SAD-EYED LADY By MODARTIST For Bob & Sara

MUZIK4☊ONLY

What can be said that hasn't been said already? Like so many, I consider this the greatest, most monumental love song, poem, pean of all time. For those un-acquainted with it, get Dylan's album BLONDE ON BLONDE, and see the opus that takes up an entire side of one album (it's a double LP)!!! As my FB friend Sujit wrote to me when I told him I was recording my interpretation of the song:

"'Sad eyed lady'.. I can't tell you enough how much I love that song. I have used it in refuge, inspiration, lullaby, home, alienation, comfort, grief; all sorts of mad things one's mind allows one to do...."

And there are hundreds of books and essays which try to delve into and capture just what makes these words and this tune so special for so many people. I hope when you hear my singing and playing, that will be enough to explain my closeness and admiration for Bob's vision. Written for his wife Sara, in 1966. She is featured, along with a bevy of other sad-eyed ladies....I wish to thank all the artists and photographers whose incredible work is displayed here.
