Negative Positive
Title: Horribly dated, lackluster songs
Review: This was cut in the '80s, and it shows. I cringe every time that synthesizer kicks off "Drifting Too Far From Shore." Most of these songs weren't good to begin with, but the production sinks them completely.There's two exceptions: "Maybe Someday" and "Brownsville Girl." "Maybe Someday" is very '80s, but by '80s pop standards, it's pretty good. It's actually an amusing, sarcastic kiss-off."Brownsville Girl" is one of Dylan's best epics, but if you're a bootleg collector, seek out "New Danville Girl": "Brownsville Girl" basically took that same recording, replaced the vocal track and dumped extra echo, horns and back-up singers on top of it. Still a funny epic, but waaaaaay over-produced; "New Danville Girl" is much better.
