## Summary

Bob Dylan singled out Neil Young as the musician he could listen to indefinitely, praising his sincerity, distinctive voice and instinct for melody. The article presents the admiration as notable because Dylan is sparing with praise, while the two artists’ mutual respect has endured across decades of influential songwriting careers.

Dylan said Young could make even his “thrashy” material melodic, calling him unmatched in that respect. Their connection included Young joining Dylan on tour in 1988 during a difficult period for Dylan, and Dylan later referencing Young in ‘Highlands’, from his 1997 album Time Out of Mind; Young has also called Dylan “the master”.
