I am blown away by this album. It is beautiful and such an refreshing mixture of styles. Now that I've listened a number of times, I am drawn especially to tracks 6,1,2, 11, 7, 14. That's not to say I don't like the other songs; I think that this is Dylan's best record yet. But those ones especially draw me back.

I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob!
