added on May 5, 2008, at 11:50 by musicworld

Almost universally disparaged and dismissed as the worst ever Dylan album, this 1973 collection of covers recorded in 1969/70 during the Self Portrait and New Morning sessions is actually not at all bad. Bob's voice is perhaps not the best for some of these tunes, but on the whole, this album hangs together with a fair degree of coherence. It's well performed and arranged, the main problems really being Bob's ability to hold the tunes, and the fact that sometimes he and his backing singers seem to be not entirely in the same key. Still, I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this album is. And, I would say, certainly not the worst Dylan album by a long stretch.
