This is Bob Dylan's 32nd album. I have heard some good songs from him in the 60's and 70's but I think most of he's music is really overrated. This album went straight to nr.1 in many countries and has sold over 4 million copies. Talk about living on the past! There has been some dabate about the songs on the album because in almost all songs there are parts of other artists songs and lyrics which Dylan has rearranged and made he's own.

Tony Garnier on bass has played with Dylan since 1989 and has recorded with Tom Waits, Paul Simon and more. Denny Freeman has worked with Stevie Ray Vaughan, James Cotton, Taj Mahal, Percy Sledge among others. He has also released 5 soloalbums with instumental music.

1)Thunder on the mountain (6,0) Uptempo countrylike tune with Bob singing too much and the same tempo continues all through the song. The song sound like The Band.

2)Spirit on the water (5,0) A jazzy mellow song that suits Bob's dark and low singing but it goes on and on for 7 minutes, why? This song would have suited Chris Rea.

3)Rollin' and tumblin' (5,5) Have heard many better versions of this blues standard. Uptempo and nice guitarriff but not much happens.

4)When the deal goes down (4.0) Another boring slow tune.

5)Someday baby (6,0) Uptempo and bluesy. A little better.

6)Workingman's blues (7,0) A nice kind-of a ballad with good singing and good melody.

7)Beyond the horizon (3,5) Jazzy slow tune. Boring.

8)Nettie Moore (6,5) A good Dire Straits-like song. Very simple and low-key.

9)The levee's gonna break (5,5) Uptempo and bluesy and again it just goes on and on and on... I just don't get it.

10)Ain't talking (7,5) 8 minute ending to the album and it's a good acoustic song with very nice celloplaying!

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
