The disc of live performances of the Time Out of Mind material with a five-piece band is especially good, featuring remarkably clear sound and several knockout performances including a near-acoustic "Tryin' To Get To Heaven" from Birmingham, England, an ardent, previously-released "Make You Feel My Love" from Los Angeles.
For fans of the original album, the three discs of outtakes (one previously released) provide depth and insight and include the near classic "Red River Shore," an unrequited love story unreleased until 2008, and early takes of "Mississippi" which appeared on his next album, Love and Theft. Throughout the new mixes, Dylan's vocals (always a matter of taste) become more prominent. "Make You Feel My Love," for example, becomes a very clean mix of vocals and the powerhouse keyboard duo of Augie Meyers and Jim Dickinson. The often-erratic swirl of instrumentation on the original album-three drummers and two pedal steel guitars playing at once-reorders itself and makes more sense. The most obvious result of the remix is that it becomes even clearer that these melodies, mainstays in his live shows ever since, are truly among his best ever. Brauer that strips out much of Lanois' trademark shimmering production and sonic luster, stripping them back to the kind of mix Dylan supposedly preferred. More than just a collection of outtakes and live performances from that era, this set crucially includes a new 2022 mix by Michael H. Deeper insight into the making of the album is now possible thanks to the five-disc Fragments volume of the always excellent Bootleg Series. Dylan disliked the sound of the final product, ending the partnership with Lanois after two albums. The recording sessions were disorganized, cacophonous events, with conflicts between the artist and producer Daniel Lanois.
The album also marked a return to writing and performing original materia, producing some of the best songs of his later career including "Make You Feel My Love," "Love Sick" and "Tryin' to Get To Heaven."Īs with most Dylan albums-even the masterworks-controversies immediately set in. Critics and fans who'd consigned him to the scrap heap once again were effusive in their astonishment: Maybe Bobby wasn't done after all! Although the lyrics are often bitter and tinged with mortality, the love song melodies on Time Out of Mind are tender and his delivery often more pleading than angry or accusatory. But starting in late 1996, Dylan began writing a record's worth of tunes in his home state of Minnesota that, after an extended recording process in California and Florida, would become Time Out of Mind. In 1995, there was the death of Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia-a "big brother" Dylan would call him in a eulogy he wrote for Rolling Stone. The Don Was-produced Under The Red Sky, Dylan's only collection of new songs in the decade, was met with a collective shrug. In the 1990s, one of America's greatest creative engines was drifting. Call him irrelevant and he'll summon his demons and write another masterpiece. Buy the album Starting at $35.09Ĭomebacks are Bob Dylan's thing.
