Forever Young: Joan Baez
This is one of those songs which has many versions I really like. Peter, Paul and Mary sing it on their Reunion album, and it is almost haunting. I love the Dylan and Rod Stewart isn’t too bad either. I went with Joan simply because I haven’t played her often enough.

Kat,
I rather doubt that Joan will miss the royalties, but I do enjoy her music, too.

Carl,
I’ve never had trouble posting a Joan song.

Huh. This is Bob’s song about a little Bob and there are a couple of versions kicking around from Planet Waves and Biograph.

My Dear hedley,
My version is from Planet Waves. I listened before I decided on the Baez. I do like the Dylan.

Wow, the Daily Telegraph gave “Shadows in the Night” a 5/5 star review.
Dylan sings Sinatra? It shouldn’t work but Shadows In The Night is quite gorgeous, the sound of an old man picking over memories, lost loves, regrets, triumphs and fading hopes amid an ambient tumble of haunting electric instrumentation. It is spooky, bittersweet, mesmerisingly moving and showcases the best singing from Dylan in 25 years.
Are you listening im6 ?

MDH,
I just read that review, and it is amazing. I still have trouble with Dylan singing Sinatra. I’ll have to listen for all the Daily Telegraph described.

Kat, I read it and was shocked as I was expecting something between awful and Lennie.
As you know, I am a bit of a Bob completist but was sitting on the fence, I am now willing to take the $9.99 jump at Amazon.

MDH,
I also will take the jump and purchase it when the album is released in February.
