22. Sarabande

Wooden Shjips - Shjips In The Night: Live In San Francisco, June 8, 2018

I probably spent more researching “Sarabande rhythm” than I should have. I even had my SO, whose a classically trained clarinetist and has a BA in Music, to try to explain it to me. I now know that it is a baroque classical style and is common is Latin dance, also the style features 3 beats per bar… and none of this actually helped in choosing an album. I decided to play this albums because it was a live release that was only made available in physical format and never released digitally which should make it harder for people to tell me that I am wrong at that it doesn’t contain any Sarabande rhythm (it still might, I just have no idea).

An outstanding cover of an amazing song.

This is how I first knew the song... I was late to Dylan. This came out my freshman year of College. Saw the Dead three times that year and Jerry Band once. Two years later, Dylan made a stop on the never ending tour in a high school at Spartanburg TN. I figured I should see the living legend even though I'd never really listened to him outside of the Travelling Wilbury's stuff. I picked up Freewheelin' to prepare for the concert. About the time Tangled Up in Blue got to the chorus (I had no idea it was Tangled until then because the band kind of sounded like Pearl Jam), I was completely in love with Dylan and have never really looked back.

Not quite the same thing but similar; I didn't initially know that The Hootie & The Blowfish's monster 90s hit "I Only Wanna Be With You" took a few lines:

"I shot a man named Gray, took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky"

from Bobby D's "Idiot Wind", until listening to Blood On The Tracks like a decade later. The funny part was the fact that Hootie was quoting Dylan is wasn't really a big secret, if only I had the context to fully comprehend Rucker's preceding...

"Put on a little Dylan sitting on a fence
I say that line is great, you ask me what it meant by"

and following lyrics...

"Ain't Bobby so cool?
I only wanna be with you"
