Title: Bob Dylan Faces the Past
Review: There is a lot of introspection in the work, surprise, surprise; but its not the Bob Dylan we expect, popping out to chastise us and society as a whole for our shortfalls. Man, there is joy and poking fun here! The tracks are all excellent, Bob Dylan's voice has never been better (I stand against all the NASVILLE SKYLINE proponents), and the sheer depth of the musical presentation is beyond anything he has presented before. I can see his looking back in tracks such as TANGLED UP IN BLUE with a whimsical, almost "did I do that" flair, while sadness within himself shows in SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE. BUCKETS OF RAIN is a fun song- a front porch sing-along kind of thing that endures despite time. I think thats the deal with BLOOD ON THE TRACKS... Time be damned, we all look back, but only Bob Dylan could do it with the style and chagrin we all love, envy and admire. Buy it and protect it children.
