Cornfield


Only twice I've heard a harmonica that sounds like a "cornfield". Yes it is, a cornfield. The first one is Neil Young alive in After the Goldrush, and the second one once again alive, is Bob Dylan in Just like a Woman. Two diferent songs that has absolutaly nothing in common except the fact that they were recorded in the 60', what means virtually nothing since most of songs we talk about here ere from the sixties.
After the Goldrush talks about aort of an abduction, were a silver spaceship takes the childrien away. Almost a Sci-Fi lyric. Yet visionary remains a taste of folk style, most like a trip instead a novel. Dylan's song is about being a woman, or feels like one. A psycological conflict between body and mind and so on. A typical social Bob Dylan's subject and a very careful harmonica playing also feels like a whole cornfield.
Check it out yourself.
