Description

I'm not an authority on Dylan, I just like some - not all - of his music. This album is among my favourites of everything he's done, and that's probably because of the ballads I'll Remember You and Emotionally Yours: I just think they're songwriting at its best. No-one seems to have written consistently about love like Dylan has. What surprises me is that everybody knows Tambourine Man; but not everybody knows (or likes!) this album. Possibly it's lost amidst the 'scandal' of his alleged religious conversion in the late 70s. One thing that distinguishesmore… it from the rest of his output is the excellent, but sadly unrehearsed, gospel harmonising on most of the songs. If you're a devotee of Dylan's lyrics, there's plenty here to get your interpretative teeth into (esp. the last solo guitar/harmonica ballad Dark Eyes); and if you just like uptempo love (or socio-political) songs, then Empire Burlesque ought to satisfy; but if you're a follower of his early work, then this post-Saved album might not appeal to you.
