What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Bob, you've had almost five years to snap out of this. After this album you get one more chance. I guess this one
was better than the last one, but not by much. Only two love tracks, weak for a Dylan. Two do not like tracks
including On A Night Like This, one of his worst for me. Backed by The Band, which I never thought complimented
Dylan. This was Bob's first #1 album in the states, accomplished long ago in the UK where a #7 was it's best
showing. They toured for this album, which was his first one since '66. Two versions of Forever Young here of which
the faster gets one of my love ratings. Bob did not want to include the slower version on the album but some arm
twisting took place. The little known Dirge has always been my favorite on the album, with Bob on a rare piano
performance. Although the album has gone Gold, after the initial pre-orders had died down, sales slumped
considerably in comparison to previous releases. Could he ever recover? The suspense heightens.
