What Are You Listening To?

from my library (cd)



Weekly pull from the old cd stack. Still on Dylan, up to his 24th album. Once Again, one
classic track here with Brownsville Girl. Two tracks not worthy of being Dylan tracks. Only
eight tracks in total here leaving five for the ok mark. Probably my second favorite track
here, They Killed Him, I had forgotten it was written by Kris Kristofferson. Seems like that
song could have been built on lyrically. As for the classic track, it doesn't get any better
Dylan for me than that one. Eleven minutes and I still don't want it to end. Co-written with
Sam Shepard. Would be interesting to hear how that collaboration came about, and what
part Mr. Shepard atually played. There are only two songs on this album that are Dylan
originals and one of those gets a do not like grade. Panned by most of the critics on it's
release, the album reached #53 in the states, #35 in the UK and #27 in the land down under.
Not one clip is available on youtube for this album.
