Many moons ago, read that Hendrix decided to sing with his band because of Dylan - not that they talked about it: just Dylan existing and doing his thing inspired him. Why stop yourself cuz of some rules about "how it's supposed to sound"? Perhaps he'd already determined that from his guitar chops, just applied the same open-minded exploring to his vocals. Not giving a fig

Wilburys was a damn hard band to pick a favorite. Gun to my head woulda been Petty but please don't rat me out to the rest of 'em 😉

Over my life I'd sync up w/Dylan's music at some points but less of the uncritical fan I'd been my 1st 15 years or so of being enamored. In my dotage I don't go to many concerts, didn't to either of those. We're way down south of Tucson. Occasionally get up to the MIM, such a great venue, recently heard T-Bone Burnett there - stellar! Love live music in small clubs and bars, people playing on street or in a park.

Paz, amigo!
