Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways

I prefer his drug fueled trilogy over his scripture fueled trilogy. But my favorite trilogy is the one with Modern Times. 

..."these pretzels are making me thirsty!"......

I've been listening to this album for a couple of weeks on Tidal and have gone to not liking it that much to liking it a lot.  The vinyl just came out today so I bought it.  Special gold vinyl indie store exclusive at that.  I'm excited to sit down with it tonight.  
As for his voice, he has more character in his voice than almost any other singer out there.  Some records are much more listenable to me than others.  Ironically, his late-career records are some of my favorites.

'Ironically, his late-career records are some of my favorites.'




Love and Theft                 2001
Tempest                            2012
Rough and Rowdy Ways 2020

In my opinion these 3 are amongst his best ever studio albums. The only career hiatus I think was that decade between Street Legal (78) and Oh Mercy (89). 

Springsteen, once again is the only other artist that springs to mind as a comparison for both quality and longevity. 

Quite unusual really, as most of his rivals tended to barely have a golden creative period for a decade at best.

Somehow, despite everything, Dylan's defied the odds. Only he may know how.

I don't have Tempest.  I will check that one out.

Time Out Of Mind is also very high on my list.
