Just enough details are left out to keep things enigmatic.Bob Dylan: 60 Years of Creating, explores the artists unmatched achievements across creative media, from his first studio album release in 1962 to the recent announcement of his forthcoming museum retrospective at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum, Miami, in November 2021. It has one of his most commanding vocals, a killer set of lyrics, hair-raising harp and gypsy violin, and it’s one of his best story songs that kinda-sorta-almost makes complete sense. Didnt seem like much was happenin.From the opening “dun-nun” of the piano, to the climactic, dust cloud ending, Desire’s “Isis” deserves to be considered one of Bob Dylan’s all-time greatest.

The dividing line runs through the center of town. He comes to a high place of darkness and light. He needs a weekend with the guys or something. It also captures some of the magnetic push and pull between the two sexes, as well as some archetypal qualities of each.Bob Dylan leaves his woman, the honeymoon is over, they can’t get along right now. The character Dylan portrays in “Isis” is morally flawed, unshakebly restless, and susceptible to greed.

Whatever it is, it’s better than hanging around at home with Isis. Or maybe it’s jewels, money, pirate’s treasure. He offers Bob “something easy to catch.” Sounds sexual. He needs a light and Dylan gives it to him. Like the ghost in the “House Carpenter,” follow him at your own peril. However, he forgets to bring any money.A mysterious stranger approaches — maybe he’s Satan, maybe he’s just your average bandito.

And oh yeah, the stranger now reveals his shadiest intentions: there’s a body inside, worth a lot of money. Pyramids? What are frozen pyramids doing in this story? Adding color, adding mystery. She had some good qualities, right? Sure she did.They come to the pyramids all embedded in ice.

It’s a beautiful thing.The White Stripes are the only band brave enough to have covered “Isis.” The great Dr. What drives him to her is what drives him insane, but it beats being some vagabond tomb raider.Then there’s a very Dylan-esque conversation, probably similar to the ones he has with his real wives:She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special.”She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, I guess.”She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural.”She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “if you want me to, yes.”Except he doesn’t just say “yes.” He snarls it. He puts the strangers’ body where no body was before, a sort of poetic redistribution of goods, and, feeling reborn, rides back to find Isis, just to tell her he loves her. And the stranger up and died before they even made it inside, so Dylan has to improvise.

Unfortunately, this is also the period of his weakest material (on the whole), so many of his great vocal performances go unnoticed. Really, I think his vocals are impressive – by any measure – from ’76 to the late 80s. I would argue that THE BASEMENT TAPES also represents a vocal peak, and I think his singing is very strong on NEW MORNING – despite, or in part thanks to, his cold at the time. A live version appears on Biograph and Live 1975, but the studio version remains untouchable.I think DESIRE does see Dylan at a vocal peak.
