Topic: Blood on the Tracks


  
  Blood on the Tracks (1975)
The center of gravity in the open-tuning Blood on the Tracks songs, is the root chord E=054000 (or 054300).
In "Buckets of Rain", where the 5th string is not used, it is impossible to decide whether the chord 0x0100 should be regarded as an A or as an Esus4.
Part of the explanation is that 11th chords are central in the gospel tradition, which Dylan dived into shortly afterwards, but it is not either impossible that he discovered its sweetness through the use of this B chord.

Blood on the Tracks is said by many to be Dylan's best album.

As far as what Dylan meant by ‘blood on the tracks,’ I can only guess that since the album came out in 1974, and Viet Nam was just reaching its conclusion, perhaps he was referring to what would be the aftermath of the war.
And perhaps the blood on the tracks was the aftermath of a heated debate he had been having within himself and the album was a turning away from all that.
Could it be the tracks on the record, or is the tracks of history or of life, or.

 Blood on the Tracks — S/T   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Without a cover on this band, Blood on the Tracks cultivate a sound that is purely their own, simultaneously recalling a host of other bands but never sounding derived.
Tracks speed by as the longest here is only about three and a half minutes; even with this short timeframe, Blood on the Tracks come out with an atmosphere and a story all their own.

 Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks - PopMatters Music Review
Blood on the Tracks is the one album that rises above all other contenders, obscuring them in its titanic blaze, because it is, at once, so familiar as well as mysterious, and so seemingly simple and yet unruly.
As such, in its most assertive moments -- for Blood on the Tracks is mostly a subdued affair of discreetly wavering impressions -- the albums is either a concoction from a sorcerer's brew of ill content or the ugly remains from an unruly carnival.
This is why Blood on the Tracks, like any great surviving recordings from the pre-modern era (the Carter Family, Dock Boggs, Clarence Ashley, to name of few), feels both familiar and foreign, personal and detached, for everyone and for no one at the same time.

The track authorities have become so skilled at detecting the secrets of an athlete's cheating in their urine that - the BBC reported yesterday - runners have moved on from the yellow stuff to the red stuff.

Dylan may have written better songs but many of his albums are patchy enough in terms of songwriting or performing and Blood on the Tracks is top quality throughout, his best since Highway 61, ten years before.
Of the other tracks Meet Me in the Morning is simple blues format, Buckets of Rain unassuming and Lily, Rosemary etc is a catchy uptempo story-song that goes on a bit long.
Tracks 'Like Tangled up in Blue', 'Idiot Wind' and 'You're a Big Girl Now' are simply masterpieces of how to write a great tune with great lyrics and drive it straight into the listener's heart.
