I'm loving Slow Train Coming on vinyl. It's always been one of my favorites. Mark Knopfler's guitar work is a treat, and the songs are great. I know for some it was a turn off because of the born again phase, but if you can put that aside you cannot deny the brilliance of this record.
Right, @offnon57?! I think of "Love And Theft" as one of Bob's (it's okay, we're on a first name basis ;-) "recent" albums. That's being old. I too dig the swing in that album, and I don't know who to credit for it---him, his band on the album? It don't matter, I love it.
He has sooooo much OUTSTANDING music out there. Not sure there can be a wrong answer. My wife got real sick of listening to him when we were going out. Now after all these years, She still doesn't like him but tolerates me nonetheless.
I saw Dylan at Music Hall in Cincinnati in 1981 shortly after the Slow Train release. I believe he only played four cuts from the album. That was easily one of the best shows I’d ever seen. Canned Heat, CS&Y and Dead shows are some others. As for his records, I like ’Another Side of Bob Dylan’ and ’Blood on the Tracks’ the most.
