Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

Inevitably, when critics praise a new Dylan album, they label it the "best since Blood on the Tracks," and with good reason. Inspired by a crumbled marriage, and recorded after a tour with The Band had apparently re-ignited his creativity, Blood is among Dylan's masterpieces. The album's epic songs are well known, but its real high points are the shorter numbers--"You're a Big Girl Now," the flawless blues "Meet Me in the Morning," and the sweetly devastating "Buckets of Rain." These are songs of "images and distorted facts," each expressed through tangled points of view, and all of them blue. --David Cantwell

It's hard to find sufficient words to describe this album, but "masterpiece" is certainly a good start. "Blood On The Tracks" simply has no weak points, but simply a series of peaks. Even for a casual Dylan fan (like myself), this is an essential disc. This was my first Dylan record when I bought it on vinyl back in 1975, after hearing "Tangled Up In Blue" on the radio. But I was captivated by the rest of the record, especially "Lilly, Rosemary..", "Shelter From The Storm", "Twist Of Fate" and "Buckets Of Rain". It's now the first Dylan record I bought on CD, and the re-mastering sounds great!

Several reviewers have gone on at great length to describe the nuances of each and every song on this album. I'm really glad they did, because it saved me a lot of typing. I've owned this album since 1976, and although Bob has some other good ones, this is the strongest by far. Clean sound, interesting lyrics, and good supporting musicians.

I have a collection of well over 400 CDs. It finally hit me this evening; after listening to this CD for the "ump-teenth" time in "ump-teen" years, this is the only CD I ever needed. Everything I ever needed to know about life was found right here.

"Blood on the Tracks" is about Dylans divorce? Really, who knew? Outside of his music does he ever talk? I have all his records but know nothing else. Read more
