At a time when he could have been winding down his career,
Bob Dylan came up with
the Time Out of Mind album, which was as vibrant as anything he had done up to that point.. While a few offerings may get your feet tapping, most of the tunes are full of Dylan mainstays like regret, sorrow and the inevitable approach of death. Each Dylan tune is like a personal story told to a lifelong friend, and he is one of the few artists whose lyrics are actually worth listening to. For anyone interested in understanding how we are all burdened by the past, listen to this disc immediately. Dylan's war wounds are well-earned and he commands our attention with every note.
