I've been reading the Clinton Heylin "Double Talk" biography of Dylan. (The first volume goes up to the motorcycle accident; the second hasn't been published yet). There's a fun passage describing McCarthy's first (and subsequent) reactions to Bob'sfirst album:
"As with most musical trends, McCartney had the jump on Lennon, who gamely admitted, 'Paul had heard of him [Dylan] before, but until we played Freewheelin' his name did not really mean anything to the rest of us.' Macca could well have brought thealbum with him to Paris, having 'borrowed' it from his brother, Mike McGear, who who had borrowed it from a girl he had been (vainly) trying to impress, someone hip enough to own an import copy. McGear's first reaction on hearing Freewheelin' at her
I wonder which Freewheelin' songs Macca considered "dulcet." Or maybe "dulcet" is meant sarcastically.Er, second album.
