Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done.

Well maybe not as quite as Burton Cummings(LOL), but you have to admit his voice is gone along with subject matter. I'm sure he does. However I think he has produced a couple of top notch compositions of late. I'm a serious fan but his latest leaves something to be desired imo. I'm interested to know which couple of albums you think were his best of all. Mine are "Oh Mercy" and "Under The Red Sky". I'm impressed that imo, he peaked out that late in his career.

The new album is a good album imho-better than the last couple better than UTRS :-) and better than the weaker output earlier in his career...I would say it's a middling/average record in his total output.

But at this stage in the game imho that is quite an achievement....personally on the live front...Dylan's last visit to Scotland was ignored by me, my first pass in nearly 25 years...I think the quality of his shows are in decline.

Have seen Dylan at his worst which can be just awful. Trust me-do not miss this tour with Knopfler. Dylan croaks thru the songs, but the band is so good that it all works beautifully.

You are absolutely right, Ben. It's my familiarity with those two that caused me to make that statement. I listened to them quite a lot in the 90's.

Gpgr4blu-The tour ended in November. We can only hope he is out again early in the new year.
