Bob Dylan: "High Water" from the album "Love And Theft", 2001

For Charley Patton

LOVE AND THEFT album cover artwork
"Love And Theft", Track #7

SCOTT H: Eerie, haunting, prophetic. In the vein of Blind Willie McTell and All Along The Watchtower. There's so much more here than meets the ear. This is one of those songs that make you think of Dylan as a modern form of Ezekiel or Isaiah. The phrasing at the end of the verse about Charles Darwin..."either one, I don't care..." is about as close to haunting perfection as is possible in a song. As great as you are, man, you'll never be greater than yourself. Indeed. (10/05/11)

TOM: Not only the perfect Dylan song but the perfect song. Combines a Country-Blues sound with great lyrics. "We got Charles Darwin trapped out on Highway 5...." (05/19/11)

BOTTICELLI'S NEPHEW: even better live! (04/22/06)
