Title: Dylan's Love Letter To The South
Review: I'm a big fan of Dylan as a performer, songwriter and musician. The production on this record is the best he's ever had (by conincidence, he twisted the knobs on this one). You have to lean in to listen to what's going on. The narratives go from external, describing something to the internal. One of the things Dylan has always done best is crib lines from old blues and hillbilly and British Isles tunes and illuminate them in a different context. The themes of this CD are regret, forgiveness all filtered through Dylan's interpretations of various native Southern musics without being hokey, obvious or lame.
