"Of Bob Dylan"

There are those who do not imitate,
Who cannot imitate
But then there are those who emulate
At times, to expand further the light
Of an original glow.
Knowing that to imitate the living
Is mockery
And to imitate the dead
Is robbery
There are those
Who are beings complete unto themselves
Whole, undaunted,-a source
As leaves of grass, as stars
As mountains, alike, alike, alike,
Yet unalike
Each is complete and contained
And as each unalike star shines
Each ray of light is forever gone
To leave way for a new ray
And a new ray, as from a fountain
Complete unto itself, full, flowing
So are some souls like stars
And their words, works and songs
Like strong, quick flashes of light
From a brilliant, erupting cone.
So where are your mountains
To match some men?
This man can rhyme the tick of time
The edge of pain, the what of sane
And comprehend the good in men, the bad in men
Can feel the hate of fight, the love of right
And the creep of blight at the speed of light
The pain of dawn, the gone of gone
The end of friend, the end of end
By math of trend
What grip to hold what he is told
How long to hold, how strong to hold
How much to hold of what is told.
And Know
The yield of rend; the break of bend
The scar of mend
I'm proud to say that I know it,
Here-in is a hell of a poet.
And lots of other things
And lots of other things.
-- Johnny Cash

I played Piano and Organ on this record in 1969, and it still blows me away and it blows me away how many people still are enjoying it. A couple of things: it was truly a dichotomy on the production side with some of the N-ville establishment trying to make Dylan sound like Eddie Arnold and the rest of us trying to do the opposite.
We did all the recordings in one or two takes with no rehearsals, except Lay Lady Lay, which we did cut a couple of times and then Kenny Buttrey and I overdubbed some percussion and piano, as I had played organ on the first track. This explains the freshness that people can't put their finger on, but love: its the un-rehearsed, live performance atmosphere. And, one reason, people had so much trouble "bagging" it, i.e., country or not real country, was that several of us were not country musicians, even though we lived in N-viille and sometimes worked as country musicians.
Buttrey and I, and Charlie, were originally rockers and Fred Carter was Ronnie Hawkins's guitarist. Also, Kenny Buttrey and I were playing on lots of the soul records of that time. So, we tried to kick it and rock it, i.e., "Tonight I'll Be Stayin Here With You" and "To Be Alone With You".
