Title: Bad Country
Product review: Of all the bad albums a consumer can find, there is not a more dismal or disappointing buying experience than wasting 15 bucks on a bad country album. Bad rock n' roll can sometimes be deceptively passed as "alternative", bad jazz as "avant garde", etc... Though consistantly hailed by critics alongside Dylan's landmark electric-era albums, ("Blonde...", "Highway...", "Bringing...") "John Wesley Harding" is one such country album. With the exception of the historic "All Along the Watchtower" and the quaint piano of "Dear Landlord", it is a supreme failure. All of the critic-speak in the world about how John Wesley H. is his "sleeper album" and that it's "deliberately understated" cannot hide the fact that the songs are simply uninspired and monotonous. Add to the mix Dylan's forced twang (which improved with practice on "Skyline") and a band that shuffles through the tunes like a bunch of Nashville geezers, and you have the recipe for... yep, you guessed it,...
