Just seven years after Bob Dylan wrote “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” James Taylor wrote “Let It All Fall Down.”
James Taylor has said that Dylan was a revelation and a major influence on his lyrics. Dylan has often talked about Taylor’s song “Frozen Man”.
Bob Dylan and James Taylor are both write music that is deceptively simple, but their lyrics are poetic and profoundly deep. I would wager that both of them are quite familiar with the poetry of Robert Frost. – RHW
