I love the ay that Dylan's voice has evolved over the decades. The funereal rasp of his recent albums is perfectly fitted to the dark tone of his songs - though it makes his in-concert performances pretty hard to listen to. I resolved not to go see him again after his last london show. I've seen him maybe eight times, but now you have to guess what songs he is singing.
Nashville Skyline has him at his armest and most sonorous.
