Offical studio album

Christmas in the Heart (2009)

Introductory Remarks

I love this album. It’s a perfect follow-up, not to Dylan’s trilogy of albums vacuum-cleaning the American song tradition for inspiration, but to his Theme Time Radio Hour. (And for the record, my negative evaluation of his latest studio albums does not stem from indignation over ‘theft’, should anyone have gotten that impression, but from a number of lacklustre performances of material of declining quality.)

"Love And Theft" (2001)

Chris Johnson has found numerous text lines from “L&T” in Junichi Saga’s Confessions of a Yakuza

Bob Dylan – the ‘Voice of a Generation’ in the 1960s, the self-appointed gypsy and break-up poet in the 70s, the sulphur-fuming prophet in the years around 1980, who through a series of mediocre albums in the following years lost whatever he may have had left of commercial status – what does he have to say today, forty years after he first entered the stage? Quite a lot, actually.

World Gone Wrong (1993)

Introductory Remarks

Eyolf Østrem

World Gone Wrong (1993) is a body. Not just a great body of work, but a body.

The greatness of this album of folk and blues classics is that there is one voice speaking on it and one person speaking with this voice, whether he speaks guitar, harmonica, or English.

I’ll try to make it a little clearer.
