Who says 68 is too old for a number one album? Together Through Life is Bob Dylan’s 33rd studio album, and it’s filled with nice surprises. For the first time since his 1976 album Desire, Dylan works with a co-lyricist in Robert Hunter, who is best known for his work with the Grateful Dead. He utilizes Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on guitar, along with David Hidalgo from Los Lobos, who adds some really beautiful accordion playing. Dylan’s voice is deep and rusty and he sounds like he knows things you will never imagine…which he probably does. Also included is a reworked Willie Dixon song (“My Wife’s Home Town”), and some terrific sounding blues numbers. The band itself makes this worth hearing.
Of course, Dylan has long ago run out of hit songs, and you won’t find one here. It’s okay…I doubt he was really looking for that. Dylan as a producer (Jack Frost is one of his pseudonyms) works very nicely. “Beyond Here Lies Nothin’” is a fine opener and sets the pace, while tracks like “I Feel A Change Comin’ On” showcases Campbell and Hidalgo intertwining guitar and accordion. This album did debut at number one on the charts not just in America, but also in Britain. For good reason. This may not be the Dylan of the sixties and seventies, but it’s proof that you don’t sleep on this guy. Together Through Life is not perfect, but that’s also part of its charm. It’s a fine record by maybe the greatest songwriter of his generation, and we could all stand to take a listen and maybe learn something from one of the true masters.
