A year after
HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED, Dylan repeated the act with further
epitaphs of creative malarkey and intrigue. We were
spoiled with a double album, longer than anything we had
previously heard, yet still destined to endure. The
punishing touring and high profile drove Dylan to be
creative beyond belief as he scribbled these gems in his
hotel rooms. Surrounding himself with the likes of Al
Kooper, Robbie Robertson, Charlie McCoy and Kenny Buttrey,
these seasoned musicians gave this album a relaxed
confidence, quite unlike the youthful energy of HIGHWAY 61
REVISITED. More than thirty years later this album still
rewards and surprises. A gigantic record.
