| | Bob Dylan Planet Waves CD Bob Dylan Discography of CDs
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The cover of PLANET WAVES bears the inscription "cast-iron songs and torch ballads," proving that Dylan was a skilled assessor of his own work. "There are those who worship loneliness/But I'm not one of them," he sings on "Dirge," a disclaimer for the ghostly, pensive atmosphere that pervades much of the album. Though Dylan is backed by members of the Band here, PLANET WAVES has little of the sprawling, tongue-in-cheek weirdness of Band collaborations like THE BASEMENT TAPES. Instead, the mood is serious, intimate, and introspective.
Dylan explores both sides of the romantic coin here. "You Angel You" and "On a Night Like This" (a tune that proved jubilant enough to be covered by Buckwheat Zydeco) are upbeat paeans to being in love. The aforementioned "Dirge" brings us into the belly of the beast, as Dylan faces up to his loneliness and pain with customary aplomb: "I paid the price of solitude/But at least I'm out of debt." Throughout, the Band supply verve and poignancy as required. Dusky gems like the solo acoustic ballad "Wedding Song," where the singer proudly opens his heart over a haunting minor-key melody, and the platitude-heavy "Forever Young" add to this fine, often-overlooked album from Dylan's early-'70s period.

DESIRE was the studio realization of the Rolling Thunder revue's sound.

Mark Mallman refuses to let anyone in on the joke. As one of the most compelling and unique songwriters and performers to emerge from Minneapolis in years, Mark Mallman's reputation is exploding out of his home base into the world at large. His Midwestern fan base has been building strongly for years, as he has opened for a wide range of acts from Guided by Voices to Ozomatli, Beth Orton to Everlast, and Cat Power to The Barenaked Ladies - weird. Mallman mesmerizes audiences, blending the hard hitting showmanship of bands like Scissor Sisters and the Darkness with the classic songwriting styles of early Warren Zevon and Joe Jackson. He continues his reputation for incendiary live performances in support of his new album Mr. Serious. More than just documenting a great songwriter and performer, this album synthesizes the manic energy and reflective song craft like a displaced text book of rock.From September 4th - 6th Mark Mallman performed "Marathon 2: The Longest Rock Song Ever Written", a mammoth 600+ page history of his own life - complete with a chorus and rhyming lyrics. The event doubled the record he set in 1999 of 26.2 hours. "Marathon 2" was performed with the assistance of nearly 70 backing musicians in what has become the an ongoing series of a conscious blurring of rock music and pop art, Mark released his suicide-tinged, The Tourist in 1999 and it wasn't long before he became known as the Twin Cities' premier keyboard wild man. And the fans gathered with jaws dropped at him kicking and smashing vintage keyboards, dislocating a shoulder and breaking fingers, all the while screaming "I am not a comedian, I am a serious rock songwriter!" In a track from his second release How I Lost My Life and Lived to Tell About It, Mallman recalls the marathon song in a simple, bitter lyric; "I can't sing anymore like I used to". By 2001 he'd become a crowd favorite selling out venues ever since.Not one to limit himself to any particular musical medium, Mallman pushed it all a step further with "HUMAN INSECT," a twelve-hour, Henry David Thoreau-inspired, sample-oriented live ...
