Young, on the other hand, I hear the sincerity in his voice on a track like A Man Needs a Maid. The emotional honesty in his voice combined with the facetiousness of the lyrics actually give the song depth and meaning that seem to be missing from just the lyrics alone.
Its funny you mention that, Dylan once said that Garcia could find things in Dylans music that he himself could not.
