set, for whatever reason... I love some of the songs on Saved — particularly “Covenant Woman.”
― OG Honeymoon Ave (morrisp), Saturday, 27 June 2020 03:38 (three years ago) link
there is def not that much distance between the live and studio versions of “solid rock”
