"This album and it's companion piece, world gone wrong, are possibly the two most underrated albums of Bob Dylan's recording career. This album especially, is a great folk record. It's Dylan's first all acoustic album for 28 years, and Bob's guitar playing here is a lot better than it was on that ..."  [+]  Reply

"Amazing how they play sax and trumpets as it would be guitars. Listen to the final part of Now That You've Gone - it's arranged almost like Led Zeppelin. But there's trumpets instead of guitar :)"  Reply
