Well, Bob, the imagery is so vivid here that we feel like we should revisit a Dylan documentary to look for you in the crowded room. 😊
Your songs enable us to travel in time and place and we’re richly rewarded every time.
Loved it!

I've noticed you've been expanding your use of instrumentation lately--excellent. You always write darn good lyrics; this time you hit it out of the ballpark--such effective imagery and engaging narrative. The slow drag tempo works well with the mood of the lyrics.

Bob,
IMHO, this is the best I've heard from you!
Love the haunting sound of the track! IT suites your wonderful lyric work!
Your vocals are great as is the whole production! I am very impressed with this one!
Thanks, TB

Hi, Bob.
As usual, poetry set to music. You just keep getting better and better with a voice and instruments that suck me into the story.

You can tell a story about a gritty, grimy city like no one else, makes me want to take a shower  And that's the mark of a great singer/songwriter, you pull the listener in with just a whisper. Great job.

Hey Bob very spooky and moody and classic Bob.
You can always tell a Bob Dean song from the rest of the songs! You definitely have a signature sound!
As always I like the poetry and the word smithing on this one.
Great job.
