Thoughts on Dylan Impression

Post by CrowsofFritz »

Went to an open mic and sang and played quite a few songs. One of them was a Dylan song and the people there told me I should come back and play all Dylan songs because I sounded a bit like him. I said okay, but I don’t want to go in if I sound like garbage. Excuse the mistakes as I’m still learning them. Sound okay or nah?

Not as nasal as RZ but in the same ball park.
A fair rendition of him though.
Cheers

Hey Crows,

I may be wrong but the afore mentioned lack of "nasaliness" could be attributed to the recording chain, overall I enjoyed it. The wife heard it and coming from someone who doesn't really appreciate Dylan's voice, she said you nailed it.

Well done mate.

Hahaha I appreciate it all—the wife comment was funny. Yeah, I just recorded it on the iPad. I can probably go a little nasalier, but I don’t want to sound like a try hard.

That's a decent impression, but I'd honestly be pretty bored if someone at an open mic did more than one song of that.

Thank ya! I’d sorta think so, too. I only get three songs. I’m almost tempted to ask the audience after one cover if they’d rather hear more Dylan or my own songs. Whichever is louder wins.

Thank ya! The open mic is tonight. I think I’ll cut a Dylan song and do one of my own to mix it up a bit.

Thank you! I’m still deciding which one to cut lol. This helps a bit.

Blowin' In the Wind was my favorite. Your impression was best on that one. Mr. Tambourine Man was my second favorite.

Thanks Triple!

It was a lame open mic, but I learned some songs and harmonica, so it wasn’t all bad.

Sorry to hear the night was lame, but you do a good impression of him. Nice thing to have in your pocket for performances.

Thank you so much! It was lame, but far from the worst I’ve been to. And I’ll definitely be going to others in the future. I don’t think there will ever be something I’ll play that’s worse than the gig I played that shall not be named lol.
