The Vandaveer name
carries with it far more of Dylan’s spirit than other contributors to
the genre… he’s telling stories, some
of which betray a cautious optimism, but most of which find dark places
to hide, with very little in the way of happy endings… This is a singer who can tell a pitch-black story in a way that
makes it sound more like unfortunate happenstance than world-moving
tragedy, as an observer rather than an interpreter.
