Music reviews of New Morning

Music Review: The Locusts Sang Off In The Distance...And They Were Sangin' For Me
Rating: 5 Stars

I remember the great anticipation I felt as I returned home from the record store with Bob Dylan's latest release in hand. It was mid-summer 1970 and the album was the double disc release of "Self Portrait". Oh No!!! What was with "All The Tired Horses" crap? It sounded like some cheap Hollywood western. What's more was this actually Bob Dylan singing "Like A Rolling Stone" and "She Belongs To Me"? God he sounds like Jim Nabors! Needless to say, I was under-whelmed to say the least. And so a few short months later, I was confornted with the prospect of laying out another six or seven bucks for Zimmie's latest, "New Morning". Yes I was skeptical. But something about the way he looked out at me on the album cover reassurred me that this was indeed a new morning and a much better one for sure.

Yes!!!! I wasn't disappointed. Rejoice Bob was back and with a vengence. From the opening track, "If Not For You" it became abundently clear that this was going to be one of his best. How about the jaunty little "Went To See The Gypsy"? Maybe Bob had paid a visit to some gypsy to exorcise the "John Ford" deamons that posessed him to record "All The Tired Horse-Crap". And who couldn't smile or even laugh out loud at the jazzy scant singing of "If Dogs Run Free"? How about the lilting waltz of "Winterlude"?..."Winterlude this dude thinks your fine". If that's not vintage Bobby Dylan, then what is? And "One More Weekend" positively rocks like nothing since "Rainy Day Woman". Is that Zimmie on electric guitar? It sure sounds like it is. Then there's "Sign On The Window"..."Have a few kids that'll call me Pa"...."That must be what it's all about". Then we get some, "Storm clouds raging all around my door"..."I think to myself I might not make it any more". "Yes, It takes a woman like you to get through to the "Man In Me",". And of course the title track says it all.."Can't you hear that motor turning"..."On this New Morning with you". Not only is it a New Morning, but one absolutely bright shinning beautiful day and one of Zimmie's finest!

So I'll forgive you Bob Dylan for the dreadful "Self Portrait". "New Morning" was and will always remain a high point in the unfathomable discography of the poet laureate of the baby-boomer generation....Just listen as "The locusts sang off in the distance...And they were sangin' for me". Thanks Bob!

Description of New Morning

Out of print in the U.S.! 1970 return to form for Mr. Zimmerman after the disasterous Self Portrait. Features Bob backed by a stellar band including David Bromberg, Al Kooper and others. 12 tracks. Sony.
By 1970, after his infamous motorcycle accident and a mess of an album called Self-Portrait, Dylan had lost his remarkable consistency, but not his talent. New Morning, a collection of songs that lacks the urgency of the singer's '60s material or the country cohesiveness of Nashville Skyline, is nonetheless rewarding in a laid-back way. Dylan, still affecting his low Johnny Cash imitation, sings strongly on the piano-heavy "Winterlude." "If Not For You and "Time Passes Slowly," which never became signature songs by any means, are two of his most underrated performances. Cocktail jazz piano and Martha Stewart's background scat-singing on "If Dogs Run Free" add to the album's experimental spirit. --Steve Knopper
