Music Head Wrote:from my library (cd)
Couldn't be any worse than his last one for me. This ones all Dylan, vocal, guitar, some
harmonica, stripped down. A couple of love tracks. Biggest down side is none of the tracks are
originals. Traditional songs with a Dylan arrangement. Wasn't familiar with any but the worst
track, that stupid Froggie song. My dad used to sing that and it drove me crazy. Even I knew
frogs didn't go around courtin' mice. Although the critics were back on board with this album,
it was not well accepted by the music buyers, only reaching #51 here and #18 in the UK. Low by
Dylan standards and still a downward trend. And we're back to no links for a Dylan album.
