Bob Dylan’s voice – the debate
Written by admin on July 9, 2010 – 6:19 am -| Reading highly contradictory reviews of Bob Dylan’s performance at last weekend’s Hop Farm Festival left me wondering if there is anything more polarizing in popular music than Dylan’s voice.
It’s fair to say – and I think even the most faithful Dylan fan would agree – Dylan’s voice has much less range now than in his early years as a performer. The mysterious thing is that, while some listeners clearly believe that he still adds gravitas to the material and sings with authority, others hear nothing more than a tuneless noise. |
