Not my favorite Dylan album, but every once in a while I'll pull it out just to make sure it's not growing on me.
The new version of "Girl From the North Country" is terrible (in my opinion) even with the guest vocals of Johnny Cash.
The album really doesn't get good til...well, it really doesn't get that good. "Lay, Lady, Lay" is so pretentious that it seems out of the ordinary for a Bob Dylan song. In fact, the whole album feels unnatural. It sounds like one of the albums that you make for fun, but never to release. I'm sure there are fans of the album, and while I respect their opinion, I have trouble getting behind this release.
Skip It
