Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan

After several wilderness years of poorly received records, Bob Dylan released his 15th album, Blood On The Tracks, slap bang in the middle of the disco decade, in 1975.
Dylan recorded the Album twice, the first time with Phil Ramone, in New York, and then, after a change of heart about the sound, in Minneapolis with a bunch of session musicians. It's the latter recording that was released and the achieved a glowing critical reception, selling like hotcakes.The tracks are believed to be inspired by Dylans ill fated marriage to Sara Dylan, though he has denied this. Although most of the lyrics revolve around loneliness and heartache, there is a musical jauntiness mixed in with the gloom, especially on Shelter From The Storm, Tangled Up In Blue and Buckets Of Rain. The ubiquitous harmonica is here for sure, but there is also a great bluesy folksy feel and the Album doesn't falter once in it's 10 tracks most of which we'll be playing on Thursday Morning.
