This is a multi-channel hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. By the mid-'70s, even Dylan's most ardent supporters ... Full Descriptionbegan taking his artistic decline for granted. Albums like NEW MORNING and PLANET WAVES were fine works, but lacked the visionary spark of his seminal '60s recordings. 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.
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.
Originally released in 1975, this reissue is a hybrid CD consisting of remastered regular version playable on all players and a super audio CD version for players equipped with the format. 5.1 Surround Sound too! 10 tracks packaged in digipak format. Sony. 2003.
Includes liner notes by Pete Hamill.

What that genius who wrote a bad review about Bob's work ( which by the way spans only 40 years ) is that the members of "Transatlantic" were probably influenced by Dylan's work. Listen sonny, you need to get educated about music .. REAL MUSIC. You'll wake up soon...just like everyone else who didn't like Dylan has. Aside from that, this album is pure genius.

 Jesse In CT Is A Moron -- "Blood On The Tracks" Is Great
"Blood On The Tracks" is among the greatest albums ever made. Nine tracks, and every single one is damn-near perfect. Most were written right after Dylan had separated from his wife; the artist bares his soul in a way no one had done before, and no one's come close since. The "reviewer" in Connecticut is a complete idiot; this album is desert island material. I'm on my third copy, and if a higher-quality version than SACD ever appears, I'll be buying a fourth.

If there was a crown for the most overrated musician of ALL TIME, Bob Dylan would surely wear it. This man's pathetic guitar talents and horrible, HORRIBLE vocal abilities... oh yeah, and terrible lyrics, are ridiculous. If you like Bob Dylan, then you must not know much about real music. Either that, or you like him because it's 'cool' to like him. Go check out a band called TRANSATLANTIC. Every member of that band is about 1 million times more talented than Bob Dylan can ever dream to be. Plus the lyrics aren't terrible, and the music is phenomenal. 0 stars for anything Dylan has ever done.

Howls of rage greeted Bob Dylan as he presented the world with rock music--he was roundly booed at both the Newport Folk Festival and the Royal Albert Hall. Yet here is one of those moments of cross-influence that changed the course of popular music. BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME gave Dylan an audience on a plate; it was a massive breakthrough. An album ...

DESIRE was the studio realization of the Rolling Thunder revue's sound. The musicians involved in this mid-'70s Dylan project were more than a backup band; they forged a distinctive musical vision, loose and swirling, the perfect aural equivalent of the traveling gypsy/carnival image they affected onstage. Drummer Howie Wyeth, who possessed an uncannily sympathetic ear for accompanying singer-songwriters, and violinist Scarlet Rivera, built their careers on the ...
