NEW VINYL LP ON SONY VINYL 2017

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

Bob Dylan’s career has always been about defying expectations. Accordingly he followed 1997’s much-heralded TIME OUT OF MIND with a marked about-face. Where its predecessor was a bleak emotional landscape full of languid atmospheres, existential sentiments, and graveyard vocal delivery, LOVE AND THEFT finds Dylan much more energized and hopeful. Instead of swamp-like textures, we get sharp, cracking bar-band blues, and lissome ballads with a ’20s/’30s feel. The old codger has never sounded more spry; after observing that “summer days and summer nights are gone,” he follows up with “I know a place where there’s still something going on.” Elsewhere he’s variously hunting bear, standing on a table to make a toast, burning down a house, and starting a new empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan
