My last post saw the introduction of a flash player to the site. This is a step that I've been meaning to get to for a little while, and in my opinion, it is overdue. As of this point, Carry You Away will be closer to its original goal - sharing music that I like with the world, but in a way that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be copied and distributed.
Unless I get a an okay from an artist, publicist or other related party, we're not going to offer downloads... MORE

What memory does it unfurl. I'm heading to Prospect Park tonight to check him and am psyched. Haven't seen the man in a while. And while I've heard these days his live set (read: voice) is a little weary, I feel like Dylan's music holds a special squishy spot in most people's proverbial 'sentimental heart'. For those who have seen his career evolution, his stack of albums are like totem poles of personal history.
I went through a serious Dylan phase when I was 16... MORE
Yeah, that's it...an excuse to post this track. A Bob Dylan concert is an event in itself, though these days they are best left to the true believers. Its easy to spot the folks who are here to see a legend, here to get that notation on their hip resume, or fullfilling a task on the bucket list. They're usually glassy-eyed & weary halfway through the second song. The True Believers, oblivious to tedium, hang on each jumble of squashed phrases & st... MORE
On February 17, 1965, I knew, of course, who Bob Dylan was. He was the guy who wrote "Blowin' In The Wind," and "Don't Think Twice," and the liner notes of a Peter, Paul & Mary album that my sister had. But Dylan didn't seem like part of my musical world. I was more of a top 40 fan, not too crazy about the 'folk revival." I did watch Les Crane's late-night TV show on ABC-TV. It was the first place I ever saw The Rolling Stones (an interview, not a performance). And ... MORE
....the one known tape of me singing is kept locked in a secret vault deep in the bowels of the Vatican, only taken out during the most extreme excorcisms. Yes, even the most vile demons run screaming in terror at the sound of me singing. <<<<But enough of that. Bob Dylan, maybe you've heard of him? This is one of his '92 rejects. Its obviously a rough cut. But his ability as a master vocalist shines through
'Tell Tale Signs' is a three-disc album that will include rarities and b-sides from the last twenty years. If you're wondering what a 10 year old rarity from Mr. Dylan sounds like, he's offering a sample called 'Dreamin' Of You' over at his official website as a teaser. "Tell Tale Signs, out on October 6, is comprised of unreleased studio recordings, demos, rare songs from soundtracks and some live versions, all recorded between 1989 and 2006." Notable Dylan albums re... MORE
I wish I could give you more information as to who's playin' on this track, or where, or when in '76 it happened. All I know is he doesn't perform this song very often. So, what's the connection? You connect the dots.
"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."
The immortal words of David Wooderson. The man, the myth, the legend. And in a movie full of great scenes, one of the most memorable for me is when Wooderson enters the Emporium, slo-mo style, set to Dlyan's 'Hurricane'.
For those several seconds, he was the epitome of late 1970's small town cool.
I've always loved Empire Burlesque One of the most famous outtakes from the EB sessions is "New Danville Girl." A satirical epic co-written with playwright Sam Shepard, it was originally an attempt at answering Lou Reed’s song, "Doin’ the Things That We Want To." (Reed was inspired to write "Doin’ the Things That We Want To" after seeing one of Shepard’s plays.) "It has to do with a guy standing on line and waiting to see an old Gregory Peck movie (called The Gunfight... MORE
Another great leftover from the Empire sessions "Who Loves You More", is as good as anything that made the album
This is really an awesome track and if you like it, head over to bobdylan.com and download it. Dylan recorded this during his Danial Lanois-produced Time Out Of Mind sessions. It's one of the tracks that will appear on the three-CD set, Tell Tale Signs, due out Oct. 7th. The set includes alternative versions and unreleased recordings made during the recording of Oh Mercy, Time Out Of Mind, Modern Times, World Gone Wrong plus a number of live recordings and some tracks c...

Mystery Train recorded live in the studio. Its a Shot Of Love era outtake/studio warm-up. >>>On another note; The NFL is gearing up for another season, you know what that means, right? That's right! The return of bubb!! Yeee-ha
Idiot Wind Along with Positively 4th Street offer a glimpse of The spokesman for his generation in full throated pissed off mode. In their original versions, each of these songs dripped with irony, anger, venom & fire. Idiot wind was written by an older, wiser man, still capable of rage and fury, but self-aware enough to know he's not blameless. And so one understands if these songs surface rarely in concert. Time, its said, heals all wounds. But contemplating the... MORE
