'65. That was also the year that the documentary "Don't Look Back", about his British tour, was done. There is a classic scene where he is being interviewed by a rather unwholesome looking reporter from Time, who is being rather condescending, and needling Dylan about his voice. Dylan gets mischievous, and start asserting that he sings better than Caruso. The guy is so shocked, he doesn't know how to respond, and is "begging to differ" and squirming all over the place, while Dylan is looking like a little imp about to break out laughing. The thing is, Dylan was better than Caruso--- for the kinds of songs he did, much like a banjo is better than a cello for certain things. Nowadays, his resonance sucks, because of past cocaine abuse, and so if he is not heavily produced, he doesn't sound so good. But he was an original voice as certainly as Johnny Cash for country (with whom he performed on "Nashville Skyline") or Mel Torme for "cool" jazz.......

FATHER OF NIGHT
(Words and Music by Bob Dylan)
1970, 1976 Big Sky Music

Father of night, Father of day,
Father, who taketh the darkness away,
Father, who teacheth the bird to fly,
Builder of rainbows up in the sky,
Father of loneliness and pain,
Father of love and Father of rain.

Father of day, Father of night,
Father of black, Father of white,
Father, who build the mountain so high,
Who shapeth the cloud up in the sky,
Father of time, Father of dreams,
Father, who turneth the rivers and streams.

Father of grain, Father of wheat,
Father of cold and Father of heat,
Father of air and Father of trees,
Who dwells in our hearts and our memories,
Father of minutes, Father of days,
Father of whom we most solemnly praise.
