Blood on the Tracks album Product Description
Blood on the Tracks album by Bob Dylan was released Jun 01, 2004 on the Columbia label. By the mid-'70s, even Dylan's most ardent supporters began taking his artistic decline for granted. Blood on the Tracks songs Albums like NEW MORNING and PLANET WAVES were fine works, but lacked the visionary spark of his seminal '60s recordings. Blood on the Tracks album At 34 he was already being written off as a has-been. That presumption is what made BLOOD ON THE TRACKS such a glorious sucker-punch of a record. Blood on the Tracks CD music One of Dylan's most mournful efforts, this album, which easily ranks among his best, is full of stories about lost love and the struggle for peace of mind. With a simple, country-flavored backing somewhat akin to NASHVILLE SKYLINE, he recounts shattered love affairs in heart-breaking detail on songs like "Simple Twist Of Fate" and "If You See Her Say Hello." On the vengeful "Idiot Wind" he rails mercilessly against the ignorant and self-obsessed a la "Like A Rolling Stone." The difference here, and the major breakthrough for Dylan, is that by the end of the song, he's lumping himself in with those he excoriates so vehemently. Blood on the Tracks CD music contains a single disc with 10 songs. ...See Full Description

| This used to be the best album of all-time The album that tops this is the original September 1974 acetate version. Unfortunately he redid 5 of the songs in December with a different band. On the acetate an acoustic Lily, Rosemary. Different lyrics to Idiot Wind. Tangled Up and If You See Her are much better. You're A Big Girl Now, breathtaking. Substitute with the original and you'll never look back. By mowdamowda (Sydney, Oz) |
| wonderful wonderful album, surely one of Dylan's 5 best ever. It gives you emotions, dreams and reality, Bob's voice is at its best and the songs go deep, deep in your soul. A masterpiece, you are never tired of listening to this fantastic music. By Daniele (Italy) |
| 4th greatest of all time! I think this is the 4th best album in history - only behind Bob's "Bringing It All Back Home", "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde On Blonde" - Every song on here is a masterpiece and wonderfully put together!! My favorites are "Shelter From The Storm", "Lily, Rosemary", and "Tangled Up In Blue" but all are fantastic!! I definitely recommend this to any rock, country, folk or blues music fan!! It's truly incredible!! By Allen (Perryville, AR, USA) |
| Timeless Classic! "Blood On The Tracks" is not only one of Bob Dylan's most definitive and amazing works, but it's an absolutely perfect album, or at least close to it. It is a somewhat dark, but incredible Dylan work revolving around such themes as divorce, lost love, etc. He wrote some of the most heartfelt, bitter lyrics here, and it shows. His singing and performance, along with the songwriting, couldn't have come together in such an almost magical way other than this. "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Shelter From The Storm" have become 2 of his biggest hits. However, there is so much more to it than that. Songs like "Idiot Wind" and its painful theme have to be heard to be believed. Along with the touching acoustic ballads and country-tinged numbers, "Meet Me In The Morning" is a great acoustic blues number with such an unstoppable toe-tapping feel, that it's almost completely shocking. To make a long story short, it's unbelievable how this timeless Dylan album is so unpredictably stunning even after all these years since its release. By Ron Haynes, Jr. (Covington/Cornelia, GA, USA) |
| My Favorite Dylan I have listened to "Idiot Wind" handreds of times. As usual, he puts his entire soul into his heartfelt singing. That, combined with his poetry, is deeply moving. By Donna (Mankato, MN) |
