About the Bob Dylan song Desolation Row.
How they make the vocals stand up so tall with those 2 guitars pretty loud (they are aren't they?)
Do they turn them down when he sings and then up when he doesn't? Is that a common thing to do btw?
As far as I'm concerned in this song his vocals were overdubed. That's something not so common for Dylan. When he's overdubing he finishes the phrases way before the next chord is played if you pay attention... He does that on live playing and recording as well but not so much, it gives such a amazing quality and differenciation to the song imo.
And I believe he didn't record any of the guitars. It really isn't his way of playing, neither he has skills to record such a clear solo guitar through the eleven minutes.
What else can you share about that tune that's relevant. I find it the perfect acoustic story telling song, couldn't get better.
