That's whats so frustrating as a fan, isn't it? His vocal performances are so amazing. If Bob just never sang his songs, but wrote the sheet music and the melody, they wouldn't sound remotely as good when people covered them too. His vocal style is so beautiful. Have there been bad years? Yes. Absolutely. But there's always some new amazing stuff to hear from him. Over and over. I mean when you heard Sign On The Window and think that's not a soulful singer, then I got no clue what people are seeing.

@@hughmanatee7657 Erm, yeah. I've heard of Sinatra. Songs For Young Lovers and Watertown are two of my favourite albums. I also like the version of Restless Farewell that Dylan performed at Sinatra's 80th Birthday celebration, at the request of Sinatra himself. For what it's worth, I'm not equating Dylan with Sinatra. Two entirely different voices.

Bob Dylan's dalliance with songs from the Great American Songbook didn't find universal favour with his fans, but I love what he did with them. The recordings Dylan released over three studio albums ('Shadows In The Night' 'Fallen Angels', 'Triplicate'), show what a great vocalist Dylan is. By finding his own way to perform songs he clearly loves Dylan delivers, in place of mere copies or pale imitations, something original and interesting. Whilst the recordings came new to us, the songs themselves did - do - not to him. They are part of his life journey and have always been with him. Now and again down the years, especially from the concert stage, Dylan has shown us this, but you had to be paying attention!

That's probably true, I know he recorded some of them (He didn't write the songs either) It is A good CD, something different for Bob Dylan. My mom's second husband was a big Sinatra fan. Every time he started drinking he'd blast Sinatra from the stereo. Thar was when he seemed the happiest.
