BOB DYLAN "modern times" cd, 2006
album chart stats: #1 US, #1 AU, #3 UK.
i guess you'd probalby call Dylan "classic rock" nowadays???
not sure, but this is probably around his 30th studio album or so...
cant really sell this one to you guys, its Dylan, you either like or dislike him...
rough gravelly vocals here, that familliar jazzy/bluesy sound he uses nowadys is all over this one...
a couple of classic ballads on here in "when the deal goes down" and my mum's favourite track on this one "working man blues #2", which IMO is almost a "union sundown pt.II".
elsewhere, we have the opening track "thunder on the mountain" in which Dylan is in a fine venom spitting mood...
and in a recent 'rolling stone' magazine they put "nettie moore" from this album in their list of top100 Dylan songs of all time...
al up though, a very good album from a man who was 44yrs into his career at this time!
