Tell Me It Isn't True isn't bad. And Country Pie is quite the jam.

Lay Lady Lay is pretty solid. Peggy Day was a decent pop song. I like this from outlaw: It's like he left the fabled resistance and joined the Broadway stage.... hahaha. Hit it on the head.

I Threw It All Away is probably the greatest song you'll ever hear

Dylan's "country" album was not very successful. The songs are still pretty good but Dylan just wasn't cut out for country. This album is widely overrated, I assume by rock critics who don't listen to country.

Dylan pulls off country. A solid, if unspectacular effort.

So this Bob Dylan album begins right away with Johnny Cash on vocals. I don't know if this was to intentionally to make you do a double take, you know "Did I put the right record on?", it is fairly unusual way to begin. Made more stranger by the fact it is 'Girl From The North Country' which, if I am as smart as I think, has already been recorded by Bob. Not the best of starts. Much of the rest of Bob treading water and drifting into dangerous waters. Not that the waters are going to drown Bob. Simply ill advised by me. I mean 'To Be Alone With You' is the sort of thing I don't want to see him do. Record zero substance songs. It's like he left the fabled resistance and joined the Broadway stage. We want our Bob in the circus, it's like he is pandering to the big cats now! But... you know what? Forget all I said. Every last line from your head forget it now. I want to focus on positive Bob, the one who is old enough to be making his own choices. 'Peggy Day' is nice enough rhyme from the back of the 4x4. You don't see him this happy. Nice structure, albeit an abrupt end. 'Lay Lady Lay' got a lot of people wound up but I see a nice tune to hum along and Bob at his poetic game again. 'Country Pie' is a nice little song of our chaps desire for home cooking. Hold on a minute. I'm noticing a pattern here. The word 'nice is coming up an awful lot. Everything just seems so 'nice'. Nothing special. Just nice... This isn't Bob on top form. Not a priority in his past work.

Minor Dylan, although still quite nice, nothing spectacular (same as Desire).

Best track: Lay Lady Lay
