Love Minus Zero/No Limit (1965) – Bob Dylan
Just like the last song I posted on Dylan – Long and Wasted Years, today’s featured track Love Minus Zero/No Limit has no musical chorus or bridge. Dylan recites 8 four-line verses about what the singer thinks is his perfect…
Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word (1968) – Joan Baez
I first heard Joan Baez perform Bob Dylan’s song Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word in the 1967 documentary of Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour of England – Don’t Look Back. From 3:00 minutes in the second video you can hear…
Long and Wasted Years (2012) – Bob Dylan
Long and Wasted Years is the first song to appear here from Bob Dylan’s 2012 album Tempest. It is an introspective monologue about someones’ longing for a lost love, juxtaposed with a sense of pride that they ‘wouldn’t do anything…

License To Kill (1983) – Bob Dylan
License To Kill is the fifth song so far to appear here from Bob Dylan’s 1983 record Infidels – if I include the Blind Willie McTell and Foot of Pride out-takes from the sessions. It boggles the senses how he could…
Let´s Stick Together (1988) – Bob Dylan
Let’s Stick Together is a song from Bob Dylan’s 25th studio album Down in the Groove in 1988. The album is definitely not one of Dylan’s most celebrated achievements, but it was one of the first cassettes I purchased when…
Forever Young (1973) – Bob Dylan
This is one of Bob’s most endearing songs. Dylan is quoted as saying that he wrote Forever Young in Tucson, Arizona, “thinking about” one of his sons and “not wanting to be too sentimental“. I like all versions of this song…
