DAVID BLUE - "I'll Never Be Home Again" (1966)

 
I love this 1966 LP by David Blue. It was just so perfect when it came out, but nobody seemed to care, and I'm not sure if that's changed much over the years. I think this LP was blown off as just another Dylan wannabe like Donovan, who is another artist I really like.
 
This music and the lyrics don't make sense, and do make sense at the same time.
 Think of Lou Reed fronting The Band instead of Bob Dylan, or Dylan playing with The Velvet Underground.

 
 Lou Reed was a big fan of Bob Dylan, and if you listen closely to some of Lou's early music, it's pretty obvious.
In the 1983 best fictional music film of all time, "Get Crazy," Lou Reed plays a very Dylanesque character named Auden who misses the concert because he's spacing out in the back of a cab on the way to the show he's supposed to be headlining, or was it David Blue?
There's so many songs I like on this David Blue LP that it's hard to choose just one, in fact, it's impossible, but here's a real good one.
