I don't really like any of Bob's songs about hoboes.

Track 8 - I Am a Lonesome Hobo.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 19:55

Harmonica.

Is it Black Crow Blues he does that? I love it, it sounds like me doing keyboard practice.

I've heard this somewhere before.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 19:56

It's quite Indian sounding.

I think this is my favourite track, so far.

I pity the Poor Immigrant.

It sounds like I'd expect a 1960s Bob Dylan album track to sound like.

Track 9 - I Pity the Poor Immigrant.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 19:59

This is his most spectacularly nasal vocal on the album, so far.

I did think it was a cover of some old blues song or something.

And I was wrong.

Talk about over written analysis... oh no

by Guest Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 20:00

Oh, is this about Jesus?

Who fills his what with what?

by Guest Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 20:01

He's going into that self parody vocal thing isn't he?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 20:01

I don't know if I like this one or not. I like the tune but there's quite a dreary feel to the performance.

And the lyrics are a bit negative.

by Fangirl Three Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 20:01

I'd forgotten how badly this album trails off at the end.

Bob 'Bobby' Dylan - John Wesley Harding (1967)
