Album Notes
Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, 6- & 12-string guitars, guitar, harmonica, piano, organ); Daniel Lanois (guitar, lap steel, dobro, Omnichord); Mason Ruffner, Brian Stoltz, Paul Synegal (guitar); Rockin' Dopsie (accordion); John Hart (saxophone); Malcolm Burn (keyboards, tambourine); Tony Hall, Larry Jolivet (bass); Willie Green, Alton Rubin, Jr. (drums); David Rubin, Jr. (scrub board); Cyril Neville, Daryl Johnson (percussion).The great Zim has been written off many times, and yet he can and will always come back and surprise us with another tremendous album. Much credit is given to producer Daniel Lanois, but don't forget, a producer cannot do much with pencil shavings. Some of Dylan's most cryptic statements are on this album. He was always better as a romantic than as a protest folkie, and the less obscure his lyrics become, the more he opens his heart. Take, for example, the simple "Where Teardrops Fall." Alternatively, the brilliant twist in the tail, "Most Of The Time," is the deepest: `Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine, most of the time.'

Editorial Reviews
Ranked #44 in Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums Of The 80s survey.
Rolling Stone (11/01/1989)

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...OH MERCY put him in the studio with Daniel Lanois, who accordingly delivered his usual sticky-in-the-heat-of-the-night feel, and Dylan did the business with 10 superior songs...

The only Bob Dylan cd in my collection and one of my favourit cds of all time.Daniel Lanois turns these songs on there head and with his production genius makes everyone a true gem.Maybe it helps that Bob went a little nuts during the actual recording.Buy it and play the sh1t out of it
