His trajectory always amazes me. Any artist who could conjure those really affecting performances like "I Was Young When I Left Home" or his versions of "Barbara Allen" and "House Carpenter" or several dozen other songs from 1960/61/62 would have been content to simply perform in that guise for an entire career. And it would have been an important career. But that he went in a hundred different directions from those early years is simply astonishing to me. Such a brave artist.
