single "good for a laugh ... crazy title and the song is even cornier. It's a nonsense that could sell."[1]
Album
Ralph Gleason "comic, satitical ... with its Ma Rainey traditional blues feeling, its wild lyrics and it's great guitar bits by [Robertson]"[2]
"Stripped of its drug implications, [the song] is a banal piece of musical hokum."; [some track are "ephemeral"] "who will remember Rainy Day Women in a year's time?"[3]
"jolly, uncomplicated and so blatantly meaningless"[4]
"(the uncut original) is brilliant in its simplicity: in a way, it's Dylan's answer to the uptight cats who are searching for messages. This one has a message, and it couldn't be clearer, or mere outrageously true. Time magazine is just too damn stoned to appreciate it."[5]
I previously removed "New Orleans R&B" Ribowsky, Mark (2015). Whiskey Bottles and Brand-New Cars: The Fast Life and Sudden Death of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Chicago Review Press) (I had previously removed this)
Blues: "An example of Dylan pairing musical twelve-bar blues with a different pattern of lyrics" (Starr)
Pop: "tighter pop songs, all of which became hits" [e.g. Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35] (Robins, Wayne (2008). A Brief History of Rock, Off the Record, Routledge}}</ref>; "lightweight pop" (Charlesworth, Chris (2008). 25 Albums that Rocked the World, Omnibus)
Soft rock: (I'm not sure if it's actually a genre, but it gives me a chance to add this odd quote!) "WJBK ... has launched a soft=rock format ... The station is now injecting current Hot 100 singles of non-raucous nature ... [for example] 'Rainy Day Women'" ("WJBK amends its format to soft rock", Billboard, May 14 1966, p.24)
"another favorite of mine: in its simplicity it packs a punch that a more complex song would often pull".[5]
"I Want You"
[edit]"pretentious"[6]
"is a delightful song. The melody is attractive and very catchy; Dylan’s voice is more versatile than ever; [praised musicians] The song is lighthearted, but fantastically honest; perhaps what is most striking about it is its inherent innocence. Dylan as a remarkably healthy attitude toward sex, and he makes our society look sick by comparison (it is)."[7]
"'I Want You' should especially appeal to the teens in Dylan's growing audience because, while it remains complex in imagery, it expresses its theme in simple phrases like 'I need you so bad.'"[8]
Liverpool Echo 16 Jul 1966, Sat · Page 4
Favourite from the album, "a chain of anecdotes bound together by an evocative chorus .... Dylan relates specific episodes and emotions in his offhand impressionistic manner, somehow making the universal specific and then making it universal again in that oh-so-accurate refrain. The arrangement is truly beautiful; never have I heard the organ played so effectively"[9]
Ralph Gleason "wildly swinging track on which the band plays so well".[10]
Gill
Ultimate Music Guide, Spencer "its refrain borrowed from Buddy Holly’s “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore”; 5/5 stars
more from Trager?
Beviglia (re live version), , Tim Riley, .
1st track on side 3, Shelton 87 p.548 Shelton p.324 "Bright-tempoed blues riff with a walloping forward motion, structured on one insistent pattern above, an almost martial drum figure below. [in 74] the lead track on Flood. “Most Likely” became one of his most infectious stompers. The lyrics, for all their mundaneness, build with economy a dialogue of lovers parting."
