Music reviews of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid
Music Review: A one-off musical adventure
Rating: 5 Stars
Bob Dylan's soundtrack for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid might be one of his most underrated works. Recorded in California in early 1973, this is a most unique experience in his career. First of all, most songs are instrumentals. And no, they don't need any lyrics. There's a soothing atmosphere to them and it feels as if Dylan allows us right into his place by the woods where a fire crackles beside running streams under the light of a magical moon and acoustic guitars, flutes, bongos, tambourine, fiddle, banjo, voices, harmonium, cellos, bass intertwine in harmony...
And then there is Dylan singing passionately - his voice different once again. He doesn't sound like he did on his previous album New Morning(1970) or Planet Waves which was recorded a few months after in November '73. Yet another side of the master! The original version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door is pure classic and belongs 100% among the other songs. Billy 1, 4 & 7 are great variations on the same theme with Dylan's voice sounding strong and melodically different in each one! Such joy.
With that in mind, this music should be taken as a whole.
There's nothing like this in Dylan's recorded output so the fact that Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid is a one-off musical adventure makes it all even more worthwhile! I'll be eagerly awaiting for a proper remastered version of this sadly forgotten yet most treasured and timeless piece of music.
Description of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid
Out of print in the U.S.! Bob Dylan's mostly instrumental soundtrack to the surreal Western from director Sam Peckinpah. Of the few vocal tracks on the album, the stunning now-classic (and often covered) 'Knocking On Heaven's Door' made it's debut on this release. 10 tracks. Sony.Classic Rock CDs
