Dylan's last pre-Christianity batch of tunes, ... Full DescriptionSTREET LEGAL achieves a comfortable balance between the staid professionalism of the same year's live recording AT BUDOKAN and the rough-and-ready aesthetic of previous albums like DESIRE. As was often the case in his post-BLOOD ON THE TRACKS records, some of the most effective tunes on STREET LEGAL are those that he seems to have labored over least. A good example is the way the simple 12-bar blues of "New Pony" eclipses the more elaborately constructed opener "Changing of the Guards."
Naturally, that's not to say Dylan's vaunted wordplay had hit a valley on STREET LEGAL. Anyone who can rhyme "where we're headin'" with "Armageddon," as he does on "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)," plainly has more than a few lyrical tricks left up his sleeve. Those searching for subtext in the tunes here may note the evidence of a spiritual turmoil that would soon lead to Dylan's theological metamorphosis.

Q (7/95, p.141) - 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...the songs are brilliant and the preoccupations that fuel them only add to the slightly fevered atmosphere..."
Dirty Linen (10-11/99, p.81) - "...[producer, Don DeVito] remastered the tapes to give them an added punch....not without its charms, and certainly worth it just under $10 list price." Hide Description

You don’t hear much good about this album but for me it’s one of Bobby’s best.
The songs are mostly about disappointment and strife in relationships, after his divorce from Sara, not exactly surprising or uplifting, but for me the musical and lyrical phrasing are second to none. This is a very melodic collection with great hooks. ‘New Pony’, trading in for a new model, is a particular favourite with sly/bitter lyrics and no-nonsense, straight through guitar riff. ‘Senor’, do you know where we’re headin’, Lincoln County Road or Armageddon; what a start, and it get’s better. ‘Where are you tonight’, relentless, always a good tactic for Dylan, sucks you in and won’t let you go, great backing vocals too. ‘True love tends to forget’, understated words for universal truths. All the songs are good on this album and a lot of them are great. The musicianship and production are first class though I suspect a little over the top or theatrical for some devotees. Perhaps it’s ‘commercial’; that’s why we don’t hear good about it; not worthy; I don’t know; but I have to say again, for me it’s a great listen even after more than two decades. If you’re a Dylan fan you know all about this work and have your own opinion I’m sure; if you’re not and you’re looking for an excuse to buy it then go right ahead; you can not, will not, be disappointed.

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The cover of PLANET WAVES bears the inscription "cast-iron songs and torch ballads," proving that Dylan was a skilled assessor of his own work. "There are those who worship loneliness/But I'm not one of them," he sings on "Dirge," a disclaimer for the ghostly, pensive atmosphere that pervades much of the album. Though Dylan is backed by members of the Band here, PLANET WAVES has little of the sprawling, tongue-in-cheek weirdness of Band collaborations like THE BASEMENT TAPES. Instead, the mood is serious, intimate, and introspective.
Dylan explores both sides of the romantic coin here. "You Angel You" and "On a Night Like This" (a tune that proved jubilant enough to be covered by Buckwheat ...

After using SLOW TRAIN COMING, SAVED and SHOT OF LOVE as sounding boards for his born-again Christianity, Bob Dylan took a trip to Israel amidst rumors that he was repudiating his new faith and embracing his Judaic roots. Upon returning from his overseas excursion, Dylan went straight into the studio with co-producer Mark Knopfler and emerged with INFIDELS, a record that found the legendary singer-songwriter recording songs that were more of a political ...

Tasteful and bittersweet guitar playing make Steven Palmer’s ‘Morning Road’ glow. Reviewed by Brooke CurtisThe title is apt because, if you’re traveling for an extended period of time, Steven Palmer’s Morning Road is what you want playing in your car. There are miles in Palmer’s voice; you can almost see the scenery that his mind has captured through the decades of his life. I love how the title track recalls Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” at one point. Is it intentional? Perhaps or maybe unconsciously. Nevertheless, it fits the mood and meaning of the song.Palmer is no hotshot acoustic gunslinger; this is a man that, if he had started recording albums such as this early in his life, we might be looking at him differently, such as an icon in his autumn years. Palmer’s songwriting and guitar playing are tasteful and bittersweet; each cut is crafted with feeling and poetic flair. The tropical “A Simple Man Needs a Simple Plan” invigorates with a summer glow while Palmer’s cover of Charles Johnson’s “The Dill Pickled Rag” has some stunningly beautiful crystalline riffs. Lovely.Steven Palmer soothes the ears with folk, blues, and even jazz on ‘Morning Road’ June 20, 2008Reviewed by Kit BurnsYou feel at home listening to the music of Steven Palmer. It has a cozy, soothing quality, like the soundtrack of childhood memories, voices from the past given a ghostly spell from the years gone by. On the opening title cut, Palmer sounds like three of the most popular singer/songwriters of all time - John Denver, Dan ...
