Title: Dylan's Darkhorse
Product review: Move over Blonde On Blonde and Bringing It All Back Home. Self-Portrait is a gem of self-indulgence, an icon-smashing downhome perversely honest take of Dylan and not-Dylan tunes that are individually more endurable than some of the so-called "immortal" Dylan classics ("Rainy Day Women" and "Times Are A Changing"--ugh!). "Gotta Travel On" is pure Dylan-roots and he pulls off a smooth, masterful rendention of tjhis old American faithful. And not even Gordon Lightfoot does a better version of "Early Morning Rain." The recording quality of of this CD is superb and does what Dylan does best--stun his expectant fans and shatter their own self-indulgent Dylanesque-illusions! Disregard the negative reviews--run out and buy this CD.
