Another Side of Bob Dylan
The only thing wrong with this album is its title. This isn’t `another’ side of Bob Dylan; it is Several sides of Bob Dylan. This one has love songs (for and against love), it has comic cuts, and it has tracks where the wordsmith delves into the listener’s emotional core. This is not an album with a theme; it is a collection of brilliant sketches from the far-flung corners of human experience. Even the random nature of these tracks reflected the age in which they were made and the listener finds himself embracing that randomness. Being the most random of his albums (during this period), you would think that this would be the one Dylan album that would fail to stand up to the test of time, but it works in the 21st century even as it did in the 1960′s. This is yet another Dylan masterpiece.
