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 Zydeco) are upbeat paeans to being in love. The aforementioned "Dirge" brings us into the belly of the beast, as Dylan faces up to his loneliness and pain with customary aplomb: "I paid the price of solitude/But at least I'm out of debt." Throughout, the Band supply verve and poignancy as required. Dusky gems like the solo acoustic ballad "Wedding Song," where the singer proudly opens his heart over a haunting minor-key melody, and the platitude-heavy "Forever Young" add to this fine, often-overlooked album from Dylan's early-'70s period.



Recorded at the Village Recorder, West Los Angeles, California on November 5, 6 & 9, 1973. Includes liner notes by Bob Dylan.

Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Robbie Robertson (guitar); Richard Manuel (piano, drums); Garth Hudson (organ); Rick Danko (bass); Levon Helm (drums).

Mojo (Publisher) (10/03, p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[The] digital resurrection shines new light on The Band's talent for making their music fizz with ideas, and thereby accords the album a rollicking, loose-ended kind of vigour..."

Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars Deserves Attention
Full on participation with the Band this is the album that everyone loved on the first listen. You angel you and on a night like this are positively upbeat - Going, Going Gone shines and I don't think he has ever written a better song than forever young (music and lyrics combineed) all right that's a gutsy statement for Dylan Mr. Lyrics but his voice can leave the uninitiated running for cover but not on this album. The two versions of forever Young closed side one of the LP and opened side two in a different arrangement. Wedding Song is a classic Dylan spittin' out the truth soul bared ordeal and Dirge would have fit nicely on Blood on the Tracks. He nails it folks front to back one of my all time favorite albums ever!

4 stars Surprising Good Album
This surprisingly good album was something of a comeback for Bob Dylan in 1974, culminating in a #1 spot at the charts and a record-breaking tour which is captured on Before the Flood (also in '74). This is, amazingly, the only album to feature both Dylan and The Band together. The chemistry works, and it feels like a meeting of equals -- The Band was already a great success by then. Planet Waves was the first album in four years (not counting the Pat Garrett soundtrack), and is a very modern-sounding '70s rock album. Definitely not the "typical" Dylan sound (almost sounds like Wings), but its unique feel is a strength, and certainly far better than everything after 1976. Of course, this album is best as a precursor to Dylan's crowning achievement the next year. Good stuff.
