    As a huge fan of the blues, I was shocked that 'Meet Me In The Morning' was almost eliminated in Round 1. :anguished:

    And losing again in the early rounds.  But then, it's very hard to vote out anything off this album. 

    My vote, same as last time, same reason- a fine song that just feels a bit to rushed to me.

    There’s no filler to be found on this album that’s for sure.

    I’m not super familiar with this album. Only that I dig it all the way through. Should really get it in the rotation more.

    Always thought Tangled, Shelter and Idiot Wind were obvious standouts.

    One of the comments below the video says "not a big fan of black crows, but this an excellent cover. good job covering bob's "weathered" vocal style. great slide."   Sounds spot on to me.

    Well said! 

    I love "Idiot Wind".  Some of Bob's best dark humor in the lyrics, and a really interesting chord progression- That barred Cm punches the song up and then moves right into  standard D major and G major open chords- brilliant!  A fun song to play.

    Another easy pick for me as i could  just put 5 songs in a hat and blindly pick one out, which i basically did.

    Well, we have a bit of a predicament with the poll results. Weird to have 4 at the same percentage.

    Looks like just two now.  Somebody please vote and save "idiot Wind" (sorry, N, I just love that song!  :smile: )

    If "Idiot Wind" goes out this early (or at all really), then whatever faith I had left in the human race is kaput.

    It doesn't matter. Even if it makes it through this round, y'all motherfuckers are still going to vote for it in the next round.

    Hopeless.

    I'm out on this one. I thought that maybe Dylan fans would participate, but by the looks of it, I guess not. Mostly just a bunch of Huey Lewis/Billy Joel/Eagles/Bon Jovi bubblegum fans up in this bitch, voting on a masterpiece that they'll never even bother to comprehend. 

    Y'all don't deserve Blood on the Tracks.
