 Another Dylan Joke..... Nov 11, 2009
The cover looks like two guys entertaining each other in the back of a junk car.
The singing makes me wonder if this guy gargles with gravel every morning. But hey,its the master
so we have to rate it 5 stars,don't we? Not Me,avoid at all costs.Spend your money wisely in these tough times,go buy a remastered Beatle cd instead!

Mr. Dylan makes no effort to hide his most eclectic side in this new body of work. Each piece is contrasted by the next so that they all zing. In these originals, The Artist lets us know that he doesn't much care if we think he's cool or not, but he is cool. Massively cool. Are you a decades-long Dylan fan who has been less-than-delighted with some of his albums? Well, this makes up for it.
The extra CD in this Deluxe Edition is spectacular. Dylan zeroes in on extremely obscure but somehow extremely influential jewels of Americana -- grout that binds all sorts of odd pieces of music together and makes you want to learn more about each facet. I found myself driving 35 miles an hour so I could hear the whole thing in one gulp. Buy this. It's as good as anything he's ever done.

It's OK, but the Radio Hour disc is a lot of fun Jun 29, 2009
"Together Through Life" didn't make much of an impression on me, even after repeated listening. It seems like a watered-down version of "Modern Times." The second disc was my first exposure to Bob's radio show. The theme is Friends and Neighbors, and from the first (uncredited) strains of Charlie Parker doing "Just Friends," you know you're in good hands. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Another Side of Bob Dylan Jun 26, 2009
Ever wonder what Dylan sounds like when he's in a good mood?
I thoroughly enjoyed this album - more and more each time I listened to it. What stands out here is the emotion in the songs. There is a sweetness in every track and a humour in most - it sounds as if the whole album is sung with a half-smile. I certainly smile and chuckle every time I listen.
I'd like to address some of the common critcisms of the album:
1. "Bob can't sing."
The songs are well-matched to what Bob's voice can do - the vocal style is an intimate, growling croon. None of these tunes demand soaring vocals, and I, for one, would be glad to have someone singing to me the way Bob sings to the beloved on this album.
2. "It ain't Blood on the Tracks. (or Blonde on Blonde, or Highway 61 Revisited)."
Actually, I feel the album is very closely related to Blood on the Tracks, with the difference being that Blood on the Tracks is about love lost, while this one is about love regained or renewed. If Blood on the Tracks is Let it Be, Together Through Life is A Hard Day's Night. (Well, a much older person's Hard Day's Night.) Pain tends to produce masterpieces like "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water," but I can't listen to those every day. Sometimes I'd rather hear a good joke or a double entendre with a catchy bass line. That's what you get here.
Don't miss this album. You will be rewarded with lines like:
From "I Feel a Change Coming On":
You are as coltish as ever, Baby you can start a fire.
I must be losing my mind, you the object of my desire.
From "Hell's My Wife's Hometown":
She can make things bad, she can make things worse,
She got stuff more potent than a gypsy curse!
Keep on walking, don't be hanging around.
I just want to say that Hell's my wife's hometown.
From "It's All Good":
I'm gonna pluck off your beard, and blow it in your face,
This time tomorrow, I'll be rolling in your place.
Take this album in the spirit it's offered, and enjoy it!

This may very well be the best he's ever done.
I listen to it non-stop.
