What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Not Dark Yet has to be one of my all time favorite Dylan songs!...a great album also!

from my library (cd)



A slight uptick from the last album of traditional folk covers. Both by me and the buying
public, as this one reached #10 on both the US and UK charts, returning Bob to platinum status
here which he hadn't seen since Slow Train Coming in 1979. With a 30 album career at this
point, you gotta cut the man some slack. Two love tracks and one flop for me on this one.
Didn't know this was released as a double album on vinyl, but I guess it would be, clocking in
at 72 minutes. I had finally pushed vinyl out of my buying. It was Bob's first album of all
original material in seven years and it netted him three Grammy awards including Album Of The
Year. A really laid back album with no upbeat tracks. Can get kind of boring because of that,
especially when you get to the last track of Highlands which drags on for sixteen minutes. I
usually love Dylans long tracks, but that one is pushing it. Could have been a love track but
for the length. A good album though. No clip for the excellent Make You Feel My Love, but Adele's
cover might be just as good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLoyNxjhTzc
