Empire Burlesque Bob Dylan |

CDs (4)
For Desire Dylan worked with lyricist Jacques Levy. From Hurricane to Sara, Desire is an unique narrative journey. It is distinguished by the prominence of Scarlet Rivera's melancholy violin and Emmylou Harris's bare harmonies. "...most of these ten tracks vibrate with a genuinely spooked vibe which has strong, organic links to Dylan's hobo youth....Dylan proves he can still turn in the best Dylan impersonation around...." (New Musical Express)
The emotion that Dylan conveys in One Too Many Mornings and You're A Big Girl Now is riveting. The other tracks also have merit, including Maggie's Farm in its first of three consecutive appearances on a Dylan live album.
A good portion of Down in the Groove doesn't sound like Dylan because it's not. Only four songs were written or co-written by Dylan. Nevertheless, this album kicks! Silvio and Ugliest Girl are a welcome dose of humor in this dark period of recording for Dylan. |

Bob Dylan
(Tribute) Baez's voice was then and still remains perhaps the singular most beautiful in folk music. That, combined with the unmatched brillance of this century's greatest songwriter, makes this album easily one of the best of that decade or any. Various Artists - Concert for Bangla DeshMASKED AND ANONYMOUS An exhilarating film that explores the Bob Dylan myth.
