...violence is unequalled by any other drummer. His elementary patterns are cretinous because the Stones like it that way, not, as detractors would have it, because he can't play any other way, (A high-point of the New York concert was he and Jagger in a between-songs duet; Jagger would yell, "Alright !" and Charlie would respond with masterful drum riffs.) Laid over the percussion are Wyman's restrained bass lines, and this combination provides the thrust and visceral power of the Stones' music. With the drum/bass as floor, the two guitars fight for control, continually re-emphasizing...

Splitting the air with a high, resounding falsetto, he yodeled up and down the scale like a goatherd...
...album suggests that Dylan seems to be trying to work his way back to his own beginnings. This is pointed up by his inclusion of Girl from the North Country, which is sung as a duet with Johnny Cash. It is a song from one of his first albums, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, and it marks the first time that he has ever re-recorded one of his own numbers...
