vinyl master of Together Through Life is not only a super album, but one of the best sounding digital rocknroll recordings I've heard yet ... haven't checked out the CD yet, but a cursory glance at the tracklisting (different) and sonic waveforms (real different) has got my attention to be sure ... Flowering Toilet: Bob Dylan - Together Through Life

Indeed.
"Ain't Talkin'" is springloaded with all kinds of mystical gems and "When the Deal Goes Down" almost brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it. I even felt it was better than "Love and Theft" in some respects. "Together Through Life" has been a tough one to sit and listen to. I just can't seem to devote much time to it and when I do, I feel like I'm straining to enjoy it. "Forgetful Heart" was a great track though, and "Beyond Here Lies Nothing" almost sounds like Dylan and John Mayall got together. I was really hoping that the new album would be a continuation of what he did with songs like "Ain't Talkin'", and every review I read definitely suggested that it was. But it turned out to be quite a departure from what I was hoping for. But fans have been saying that about Dylan since 1966. lol. |

Listening to Dylan play his newer stuff live, is like trying to overhear an argument between the couple next door. You can hear muffled ranting, but can't quite get the gist of what's actually going on.
