Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece?


Upon my initial listening I feel it is safe to declare this new offering from Bob Dylan a masterpiece. Very comforting to know America's true folk treasure is still on top of his game.

I, personally, would certainly include JWH among his masterpieces. A qualified masterpiece, though, because the last track, "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" sounds SO out of place on this album. It's a good song, but it always sounded to me like it didn't belong there, especially as the album closer.

"New Morning" - A very good album.

In my opinion, "Planet Waves" approaches masterpiece territory but this opinion is shared by almost nobody. I'm not sure why I like it so much.

Cheers.

P.S. I haven't heard "Modern Times" yet. Hopefully soon...
Tfkaudio yes it was I bought it on vinyl at the time.
Should be pretty easy to pick up-it's 5 albums worth.

Dreadhead I am really quite familar with New Morning but I will get it another spin sometime soon.
Cheers.
Ben_Campbell,
Some research leads me to believe that BS 1-3 was only released on vinyl in the UK. You are in the UK, correct? It appears to be quite collectable. A sealed copy sold for $250 on music-stack recently.
If you come across one, let me know.

Cheers.


Tfk-yup I am indeed in the UK.

I didn't realise it was a UK only release.
$250 I suppose is expensive but surely decent 2nd hand copies are about?
