singles:
"not dark yet".....no chart action anywhere
"lovesick"...........#64 UK

almost at the end of the xmas giftcard purchases now(only a handful to go!)
Daniel Lanois produced this one...enough said IMO, i dont like his production work on anything ive heard from any artist(including Neil Young)
studio album #30 starts off okay with "lovesick" which has a bit of a Knopfler solo feel going on, then on to the rockabilly of track #2's "dirt road blues"...
from there on in its pretty predictable Dylan from that 1990s period of his career.
overall lyrical content is pretty second rate for a Dylan album, his vocals are okay though.
onlly one track really stands out for me off this one and its the beautiful ballad "make you feel my love".
theres actually three tracks on here that im not keen on which is rare for me with a Dylan album.
allmusic rate this one a converted 2.7...either the pro's were smoking something illegal when they rated this one or i am way off with my score!
