Theres never been any other song like this where a whole movie was played out in a song, not even close. Only Dylan has done that, you watched a 2 hr movie listening to a song less than 9 min. Ridiculous talent. And to top it off, the song musically is foot stomping fun and great. Dude really is a genius.

I personally change the nearly the whole first half with the outtakes from More Blood, More Tracks for a more slow/ somber tone. However, I keep this song as it is. I feel that the juxtaposition in tempo and "fun-ness" gives a bit of variety. I also replace "Meet Me in the Morning" with "Up To Me". Nonetheless, this album is arguably the greatest album from a lyrical standpoint (not musically) of all time. This and Abbey Road (arguably the greatest album from a musical standpoint) are my top 2 favorites, Blood on the Tracks always leaning to the top spot.

Absolutely perfect. Sang from his diaphragm instead of through his nose. Not as much projection, a TINY bit lower, and absolutely crystal clear. They didn't usually do this on the Loss Leaders but he had a second track, equally as clear, but for the life of me I can't remember. I've long regretted leaving over 300 hunks of vinyl behind when I left Oahu in 1979. It also had a phenomenal cut of Bread doing Elton John's "Your Song".

...well, Ms Cathy, for me, it's been 55 years, & 2 chapbooks, with maybe (only) 100-200 pieces i would show anyone; i first saw Bob in 64-65, in the Village (and over 50 times since, most recently, about 2 years ago, on Maui... ( now, i can say with No apologies & no pretensions, 'i write because of hearing him',... At first Trying to write 'Like him'....Wrong !.... but still, tryin is what led me to the conclusion that No One could (& so i set about finding my own way...and i was blest with some gigantic 'real writers' & their merciless feedback.)..i have seen Ginsberg, Yevteshenko, Maya Angelou, Spender, Vozsnesenski, Ferlinghetti and others, not One of them was better than this man (who once rhymed, "i've seen all these decoys/through eyes of deep turquoise..." ! )...he is Truly (quite obviously) "One of a kind", a master, and like all Masters, one who doesn't care about ANY of that....& with the Nobel, finally, that is Unquestionably established, as you say, This is the One Literary Giant of the 20th century, who not only has produced a body of writing, unfathomable in its' quantity, quality, range, diversity & down-right Universal.... For the Ages.... ALL live in is shadow, & No one writes without being informed by him & his work....and yes there is a fair handfull who, inspired by him, produce (no where near as much, as many, (Truly) GREAT pieces, from Lennon, Brian Wilson, Neil young, Kantner & Slick, Jackson Brown, Paul Simon, to Lightfoot, Cohen, Joni, & yes, Townes, Willie, Chrissie Hynde.... but They are/have been All PBD (Post-Bob Dylan), they exist, have prospered, done admirable work, but All because BD 'went ahead', off the edge of the map, finding, exploring, defining, & clearing the ground for every body else to build their work on.... (IMHO), 500 or even 1000 years from now, if humanity survives at all, they will be studying, delighting-in & and (Still) learning from the work of this 'simple song-&-dance man' for eons....he found a world, & in exploring it made it compellingly Realer, by living-in-it, leaving blaze marks on the trees as he passed, creating a level, a standard, still unmatched & most-of-all he showed Us to ourselves, for better or worse, taking the blame for it all .... he may well be why We haven't destroyed it (and Ourselves) yet....he "in a little hilltop village,/ they gambled for his clothes/ he bargained for salvation/ ". but they give'm a lethal dose...." ...and, nobody, anywhere was, or ever will-be "quite like the Jack of hearts"..... peace, my friends......

Bob Dylan's concert in Philadelphia in 74-75 was 1 of the best concerts I've ever saw. "The band" was just as good as Dylan and together they sounded amazing. Some people don't like Dylan's voice , I do. His writing skills are second were 2nd to nun . Guess that why they gave him the Nobel Prize for literature . He's an American icon .

Still remember my older brother coming home during Christmas from the Navy with this CD. I was only 7 years old so the rest of Blood on the Tracks didn't resonate with me yet. However, this song was like a novel set to music and I played this song on repeat until he had to ship off again with the CD Player and my still all-time favorite song. I received a cassette of the entire Blood on The Tracks from him a month or two later and played it until the tape wore out.

I started listening to Bob Dylan & Joan Baez in early 60's. Went to a concert in Raleigh, NC (1963) that Baez was headlining. Didn't know that Dylan was going to be there. He blew my mind with his creativity. Blowing in the Wind, Mr Tambourine Man, Like a Rolling Stone, etc. That's why he won the Nobel Prize.

The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall. The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down Anyone who had any sense had already left town. He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts. He moved across the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone, " he said Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads. Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin "Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?" Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts. Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs Lily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pair. Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wide A gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside. Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts. 🎵🎶🎵🎶 Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine He made his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine. With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste. But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts. Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown. She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear "Sorry, darlin', that I'm late, " but he didn't seem to hear. He was starin' into space over at the Jack of Hearts. "I know I've seen that face somewhere, " Big Jim was thinkin' to himself "Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf." But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him Starin' at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts. 🎵🎶🎵🎶 Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled. She had come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere. But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts. The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind. It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king. No, nothin' ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts. 🔪🔪🔪 Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife. She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died. She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts. Lily took her dress off and buried it away. "Has your luck run out?" she laughed at him, "Well, I guess you must Have known it would someday. Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint." Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts. The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair. "There's something funny going on, " he said, "I can just feel it in the air." He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk. There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts. ⚰️⚰️⚰️ No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick The door to the dressing room burst open and a Colt revolver clicked. And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprised Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes. She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts. Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said they got off with quite a haul. In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground For one more member who had business back in town. But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts. 🎵🎶🎵🎶 The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back. And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink. The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts. The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, "Closed for repair, " Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair. She was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law. But, most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts.
