Great album from a purple patch in Dylan's career.

Despite believing in Zimmerman, this is not very good. The violin and back up female singing sounds bad.

Not bad, he doesn't top it for 20+ years... But I find Hurricane isn't the highlight many say it is. It's a little forced.

Hurricane is just the most recognizeable song here. I love the energy, passion, and emotion on this record. As a younger fellow I was into the albums from the 60s, but the mid 70s albums are great too. And while Planet Waves and Street Legal may not be as terrific as this or BOTT I still very much enjoy them. I used to like to play this at full volume while I sat drinking Wild Turkey and smoking cigarttes late at night. It's #2 on my Top 100, which sometimes seems silly to me, but I haven't yet thought of a more appropriate choice.

I listened to this earlier today and find it average. I think I would rate it much higher without the annoying female singers that seem out of tune to me. There's probably a dozen Dylan albums I prefer over this one.
