LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

’60s folk and rock fans remember David Blue as perhaps the most authentic Dylan imitator in an era full of them, and certainly everything about this 1966 release, from the half-spoken, half-sung vocals, to the bluesy, keyboard-rich arrangements, to even the album cover shot of Blue sporting a curly Dylan-like haircut, brings Bob to mind. But Blue came by his Dylan influence honestly; he was not only a friend, part of the inner circle of Greenwich Village folkies, but also, as legend would have it, helped Dylan come up with the chords to "Blowin’ in the Wind." So if mid-’60s Bob is your bag, you’re gonna love this long-lost record, a key artifact of a very special time and place. Includes "The Gasman Won’t Buy Your Love," "About My Love," "So Easy She Goes By," "If Your Monkey Can’t Get It," "Midnight Through Morning," "It Ain’t the Rain That Sweeps the Highway Clean," "Arcade Love Machine," "Grand Hotel," "Justine," "I’d Like to Know," "The Street" and "It Tastes Like Candy." A Collectors’ Choice Music exclusive, with new notes featuring an interview with album producer Arthur Gorson!
