Dylan, Richards, and Waits


I just returned from a Columbia Record Co. party in New York where they previewed the upcoming release by the trio of Bob Dylan, Keith Richards and Tom Waits singing a cappella love songs. Who could ever imagine the three worst voices in music harmonizing to such exquisite perfection. Some of the tracks are classics: Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Strangers In The Night, You'll Never Walk Alone, The Sound of Music, and my favorite, In The Still Of The Night. There are a few original tracks composed by the trio: Keith Richards-She Only Loves Me After I Bathe, Bob Dylan-Who Am I, and Tom Waits-Ipecac and Roses. The cd will be titled: I Almost Styled My Hair Today.

I have to say as a Dylan nut that BS Vol6. Live 1964 is a slight disappointment for me.

Perhaps it's the universal 5 star reviews that had my expectation raised too high.

Don't get me wrong it's a very good concert but it lacks that vital X factor for me.
It is unique for two reasons in that Dylan banters away with the audience and the versions are pretty straight and very close to the recorded versions.

In pales beside the '66 gig but that was a completely different Bob but I have to say the acoustic material from '66 seems simply more interesting.
