Nashville Skyline is a favorite LP, but I do not think it is objectively all that good, I just like the country sound of that recording personally. I also really like his fairly recent music. "I Contain Multitudes" from a couple years ago is a beautiful poem and a favorite now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU-e...joWaUg0GKoL-UV). Tangled Up In Blue and Boots of Spanish Leather are probably my two most played tracks from him.

I get why people don't like him, he is really bad at actually singing from an objective standpoint, but I love literature and poetry and so he really does it for me. He has a wonderful way of piecing together images and metaphors into an oft vague but meaningful whole.

front 6 song set for the Concert for Bangladesh is also IMO among his best work, live with George Harrison and Leon Russell up frpmt with him. His voice sounds a little different, I don't think I have heard him sing quite that way on any other album.

One of my favorite live albums.

I don't have the patience for Ravi Shankar, which probably means I need to meditate more. But much great music on the album. Love Leon Russell's version of the Lieber and Stoller/Coasters classic Young Blood. Bob Dylan Live 1966 (with the group that later became The Band but no Levon) is outstanding too. The definitive version IMO of Desolation Row.

It really helps it’s peak George Harrison. The All Things Must Pass LP is my favorite Beatles album. Probably an unpopular opinion there.

Yes I’ve seen the concert described as notice to the world that there were three great Beatles, not just two.

By the way, the 2003 concert for George is a nice book end to Bangladesh. Clapton, Billy Preston, and I believe Ringo are in both concerts three decades apart.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard it, actually. I will que it up for this evening. If it’s even half as good as Bangladesh I will be thrilled
