Album Notes Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Donna Weiss, Priscilla Jones-Campbell, Brenda Patterson, Byron Berline (vocals); Roger McGuinn, Carol Hunter (guitar); Bruce Langhorne (acoustic guitar); Jolly Roger (banjo); Fred Katz, Ted Michel (cello); Gary Foster (flute, recorder); Carl Fortina (harmonium); Terry Paul, Booker T (bass instrument); Jim Keltner (drums); Russ Kunkel (bongos, tambourine). Even though it contains the classic rock standard "Knocking on Heaven's Door," PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID is one of Dylan's least-known albums. Recorded as the soundtrack to the surreal, somewhat violent Sam Peckinpah Western in which Dylan co-starred, the album consists mainly of reflective, rustic instrumentals. Of the two songs with vocals, "Billy" is a compelling outlaw narrative, complete with earnestly strummed acoustic guitars and Dylan's wheezing harmonica, while the epic, ominous "Knocking On Heaven's Door" is a rock masterpiece that evokes the wide-open space and desolation of the Old West. Though the remainder of the album is devoted to instrumentals, tracks like the delicate, wistful "River Theme" are impressive in their own understated way. Backed by Byrds' guitarist Roger McGuinn and an assortment of top-drawer West Coast session players, Dylan created a moody, mythic musical landscape on PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID. It was one of his last albums to capture the restless spirit and otherworldly feel of his classic sixties recordings.

Cause I Can't Use It Anymore...Review created: 04/27/08 by: thevoid99 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Instrumental Jams, Country Vibe, Production, Folk-Like Lyrics, & Dylan's Voice. Cons: It's Minor Compared to Other Dylan Albums. Following the release of 1970's New Morning, Bob Dylan went into a period of seclusion. With a rare appearance at George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, Dylan took a break from the public eye in the early 1970s raising a family while belting out a few songs in 1971 for a second greatest hits album. Then in 1972, Dylan was approached by screenwriter Rudolph Wurlitzer to do music for Sam Peckinpah's revisionist western Pat Garrett Review ID: 10000000006892279 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
