Nothing brings people together like music. This year I decided to share a handful of my favorites with all of Big Duck’s friends. In the cold winter months to come, it’s important to have some warm soothing sounds to get you through those brisk days. Enjoy!
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan – New Morning
After Dylan’s 1969 motorcycle accident he ducked into hiding, mostly to spend time with his young children and take a break from touring. Recorded in 1970, “New Morning” shows a more endearing and less abstract side of the world famous pop star. There’s an unmistakable timber in songs like “Sign on the Window” and “The Man in Me” that’s reminiscent of love and family. The album has a gentle optimism that some of his earlier work lacks. Not to be lumped in with some of the lesser works Dylan produced in the 70’s, “New Morning” is a testament to fresh beginnings, love and family. A true classic, and a great way to start the new year.
