A flatliner from Bob, nothing I love and nothing I don't like. He's back in the rock genre for
this one. Always fun trying to put Bob in a niche, as he doesn't stay anywhere long. Tried to
peg each track at the end of this. Another album that got high praise from both critics and
fans, his first #1 album here since Desire, thirty years earlier, though far from matching
those sales figures. Also #1 in Oz, Canada and #3 in the UK. As usual for a dylan album, no
lyrics and no liner notes. They do give the band credit this time, although there is no one I
have heard of. Album was recorded in three weeks which I love seeing. It doesn't take months or
years to make music. Just turn on the recorder and play. Grading all tracks the same makes it
hard to pick a best and worst. Clips for 9 of 10 tracks, woo-hoo.
