This is in my opinion the most powerful song on Blood on the Tracks. Dylan delivers the vocals angerly, spitting them out with raw emotion. At the beginning of the song he makes it seem that the story he is talkin about, that includes murder and betrayal among other things, to be false. But as the song goes on the lyrics seem to hint that they are about him and his wife.
One particular clue is his use of pronouns. At the beginning of the song in the chorus the narrator say that You're an Idiot Babe, but in the last verse it is changed to Were Idiots.
Such a song indicated dylan was wearing his emotions on his sleave at the time he was writing these songs and its a cool experience to listen to them

Quite Simply In my opinion Dylan is the best artist the history of music. His career is long, steady, and covers varied genres. He is the best lyricist of our time. He also was very influential. At the beginning of his career, he was a folky writing stories of the times. Many of these songs were protest songs and still remain legendary and valid today, such as The Times They are A-Changin. He would then shock the music community and turn electric. The 3 Electric albums he released were both shocking and brilliant. After that he endured a motorcycle accident and switched his style to more of a country twinge. However just when he was being written off he came up with his greatest album to date, Blood on the Tracks. Many people believe the seperation with his wife inspired the lyrics to the album, but nonetheless it's an incredible album. Soon after he would become a born-again christain which inspired a couple not so incredible albums. After some ups and downs in the 80s he would later release 2 critically acclaimed albums and continues to tour today.
In the aftermath of all this he is widely looked down as the shakespeare of our time. He might not be the beatles, but he sure is better.

This album is exactly the type of album that america needed. Many of the songs are written in the aftermath of 9-11. The song lyrics are filled with hope, despair, and stories of times that trouble. One particular theme is to overcome.
The Revival of the E Street band itself is very evident. Theres plenty of Clarence Clemons in this album, it also feels like an E Street effort. This is one of Springsteens Strongest albums and will be looked upon as an important album in the post 9-11 era.

This is Easily Dylans Deepest Album. The Sound covers all sorts of territories. The lyrics are just as good as any of his other albums and are filled with deep imagery that has never been seen before. His backup band plays tightly in arrangements that nicely fit the songs feel. The overall sound is bassicaly an expansion off of Highway 61's sound, the only difference is that the sound is more textured and slightly less rocking then on Highway. Overall this is a perfect album.

This is Dylans Strongest Album in almost every way. It leads of with arguably his most well-known song besides like a rolling stone, Tangled Up in Blue. After that we begin to hear a couple songs that are presumeably about his divorce with his wife. The first one, Simple Twist of Fate is brilliant, very sorrowful and delivered with passion by Dylan. Your a Big Girl Now is a bit of a mystery to me. Musicaly it has some evident spanish themes in the guitar, and lyrically it is most likely about his ex-wife in some way but I can't tell. Idiot Wind is the most powerful song on the album. It's Dylan at his angriest and most bitter. He spits out the lyrics with anger. A little later on in the album Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts is one of the most unique story songs ever written, unlike anything I have ever heard. If You See Her, Say Hello is one of Dylans most passionat, heartfelt songs, where he describes not bing able to get over his seperation with his wife. So clearly this is a record for the ages.
