4-NThe iday, Jan. 14,1988 Classfo Record Swing: Dylan's Back By TROY IRVINE Bob Dylan is back. He's returned with an album that is relaxed and un- freaky, entitled "John Wesley Harding." Album No. 8 and it's Dylan's best. He's no longer the wandering troubadour with his social conscience expressed in his songs' lyrics.

He's more mun- dane, his songs molasses heavy with a raw-edged voice that sometimes is a bleak wail and at others a guttural Sj murmur. THE 12 ALBUM CUTS are all original, all a profound aesthetic experience as Dylan translates themes known mostly to those who've experienced poverty, loneliness, fear, despair. Dylan is the playing guitar, harmonica and piano. He has exemplary support from an All-Nashville cast that includes Charles McCoy on bass; Kenny Buttrey on drums and Pete Drake on steel guitar (on the selections "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" and "Down Along the Best cut of the album is "All Along the Watchtower," which has a distinct Beatle overtone. And also exceptional are' "Drifter's Escape," a funky Western tune, and "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight." It's been over a year since his last album, "Blonde on Blonde," but the pause has been worth it.

For Dylan has come from his retreat in Woodstock, N.Y., to rise above folk music and fuse the businessman's dilemma with the plowman's woes and the hobo's blues. HE AT ALL TIMES is Dylan, always down home, so way down that he paints America not as the sightseer sees it from the glass bubble on the Greyhound bus, but as the bum who collects coke bottles off the shoulder of the road and cashes them in for his next meal. In this effort he sings his lyrics, rather than talk or chant, breathing life, resuscitating folk-which-has-lost-direction and updating it. Dylan also is physically changed. His picture on the black and white cover photo looks like a young Abe Lincoln.

He's heavier, with a jaw-line beard and his electra locks are flattened by a Mennonite-style black hat. Although his Nashville sessions have been private, he has been seen in public (though only occasionally recognized) and is said to look well. There are no visible scars from his August 1966 motorcycle accident as suggested in the press. THE FEELING OF the album is somewhat like "Highway 61 Revisited" with a middle tempo that flows throughout. His favorite characters are Robin Hood types whose concern is for the poor.

This is evident in the theme song, "John Wesley Harding" "He was never known to hurt on honest man." "John Wesley Harding" will be considered Dylan's best. That is, until his next album and Dylan is a little older, and wiser, and has found better forms of communication. Until then, "John Wesley Harding" will be celebrated. MARQUEE NOTES: The 12 O'Clock High reformed last Wednesday night to play at the Experience in Phoenix. The group's bassman, Billy Caldwell, is part-owner of the club and a promoter who has brought the Valley's top light show in.

It's the light works of Bob Ramsey the original Phoenix light show man Swingers still are remarking over a New Year's Eve party given by Russ and Paula Hazelett. The blastout for 300 friends was at the Desert Rose Hotel and featured the drive and technique of the Stan Cole Group. The only complaint of the party might have come next morning, when 300 took aspirin with their orange juice. Menuhin and Du Pre Featured In Beethoven and Boccherini Violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who will be the featured guest on Friday's Bell Telephone Hour, has recently released an album through Capitol Records (SP-8667, also available in Monophonic) entitled Ye- hudi Menuhuin: Romances for Violin and Orchestra. The interest of the record varies with the choice of music Beethoven's Romances Nos.

1 and 2, Op. 40 and 50; Wieniawski's "Legende," Op. 17; Chausson's "Poeme," Op. 25; and Berlioz's "Romance, Reverie et Caprice," Op. 8.

All are lush, violinistic pieces, but the Beethoven works are by far the most interesting. Menuhin is superb throughout. His style is not particularly large, or forcefully dramatic. Rather, he depends for his appeal on truly remarkable artistry. Every nuance and shading is superbly shaped, and his respect for the music impeccable.

It is perhaps for these reasons that the Wieniawski, This Week's Symphony Guy Taylor conducts the Phoenix Symphony's fourth concert pair tomorrow at Gammage Auditorium and Tuesday at Phoenix Union Auditorium, Erica Morini, violinist, will be guest soloist for the program, which includes: Jubilee Overture Ron Nelson Concerto No. 2, in minor, Op. 22 Wieniawski (Intermission) Symphonic Fantastique, Op. 14 Berlioz Ticket information may be obtained at all Community Box Office locations. Chausson, and Berlioz works suffer.

They demand, for fullest impact, a virtuistic display which Menuhin does not use. But the Beethoven alone makes the record an outstanding release. Menuhin is accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra under John Pritchard, and although the orchestra's sound is rich and full, Pritchard's sensitivity is not equal to Menuhin's. The balance, then, is a record of reasonable caliber throughout, with two very high achievements from Menuhin in the Beethoven romances. Cellist Jacqueline Du Pre, who attracted international attention by her performance in England 6 years ago of Elgar's Cello Concerto, when she was just 17, has recorded Haydn's newly discovered Cello Concerto in and Boccherini's Cello Concerto in B-flat with the English Chamber Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim (her husband) conducting (Angel, S-36439).

Both concertos are delightful, melodic pieces of the 18th century, but unfortunately, they do not receive their due from the performers. Their musicianship and coordination is solid in fact, somewhat too solid for music that should be given a more gentle performance. The orchestra seems too large for the works, and Miss Du Pre seems to be playing with a style more appropriate to 19th century mu- J. SPEAKEASY ANNOUNCES HIS GRAND OPENING JAN. P.M.
