Dylan's "Tempest" Dylan haters need not reply

Toddnkaya, I agree I really like Modern Times, especially Nettie Moore

Its high on list to get. I really like mkst all of dylans more recent albums starting with time out of mind. Dylan actually managed to peak again in his later years and stay innovative not to mention the fantastic band.

I really wanted to like this album more than I actually do. I'm finding his old timey thing sort of tiring these days and the album as a whole seems very forgettable and ordinary. His voice has become cartoony, some of which feels intentional. Having said all of that, it still has a lure to me simply because it's Bob Dylan. There is a nostalgia for me in his work, I think because he has been an important voice in my head since I was young. A consistent, steady stream of words and sounds that always felt more than human. It's a hard thing to articulate but his sound touches me in a unique way and that still does exist.

His later albums have grown on my over time although none really are things I go to often. I do hope I find more in Tempest with some play's but for now, for me, it's just OK.

I feel much like Richard about Dylan.

Dylan started the next leg of his tour last evening and played one from Tempest, Scarlet Town.
