Bob Dylan

As teenagers, we used to drive past Bob Dylan’s rural Minnesota country home and marvel at all the security lighting. Why, we wondered, was he so paranoid? Who’d want to bother an old washed-up folksinger? Now, at sixty-five, Dylan is a rock ’n’ roll star reborn, making some of the most vibrant and relevant music of his career, and shedding the recluse act with a never-ending tour, film roles, and a terrific XM Satellite Radio show. Modern Times is his forty-fourth album, and the final installment of the trilogy that began with Time Out of Mind and heralded Dylan’s return to truly inspired songwriting. Mining the same edgy, world-weary, and tender vein as the other two albums, these songs find Dylan engaged with traditional American songwriting, and, as always, unafraid to experiment.
