I love how fade out of Taormina ends right when a mandolin solo starts.

Incredible beautiful song  :D

My mum came in for a glass of wine. I had to kick her out of the huse, because she wanted to hear this song again and again, even after 6 times. I don't matter, so far my number one on the album.

I think that "Seems like another lifetime, When they rambled along the shore, Seems like another lifetime, She used to call him her sweet senor" is sung very much in Dylan way.

Yes especially Dylan's Nashville Skyline era. When his voice sounds good. The song is a masterpiece imho. Best on the (whole) album.

I think it's good to hear Phil Cunningham on this quite clearly (even a little solo).  Maybe a guest in Glasgow...

Basically a mashup of Save the last dance for me and Sunday morning coming down, but still my favourite of the album at the moment.

I ran into Phil earlier today and asked him about his time in the studio and the accordion but he was playing it close to his chest!  ;)

His contribution on this track could almost put an end to all accordion jokes!

Everyone loves Taormina indeed.

The song dips me into a trance literally right from the first seconds.
Well, it's a pleasurable sensation, there's no denying.  :)

This tune creates so relaxing atmosphere, that all the thoughts instantly disappear.
And so I have no more to say.  :)

I don't know why it's reminds me some Ry Cooder inspiration with Flaco Jimenez with the accordian.
