"Spanish Is The Loving Tongue" is my all-time favorite Dylan vocal and it's not even from an album, it's from the New Morning sessions and features a solo Dylan. Though a studio version would eventually come out on the album Dylan in 1973, a record of outtakes from his albums New Morning and Self Portrait. This version, however, is just beautiful. It really captures an artist, who by all accounts was really having a hard go during these times, just laying it all out there; even if it was by accident. I don't get this feeling from any of his other songs and he's my favorite singer-songwriter ever. But when I play "Spanish Is The Loving Tongue" I hear something I don't get anywhere else: Authenticity.
