BOB DYLANS,S BLONDE ON BLONDE (P3)

Bob Dylan, geboren als Robert Allen Zimmerman (Hebreeuws: Shabtai Zisel ben Avraham) (Duluth, Minnesota, 24 mei 1941) is een Joods-Amerikaans popmusicus. Hij wordt beschouwd als een van de grootste songwriters van Amerika. Veel mensen beschouwen hem als de eerste singer-songwriter. Hij heeft een oeuvre bij elkaar gespeeld dat op één lijn wordt gesteld met dat van Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie en Hank Williams, die deel uitmaken van het Amerikaanse culturele erfgoed.




Dylans carrière begon in het midden van de jaren vijftig, nog in zijn middelbare schooltijd. Zijn muzikale en literaire faam zijn sindsdien uitgegroeid tot een welhaast filmisch en opstandig, maar ook onwillig boegbeeld van de onrust in de Amerikaanse samenleving. De beweging voor de burgerrechten kende geen beter volkslied dan zijn song Blowin' in the Wind (1963). Miljoenen jongeren omarmden The Times They Are A-Changin'.





track 11 Absolutely sweet Mary

- Bob Dylan Lyrics

In een interview, gepubliseerd in Paul Zollo's book Songwriters on Songwriting, Expanded Fourth Edition (New York: Da Capo Press, 1997), geeft Dylan een idee hoe hij de song ziet en geeft uitleg over de zin "yellow railroad":

That's about as complete as you can be. Every single letter in that line. It's all true. On a literal and on an escapist level.... Getting back to the yellow railroad, that could be from looking someplace. Being a performer, you travel the world. You're not just looking out of the same window everyday. You're not just walking down the same old street. So you must make yourself observe whatever. But most of the time it hits you. You don't have to observe. It hits you. Like, "yellow railroad" could have been a blinding day when the sun was so bright on a railroad someplace and it stayed on my mind.... These aren't contrived images. These are images which are just in there and have got to come out.

Dylan heeft "Sweet Marie" tot aan 1988 zelden live gespeeld,tijdens zijn MTV unplugged optreden kwam het nummer weer bovendrijven en sinds die tijd staat het nummer weer regelmatig op de setlist.



trtack 12 4th Time Around

- Bob Dylan Lyrics

De melody en de verhaallijn is sterk beinvloed door "Norwegian Wood"van The Beatles.
Dylan en Lennon hadden een gezonde rivaliteit over het schrijven van liedjes,veel van tracks op het Album Rubber Soul zijn beinvloed door Bob Dylan.

track 13 Obviously 5 Believers




Memphis Minnie's "Me and My Chauffer Blues", Chuck Berry's "I Want to Be Your Driver" het bekende "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl". Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More." Verder komt de openingszin"Early in the morning" overeen met Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman." In het laatste deel komt de zin"feel so all alone" die je ook kan vinden in de Blonde On Blonde opener "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35".
"Obviously 5 Believers" werd niet gespeeld tijdens Dylan's 1966 tour, en zelfs tot aan 1995 zelden live opgevoerd,daarna duik het regelmatig in setlists op.

track 14 Sad eyed Lady of the Lowlands

- Bob Dylan Lyrics
Het lied gaat over Sara Lownds met wie Dylan toen getrouwd was.



Op het Album Desire staat het lied Sara waarin Bob zingt: " Staying up for nights in the Chelsea Hotel writing Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for you.

Dupree moved to Europe in 1960, settling first in Switzerland and then Denmark, England, Sweden and, finally, Germany.[6] On June 17, 1971 he played at the Montreux Jazz Festival, in the Casino Kursaal, with King Curtis, backed by Cornell Dupree on guitar, Jerry Jemmott on bass and Oliver Jackson on drums. The recording of the concert was later released as the 1973 album King Curtis & Champion Jack Dupree – Blues At Montreux on the Atlantic label

 During the 1970s and 1980s he lived at Ovenden in Halifax, England and a piano he used was later discovered at Calderdale College in Halifax.^[9] He continued to record in Europe with Kenn Lending Band, Louisiana Red and Axel Zwingenberger and made many live appearances.

CHAMPION JACK DUPREE

William Thomas Dupree,beter bekend als Champion Jack Dupree, was een Amerikaanse blues pianist. Zijn geboortedatum is niet bekend 4 ,10 of 23 Julie worden genoemd, in het jaar1908, 1909, of 1910. Hij overleed 21 Januarie 1992.


Champion Jack Dupree & King Curtis Montreux 1971

A formidable contender in the ring before he shifted his focus to pounding the piano instead, Champion Jack Dupree often injected his lyrics with a rowdy sense of down-home humor. But there was nothing lighthearted about his rock-solid way with a boogie; when he shouted "Shake Baby Shake," the entire room had no choice but to acquiesce.



Aint that a Shame Montreux 1980

Dupree was notoriously vague about his beginnings, claiming in some interviews that his parents died in a fire set by the Ku Klux Klan, at other times saying that the blaze was accidental. Whatever the circumstances of the tragic conflagration, Dupree grew up in New Orleans' Colored Waifs' Home for Boys (Louis Armstrong also spent his formative years there). Learning his trade from barrelhouse 88s ace Willie "Drive 'em Down" Hall, Dupree left the Crescent City in 1930 for Chicago and then Detroit. By 1935, he was boxing professionally in Indianapolis, battling in an estimated 107 bouts.

In 1940, Dupree made his recording debut for Chicago A&R man extraordinaire Lester Melrose and OKeh Records. Dupree's 1940-1941 output for the Columbia subsidiary exhibited a strong New Orleans tinge despite the Chicago surroundings; his driving "Junker's Blues" was later cleaned up as Fats Domino's 1949 debut, "The Fat Man." After a stretch in the Navy during World War II (he was a Japanese P.O.W. for two years), Dupree decided tickling the 88s beat pugilism any old day. He spent most of his time in New York and quickly became a prolific recording artist, cutting for Continental, Joe Davis, Alert, Apollo, and Red Robin (where he cut a blasting "Shim Sham Shimmy" in 1953), often in the company of Brownie McGhee. Contracts meant little; Dupree masqueraded as Brother Blues on Abbey, Lightnin' Jr. on Empire, and the truly imaginative Meat Head Johnson for Gotham and Apex.


Live Beatclub 1970
King Records corralled Dupree in 1953 and held onto him through 1955 (the year he enjoyed his only R&B chart hit, the relaxed "Walking the Blues.") Dupree's King output rates with his very best; the romping "Mail Order Woman," "Let the Doorbell Ring," and "Big Leg Emma's" contrasting with the rural "Me and My Mule" (Dupree's vocal on the latter emphasizing a harelip speech impediment for politically incorrect pseudo-comic effect).

After a year on RCA's Groove and Vik subsidiaries, Dupree made a masterpiece LP for Atlantic. 1958's Blues From the Gutter is a magnificent testament to Dupree's barrelhouse background, boasting marvelous readings of "Stack-O-Lee," "Junker's Blues," and "Frankie & Johnny" beside the risqué "Nasty Boogie." Dupree was one of the first bluesmen to leave his native country for a less racially polarized European existence in 1959. He lived in a variety of countries overseas, continuing to record prolifically for Storyville, British Decca (with John Mayall and Eric Clapton lending a hand at a 1966 date), and many other firms.

Champion Jack Dupree - The Woman I Love

Perhaps sensing his own mortality, Dupree returned to New Orleans in 1990 for his first visit in 36 years. While there, he played the Jazz & Heritage Festival and laid down a zesty album for Bullseye Blues, Back Home in New Orleans. Two more albums of new material were captured by the company the next year prior to the pianist's death in January of 1992. Jack Dupree was a champ to the very end.

"When you open up a piano, you see freedom. Nobody can play the white keys and don't play the black keys. You got to mix all these keys together to make harmony. And that's what the whole world needs: Harmony."
Champion Jack Dupree
