was his voice here caring more about its own beauty? Oct 18, 2009
During my life I have met more people who told me this was their favorite album of all music than any other. It probably has something to do with my living in America for most of my life, but I do remember back in late 70ties music lovers in Europe being blown away by this record. This is also my favorite album of this prolific and ambitious musician (next to Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid and Blonde On Blonde). The way the story is told here is so powerful. It is not political nor spiritual, unlike much of his other music. The theme of Blood On The Tracks to me seems to be our loneliness and the lessons it allows us to learn. When we are heartbroken we feel low but the tempo and emotions here are running high. The lyrics are great as we've gotten used to it with this artist but music is (to me) more developed and consistent than on many other of his albums. The quality of the overall recording of instruments was never one of Dylan's strengths but his voice here sounds to me more caring about its own beauty. My favorite tracks of this album are You're A Big Girl Now, Simple Twist Of Fate, If You See Her Say Hello, and Tangled Up in Blue. Back in 1998 I put together some of my favorite Dylan songs and I have revised that compilation in 2008 to include RPWL's version of Masters Of War, which I consider to be one of the best covers of all times. I used Dylan's words to name that compilation, When I Was Deep In Poverty You Taught Me How To Give:
1. Sara
2. You're A Big Girl Now
3. A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
4. One More Cup Of Coffee
5. Hazel
6. Simple Twist Of Fate
7. Blowin' In The Wind
8. Masters Of War
9. PGABTK Main Theme
10. Masters Of War RPWL
11. Under The Red Sky
12. Senor
13. Bunkhouse Theme
14. If You See Her Say Hello
15. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
16. Going Going Gone
17. Lay Lady Lay
18. Wedding Song
I can't help it if I'm lucky Oct 18, 2009

Blood on the tracks...on your mind too. Aug 20, 2009
A breakthrough - Dylan's country period is over for ever (I mean, he would return to the country style occasionally, but it would never remain high on the list of his priorities). The sound he's adopted here is unlike anything he'd done previously, either. If you really need some analogies, then I'd say it's closer to the sound on his early acoustic albums than anything else, in that there is little or no electric guitar on most of the tracks. On the other hand, keyboards, drums and bass guitar are featured prominently, and that's what makes the difference - Bob wouldn't switch on to complete acoustic folk again until the Nineties. So this album is also extremely quiet, extremely sad and thoughtful, with great un-psycho, but still complicated lyrics and tons o' good songs.
Love you Bob.
One of Dylan's best works Aug 10, 2009
I've been a Dylan fan since the early 60's. He has contributed greatly to the American music and cultural milieu. I own this album on vinyl (and now digitally) and it exemplifies his poetic artistry. The album features a number of loves songs and intense emotions. Perhaps one of his best works. A MUST for Dylan fans and anyone else who appreciates clever lyrics and life's "simple twists of fate".
Bob's Best Aug 03, 2009
I have been listening to Dylan since 1963 and I owned this CD when it first came out in album form. It is my favorite of all of Dylan's work. Perhaps because it focuses more on human relationships rather than politics ,it is more timeless. And the musicianship is terrific!
