Weekly Bob Dylan pull. Not positive but I think this is about the point for me where Bob's albums became
nothing special for me. Still highly anticipated, but usually a let down. There were still always one or
two superb tracks but more disappointments. The one excellent track here is Tight Connection To My Heart
which I think is among his best work. On most of these tracks the background vocalists are too foreground,
overshadowing Bob. Only the last track on this album is that not the case. The album peaked at #33 here
and #11 in the UK. I do love the coat Bob is wearing on the cover and also in the rare video for that
first track.
