Music reviews of Love & Theft (Hybr)
Music Review: Great SACD from Dylan
Rating: 5 Stars
I must admit that I was not a huge Bob Dylan fan,mainly because I'd never had the time in my hectic past to fit him in to my already crammed music repertoire.I own a lot of music and it was only after upgrading to SACD that I decided to investigate the great mans catalogue by way of the career defining 16 disc SACD box set(a great way to pick up a large slab of his recorded output,you get ALL of the 2003 remastered Hybrid SACD's with original artwork in Digipak format!).Bob Dylan - Limited Edition Catalog Box Set
I've finally reached the end of the box set and found this gem of an album.Phew that's a lot of music to get through.From "The Free Wheelin'..." to "Love And Theft" is quite a listen and as so many reviewers before me have already written,Bob is not what you would call a predictable listen.This album however is definitely a standout for a couple of reasons.
Firstly,like five other titles in the box set,this album is in 5.1 surround sound as well as high def 2.1 stereo SACD and standard CD stereo.The engineers involved in the original recording did the surround mix and have made great use of the technology giving you a sense of being in the middle of the band while the sessions were put down.This recording is a must for anyone who owns an SACD player.Awesome!
Secondly,for someone like myself that does not own every sound the great one has made,it is a good way to bookend the man after hearing him start out with not much more than his voice and an acoustic guitar,then plugging in,going electric,Traveling down "Highway 61" to find "Blood On The Tracks" left by the "Infidels"{for someone who does not really like country music,"Nashville Skyline" was a real challenge}..and ending at the pinnacle of his recent output,"Love And Theft".What a way to finish off such an epic journey!
Finally,about this album,I think it finds Bob,now inducted into the Hall Of Fame,more comfortable with his position in the galaxy of great musicians/songwriters of our time,if not all time.He playfully jumps from style to style right through the album.I never thought I'd hear Bob do lounge music or swing for that matter,but he deftly handles all genres with incredible ease that leaves the listener wondering if there is any style out of range from this great songwriter.I doubt that and honestly believe that he could give any of todays maufactured Idol's a quick left hook and drop them to the musical canvas.To top it all off,the band backing him on this album,which I believe is his current touring outfit,are all great artisans in their own right.Nothing short of total professionalism all the way!
As of this moment I consider myself a Dylan convert.I immediately bought the fantastic Martin Scorsese film's "No Direction Home" and "The Last Waltz".Awesome movies!And Bob's current release "Modern Times".
I believe this album was originaly released on 9/11 2001.I find it quite amazing that,by pure coincidence,I first listened to it on that same day,six years later which compelled me to write this appraisal.
He was always there somewhere in my collection.Bryan Ferry's version of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is one of my faves.And being a huge Beatles/George Harrison fan,I've always owned the Wilbury albums(who could ever forget "Tweeter And The Monkey Man"}and the "Concert For Bangladesh".My other music hero,Sir Elton John,believes Bob to be the best song writer EVER.High praise indeed from rock royalty.The only draw back of the aforementioned box set is it's left out a few albums that I'm now going to have to track down.Looks like Columbia Records will be getting some of my dollars over the next year or two.
Dylan Rules!
