The
great Zim has been written off many times, and yet he can
and will always come back and surprise us with another
tremendous album. Much credit is given to producer Daniel
Lanois, but don't forget, a producer cannot do much with
pencil shavings. Some of Dylan's most cryptic statements
are on this album. He was always better as a romantic than
as a protest folkie, and the less obscure his lyrics
become, the more he opens his heart. Take, for example,
the simple "Where Teardrops Fall."
Alternatively, the brilliant twist in the tail, "Most
Of The Time," is the deepest: `Don't even remember
what her lips felt like on mine, most of the time.'
