A more grammatically correct option would be "even though I try" (present simple) or "even though I've tried" (present perfect)

But I couldn't say that to Bob Dylan even if I tried.
Hey, the skies the limit on this subject.

Not a grammar mistake, but you made me remember this anyway:

So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"


But wine is not a spirit drink, because spirits are alcoholic beverages produced by distillation. And wine is just fermentation. Don commented he was criticized for that mistake, to which he laughed saying something like It's just a song, lyrics are written to rhyme or sound good, nothing more.

Don't be alarmed, this time it is not about Rumours.

Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) expands its premium reel-to-reel audiophile series with two essential albums: Fleetwood Mac (1975) and ZZ Top’s Tres Hombres (1973).
