The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 1. “Love and Theft”
Time Out of Mind is generally considered to be Bob Dylan’s major comeback statement after a decade of what some might call stale material. ”Love and Theft” by contrast is the masterpiece of latter-day Bob Dylan. On its own merits, … Continue reading
The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 2. “Desire”
Desire is perhaps Bob Dylan’s most “worldly” album. Part of Desire’s charm and wild character comes from the help of Jacques Levy who co-wrote eight of the nine songs on Desire with Dylan. It’s a messy, ramshackle affair filled with Middle-Eastern … Continue reading
The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 3. “Modern Times”
Both Time Out of Mind and “Love and Theft” found Bob Dylan looking to the American musical past in a way that he hadn’t in years. Time Out of Mind was mostly blues-based, and “Love and Theft” covered blues and … Continue reading
Quick Update
Sorry I haven’t finished my final three posts on The Best Post Blood on The Tracks albums. It’s been a busy few days. Hopefully, I should finish them sometime this weekend.
The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 4. Infidels
I recently read Bob Dylan considered Elvis Costello, David Bowie and Frank Zappa to help produce Infidels. Costello would be the most interesting to see at the helm – he might have given Infidels a more folk-style approach. As such, … Continue reading

The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 5. Time Out Of Mind
Song for song, Time Out of Mind should probably be higher on this list. But it’s one of the few Dylan albums where the songs really come to live better in the live arrangements, mostly due to Daniel Lanois’ production. … Continue reading
The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 6. Oh Mercy
Twenty 22 years after its initial release, it’s hard view Oh Mercy as the “comeback” album that critics suggested upon its initial release. It’s certainly Dylan’s most consistent album of the 1980s, thanks in large part to the production and … Continue reading
The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 7. “Street Legal”
After the masterpieces of Blood on the Tracks and Desire, it seems inevitable that Dylan’s follow-up would dip slightly in quality. Blood on the Tracks was a naked emotional affair, and Desire was a wild, gypsy sounding outing – the … Continue reading

The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 8. “Together Through Life”
Together Through Life ranks as one of Dylan’s most fun albums. Gone are the dark observations of Modern Times, and the travelogues of Americana on “Love an Theft”. There are no major statements, it’s just the sound of Dylan and … Continue reading
The Top 10 Post “Blood on the Tracks” Bob Dylan Albums: 9. “Empire Burlesque”
Empire Burlesque is one of the stranger albums in Dylan’s career. It’s full of some great songs, but it’s hard to listen to because of the glossy production. It’s clearly the product of its time, cementing it to the mid-1980s. … Continue reading
