Modern Times
Don’t know if you call yourself a Bob Dylan fan. I wouldn’t call myself one. But I do like good music. And I have to say this is a really good album. I was driving one day last week and Thunder on the Mountain from Dylan’s Modern Times came on. It happened that I had just got my car out of the Nissan service department. My presets were all messed up. I was on a station that I wouldn’t have normally been on. Bingo. The Amazon review calls it a "rootsy, blues-soaked pool of the purest form of Americana." I’ll just call it a great addition to the iPod. Like nothing else I’ve got. Pairs with a Sierra Nevada and a cool October Southern California evening.
P.S. Ain’t Talkin’ is quite a song.
I delight in what happens when I get bumped out of my comfort zone – as you must have been with your radio presets out of whack. Almost inevitably, something serendipitous and wonderful happens. If only I could learn to mess-up the presets of my brain/life on cue – what ideas I might come up with!
Now I’m off to buy a copy of Dylan’s CD!
