In fact, Bob sounds way more engaged on all the Wilbury songs. Unfocused is the perfect description for UTRS.

Some good moments, but generally unfocused and under-prepared. 'Wiggle Wiggle', 'Cats in the Well', 'God Knows', 'Born in Time' and the title track were all tackled more successfully in concert.<br />No mention of 'If You Belonged to Me' in your review of 'Volume 3'? A marvellous vocal by Bob.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251352834273360488.post-66450374043329672322016-08-08T23:50:59.395-07:002016-08-08T23:50:59.395-07:00Right!

This one just doesn't connect with me as much, but I like what Dylan did with these songs in his live performances.Eric Gillilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778517683750389280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251352834273360488.post-78990431335982146902016-08-08T10:42:04.943-07:002016-08-08T10:42:04.943-07:00A most underrated album.

It is one of my favourite Dylan albums precisely because it is so loose,off the wall and so deliberately the opposite of both the magnificent Oh,Mercy and Jeff Lyne WilburysHarrisonOrbisonELOetc soundalikes. In this context, Wiggle Wiggle is a great opener which declares both the new audacious sound and also the themes of the darkness of nursery rhymes and ecology ( far from a children's ditty..."wiggle till your higher,wiggle till you vomit fire" ) Does Garcia play on the album?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484493657523134094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251352834273360488.post-71569936277495872602016-08-08T06:23:51.869-07:002016-08-08T06:23:51.869-07:00I thought Born in Time was pretty good.I thought Born in Time was pretty good.Fred Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042726003972163227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251352834273360488.post-54103212779987757012016-08-08T06:22:35.188-07:002016-08-08T06:22:35.188-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Fred Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042726003972163227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251352834273360488.post-57859264086461058632016-08-08T01:53:01.442-07:002016-08-08T01:53:01.442-07:00You should listen more closely because Under The R...You should listen more closely because Under The Red Sky is a far more serious and darker album than Oh Mercy.
