Sound Alikes

So I was just listening to Ray Lamontagne's first album Trouble which reminds me for some reason of Astral Weeks era Van Morrison and when the last track came on All The Wild Horses the string arrangement brought me to Dylan's All The Tired Horses from Self Portrait.

It was funny because I didn't have the Lamontagne jacket in front of me when I decided to post about the similarity so I couldn't see what the title of the song was but as soon as I picked it I had to wonder whether the arrangement was purposely lifted as the names are so similar.

Either way both are gorgeous songs.

Nice detective work. That's some deep attentive listening right there...
