Bob Dylan

Empire Burlesque was not a fun listen for me. The songs seemed...okay...I guess, but that slick production hurt. Cut deep into my soul...in a bad way! Bob's voice just doesn't work with it in my opinion.

Next I'll listen to Knocked Out Loaded.

Empire Burlesque was a notoriously bad album. His label wanted to make him more 80's accessible...and a slickly produced Bob Dylan just does not work at all.

Ya it's definitely one to pass on. Of his 80s albums I would recommend shot of love, infidels and mos of all, oh mercy.
