Title: Oh Bob???
Review: Sometimes one wonders why Dylan can't be just a little more selective (okay, a lot more selective) with his recorded material. If he were, "Down In The Groove" could have been prevented. If there's anything good that came out of this recording, it's that it amplifies what Dylan can do when he's on his game (as he was with the following "Oh Mercy"). A good portion of "Down in the Groove" doesn't sound like Dylan because it's not. Only four songs were written or co-written by Dylan. Since his songwriting is one of his strengths; that's a shame. Instead, we're treated to mostly nasal covers of folk and gospel. Skip this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
