Blood On The Tracks is quite possibly Dylan's greatest album ever. Of course, the same thing could be said for Blonde On Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited, Love And Theft, Bringing It All Back Home, or The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. But unlike any of Dylan's other works, Blood On The Tracks shows us the artist at his most vulnerable, pouring out words that most mortals would never dare to speak, even if they could figure out how to say them.
The title says as much about the album as anything. There is BLOOD on them there tracks! These words are the blood, the force that keeps the poet alive, poured directly from his heart and onto the tracks of a recording. What more can be said??
Every track is a standout. There are no "best songs" or "worst songs" on this album. Each and every song is a masterpiece in and of itself. Highlights? Every song is a highlight. Every syllable uttered is a highlight. Every note strummed is a highlight. It doesn't get any more pure than this...

I'm a huge Dylan fan, I've watched everything from Don't Look Back to Eat The Document, even Renaldo and Clara. When I saw this come out, I naturally bought it. I found it boring and unnecessary. Micky Hart is about as entertaining as Ed McMahon in his na

Album Review for Bob Dylan - Another Side of Bob Dylan
This set definitely does highlight another side of Bob Dylan. Though this album isn't as thematically strong as the Freewheelin Bob Dylan or The Times They Are A-Changin', this is a good set of tunes.

Album Review for Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
Bob Dylan's first compilation is some of Dylan's finest, and possibly the only thing a casual listener might need. It doesn't have the depth that another release might have, but it satisfies.
