Title: It's the Music
Review: I liked this album. I'm not sure what any of it is about, but I liked it. When I think of Dylan, I think of him as a song writer/story teller: The Hurricane, Joey, Masters of War, Times They Are a Changing, etc. I know what those songs are about. The lyrics are compelling. Most of the time on this album I can't really make out what Dylan is singing about, or at a minimum I'm not compelled to listen. But... it still sounds good. Dylan has become primarily a great roots rock musician, and this album is filled with bluesy, jazzy tunes that are simply fun to listen to. It's worth buying the version with the bonus CD because then you've also got right there the evidence of what he used to be able to do.
