 (8 Customer Reviews)
TIME OUT OF MIND won the 1998 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Cold Irons Bound" won the 1998 Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. This album by the quintessential singer-songwriter comes ... Full Descriptionafter a long layoff from recording original material. Dylan's previous two albums were powerful collections of traditional songs, and the album that preceded them was full of some rather iffy original tunes, so all eyes were on Dylan to make one of his patented surprise comebacks. As luck would have it, that's exactly what TIME OUT OF MIND turns out to be. Produced by Daniel Lanois, who manned the boards for Dylan's best latter-day album, OH MERCY, this one has the kind of raw, spontaneous vibe that serves Zimmy's music so well.
Loss and world-weariness abound in the lyrics, and Dylan articulates these emotions perfectly, in a manner that seems simultaneously casual and precise. Songs like "Standing In The Doorway" and "Million Miles" are bathed in sorrow and emotional desolation, but are so well-crafted that their solipsism is irresistible. An all-star cast including Ry Cooder and Duke Robillard provides the sparse, rough-edged, bluesy accompaniment that casts Dylan's compositions in the perfect musical light. Bob's back!

Rolling Stone (10/2/97, pp.53-54) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...TIME's perspective is that of an outsider speaking to an absent confidant....a more fully realized version of OH MERCY....Dylan has made a coherent, sonically striking but equally subdued ensemble album..."

Spin (1/98, p.86) - Ranked #5 on Spin's list of the "Top 20 Albums Of The Year."
Spin (12/97, p.154) - 9 (out of 10) - "...the whole shebang is pretty terrific, stuffed with the fun freedom of train-song rhythms; swampy, organ-studded soul; boyish ballads; and worn-out blues. Hearing them all, you get the sense of a loner's road trip....These are the thoughts of a pilgrim, and he's headed to the grave..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/03/97, pp.80-82) - "...Dylan's songwriting is at once blissfully assured and gleefully uneven throughout....Dylan sounds lively, even playful--in no way is this album a downer. It sounds as if, at 56, he can't wait to be a full-fledged old codger..." - Rating: A+

 Excellent Album
The reviewers who gave this album a one star rating have to be the type of people who, when asked if they like Dylan, and say yes, really only know Knockin' On Heavens Door and Like A Rolling Stone. Time Out Of Mind is not only one of the best Dylan albums of all time, but one the best music albums of all time. Check it out.

thank you Bob
Some of my favourite tracks were "tryin to get to heaven" and "not dark yet" but now I enjoy every song on this CD. The more I listened the more I appreciate this great poet. These songs as with most Dylan songs have a message that you can relate to. I you like dylan you can't go wrong with this CD.

Unlistenable
Over 70 minutes of this! Dylan sounds bored with these songs.He sounds like he took a sleeping pill before he started recording.Avoid this at all costs.
