After spending much of the '90s touring and simply not writing songs, Bob Dylan returned in 1997 with Time Out of Mind, his first collection of new material in seven years. Where Under the Red Sky, his last collection of original compositions, had a casual, tossed-off feel, Time Out of Mind is carefully considered, from the densely detailed songs to the dark, atmospheric production. Sonically, the album is reminiscent of Oh Mercy, the last album Dylan recorded with producer Daniel Lanois, but Time Out of Mind has a grittier foundation -- by and large, the songs are bitter and resigned, and Dylan gives them appropriately anguished performances. Lanois bathes them in hazy, ominous sounds, which may suit the spirit of the lyrics, but are often in opposition to Dylan's performances. Consequently, the album loses a little of its emotional impact, yet the songs themselves are uniformly powerful, adding up to Dylan's best overall collection in years. It's a better, more affecting record than Oh Mercy, not only because the songs have a stronger emotional pull, but because Lanois hasn't sanded away all the grit. As a result, the songs retain their power, leaving Time Out of Mind as one of the rare latter-day Dylan albums that meets his high standards.

Now that The MOG Great 501 is a complete and utter triumph, let's take a look at what the list-crazy folks over at something called, uh, "Time Magazine" have cobbled together: http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/You'll find no Pink Floyd, Queen, Grateful Dead, Doors, Kinks, Curtis Mayfield, Jerry Lee Lewis or Buddy Holly on this list. But don't worry, they did make room for Oasis, Mary J. B...

it's sweeter than my usual favourite kind of love song, but that unique & special Bob Dylan delivery renders it more tender than saccharine. Like a big rough tough guy carrying a kitten around.

It's becoming that time of year again. Snow is melting, days are getting longer, and everything seems more beautiful now that the daylight is lasting just a little longer. If you're like me you spend these days taking walks with friends in the woods, or staring out at the setting sun reflecting on top of the buildings around you and come to one conclusion. Bob Dylan is going to get played tonight.
