💿 5 songs I'm listening to (tagged by @elenorgthrie. feeling real high school nostalgia vibes; I can't remember the last time I got tagged in something)

Speed the Plow by Nic Gareiss and Simon Chrisman - Saw them in concert last week and this was a closer. So! Fucking! Good! This needs to be an album!!!

Lanterna de Zena by Ensemble Sangineto - I don't speak a lick of Italian but this song and also the entire album slaps

Canadee-I-O by Rakish - Been really feeling Rakish lately for some reason.

First Parking Ticket/Newcastle by Casey Murray and Molly Tucker - Casey Murray writes the best damn tunes

Moonlighter's by Leland Martin - Truly cannot overstate how incredibly fucking good Leland Martin is. This entire album is wall-to-wall bangers.

Good As I Been To You Bob Dylan (MoFi/ Columbia) (originally released in 1992, this reissue came out January 2024)

This is the very first time this album has been made available in the US. Back in the 1990s most US record companies decided to completely abandoned vinyl. Some things came out, but when Bob Dylan couldn't even get albums pressed on vinyl (this and his 1993 World Gone Wrong) in the US, it wasn't a commodity they wanted to deal with. You could get these albums on vinyl, you just had to know where to look.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (aka MoFi) have been pressed quality vinyl forever and they have been doing Dylan's catalog for several years now. I gave up on them buying all of them. They have the Original Master Recording series as well as Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab series and I couldn't tell you what the difference is between the two. I opted to only get the pressings in the former series, although I didn't even pay attention to which series this release fell into, I just wanted a US pressing of the album. It is limited to 5000 copies and it is numbered. You can spot the number on the back of the album in the lower left hand corner. Mine is #269.

Gone (thankfully) at the cardboard inserts that annoyed me that were stuck inside of every pressing. I ended up throwing them all away. These cardboard inserts were ads for albums pressed by MoFi. They were thick, clunky and I could never get them back inside the album jacket and ultimately pitched everyone of them. So, this album comes in an anti-static sleeve and that's the extent of the packaging. Below you can see the labels for this album.

I've included photos of the original 1992 European pressing which I bought back in the day. There was a point in time when I was a completist of Dylan and would buy every single thing baring his name. That doesn't happen so much any longer, not in the manner it once did! Below you can see the front and the back of the original pressing of that 1992 album.

Below are the labels for both sides of the album.

Since I'm showing the original LP from Europe, I might as well go ahead and show you photos of the original 1992 CD pressing. Below you will find the front of the album, the gatefold of the jewel case opened up and then the back of the album.

Below you can find the photo of what the booklet opened up looks like inside.

The CD for the album in close detail can be seen below.

There were two promotional items for this album that came out back in the day. The first is a single CD containing the song Step It Up And Go. This came in a white wallet card with a plastic slip cover that had a hype sticker on it telling you what was contained inside. Below is the front of that plastic with the hype.

Here is that plastic slip cover adorning the white wallet card.

Here is the front of the white wallet card sans the plastic slip cover.

Here is the back of the wallet card. It contains one of the worst photos of Dylan I've seen in a while. He looks as if he might have worked on the railroad with my father.

Below is the CD.

The second promo item for Good As I Been To You was a four track sampler named Acoustic. It came in a wallet card as well, except this one is brown and textured. You can see the front and the back of the wallet card below.

Here is the CD. The song titles can be difficult to read. The four songs included on Acoustic are Sittin' On Top Of The World, Tomorrow Night, Canadee-I-O and Hard Times.

I just realized I forgot to post the hype sticker on the front of the album plastic that MoFi uses for their albums. You can see it below.

Good As I Been To You

Released: 3 November 1992

Rating: 7/10

Following a difficult decade, Bob continued to tour and increasingly introduced standard folk covers to his nightly set list. He eventually recorded them and released two albums of these traditional tunes within a year, which helped to restore some of his musical and critical reputation after his embarrassing nursery rhyme disaster. This first album is fairly good despite the ghastly cover artwork. It harks back to his debut record, and every track is simply just Bob with his harmonica and guitar. As the whole album is made up of covers, I’ll just sum up Bob’s performance rather then delving into the history of these ballads.

1. Frankie & Albert - The first thing that stands out is Bob’s guitar playing, which is skilled and sounds great. It creates a brilliant folky atmosphere, and coupled with his weathered voice, it takes you back in time to decades before. It certainly doesn’t sound like this record is from the 1990s.

2. Jim Jones - I love Bob’s story telling here. It can be a little whiny and won’t be for everyone, but it’s the most impassioned he’s sounded for a while.

3. Blackjack Davey - This is probably the best song on the album, I love everything about it. The guitar sounds quite moody and is perfect for the subject of the song, as is Bob’s effortless delivery.

4. Canadee-i-o - Bob’s singing is fantastic here, it’s less nasal than on other songs and he gives an incredible performance.

5. Sittin’ On Top Of The World - That harmonica sound is just unbeatable. The rest of the song is your standard folk tune, which is not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but the mouth organ elevates it.

6. Little Maggie - Another great example of Bob’s skills on the fret board and love of tradition.

7. Hard Times - Whilst I love the more relaxed playing here, I must admit that Bob’s not in his best voice.

8. Step It Up And Go - A faster number, I’m not particularly a fan of this one, due to an unoriginal tune and fairly boring/novelty lyrics.

9. Tomorrow Night - This slow song is beautiful, Bob sounds woeful and desperate for his lover. The simple guitar elevates his voice and the lyrics, whilst the song also benefits again from some haunting harmonica.

10. Arthur McBride - A folk standard covered with no thrills and dedication, it sounds great.

11. You’re Gonna Quit Me - Another track where Bob sounds fantastic and several years younger than he was. I also love the tune and the lyrics on this one.

12. Diamond Joe - Much like the rest of the record, this is an enjoyable interpretation of a traditional ballad, the guitar and voice fit perfectly.

13. Froggie Went A Courtin’ - The album closes with the only song is actively dislike. My disdain isn’t due to the vocals or music, which are fine and performed well, but the lyrics are childish and actually irritate me. It’s a low note to end on and feels very out of place with the tracks above.

Verdict: This is a very decent folk album, not mind blowing or life changing, but it is a good example that Bob was still connected to his roots, and could still play and sing with the best of the troubadours. The simple and relaxed sound is very welcome after the overly complex releases that proceeded it, and it is a nice album to relax to as you are swept in the music of a time now forgotten. Less than a year later, Bob put out the second part of his folk revival duology, which would be darker, grittier and slightly more enjoyable.

Un nouvel article a été publié sur https://www.rollingstone.fr/inedits-springsteen-morello/

Des morceaux inédits de Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello et d'autres à paraître sur une nouvelle compilation

Des titres de Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Jackson Browne & Bonnie Raitt figureront sur cette collection à l’occasion du 21e anniversaire du célèbre label de musique folk Appleseed

Des reprises inédites de Bruce Springsteen, de Tom Morello et bien d’autres font partie des festivités d’une nouvelle compilation – « Appleseed’s 21st Anniversary: Roots and Branches » – marquant l’anniversaire de la fondation du fameux label de musique, prévue dans les bacs le 19 octobre prochain. Appleseed Recordings a été formé il y a 21 ans par Jim Musselman et a enchaîné les publications de maîtres de la folk, tels que Pete Seeger, John Wesley Harding et Buffy Sainte-Marie.

En plus de la version de « We Shall Overcome » signée Springsteen, la compil’ présente en exclusivité « If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song) » de Pete Seeger. Le guitariste de Rage Against the Machine Tom Morello se charge de « Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Dirt Cheap » d’AC/DC, tandis que Donovan reprend « Wild Mountain Thyme » de Joan Baez. John Wesley Harding, John Stewart, Jesse Winchester, Anne Hills et Tom Russell contribuent également à cet album composé de près de 57 chansons, inclus des enregistrements d’archives de Baez, Jackson Browne & Bonnie Raitt et Roger McGuinn avec Judy Collins.

« Cette compilation pour le 21e anniversaire d’Appleseed a été menée autour de thèmes distincts, » a déclaré Jim Musselman. « Ils correspondent aux trois objectifs que j’ai eu en formant Appleseed Recordings – fournir un exutoire pour les chansons parlant de justice sociale, qu’elles soient actuelles ou passées ; publier de nouvelles chansons écrites autour de l’expérience personnelle du l’humain des temps modernes ; et maintenir en vie des siècles de chansons traditionnelles, encore saillantes, à propos de notre pays et de notre monde. Pour apprendre à aller de l’avant, et de ne jamais oublier les leçons, ou les chansons, du passé. »

Appleseed a également partagé trois enregistrements en exclusivité de la compilation à venir.

Canadee-I-O Lyrics – 10000 Maniacs

Canadee-I-O Lyrics – 10000 Maniacs

It’s of a fair and handsome girl, she’s all in her tender years She fell in love with a sailor boy and it’s true that she loved him well For to go off to sea with him, like she did not know how, She longed to see that seaport town, called Canadee-I-O. So she bargained with a young sailor boy, it’s all for a piece of gold Straighway he led her all down into the hold Saying I’ll dress you up in…

[loanndbehold]

This version always makes me cry a little but I still listen to it all the time.

[thefolkblog]

Everyone go and listen to Nic Jones! :) he is genuinly one of the (if not THE) most amazing guitarists and singers theres ever been! :) this song's particularly brilliant, hope you enjoy! :D

[alwaysalreadyangry]

i'll dress you up in sailor's clothes, your jacket shall be blue you'll see that seaport town, called canadee-i-o

[hwy542]

Perfect song for autumn.

Canadee-I-O, Nic Jones
