Good call. I knew it reminded me of something and that was it.

Yes, Alexa Ray, like most seven year olds, was heavily inspired by Dylan's uneven albums of the mid-Seventies.

That Joel cover reminds me of this other Dylan cover too...

Just said it looked similar, nothing more. Feel free to be sarcastic, though.

I got this for Christmas (yay!) and love it. I wasn't sure what to think seeing the track listing, but it really is a great set for fans. I love some of the alternate and demo tracks, and it's interesting to hear where some songs came from. Though the echo on "Piano Man" is horrible and makes it almost unbearable to listen to.

Also, am I remembering wrong, or is the harmonica on "House Of Blue Light" much more in the front? I'm not sure I even remember it. But that could just be the quality of a cassette tape for you.

Still have a couple cds to go, and then the DVD, but I'm enjoying it so far!
