Title: The key word is "Dylan"
Review: Okay, this isn't "Highway 61 Revisted," "Blood on the Tracks" or "Time Out of Mind." But it isn't "Down in the Groove" either. And afterall, it is Bob Dylan. That's worth three stars right there!The biggest problem with this CD is that it lacks consistency. It's as though Dylan recorded these tracks over a very long period of time and was never able to develop a unifying theme. And if some of these songs ("Precious Memories" & "Under Your Spell") were to drift away and never be heard from again, it would be no great loss to the Dylan catalogue.On the other hand, some of the moments on this album are wonderful. "Brownsville Girl" is obvious, but I also really like the powerful "You Wanna Ramble" (a great song to play on the road), "They Killed Him" and "Got My Mind Made Up."Not great Dylan, but not bad Dylan. And the key word, of course, IS "Dylan."
