Bob Dylan: Modern Times

Postman Pat came through this lunchtime with the package: Bob Dylan, Modern Times. So. . . how is it? Based on several listens, it's much, much better than "Love & Theft". Modern Times has a lot stronger set of songs and musical arrangements to match. In a word: TheLevee'sGonnaBreak.

Elsewhere, Bob on Bob, Dylan talks -- by the worthwhile Louis Menand: The New Yorker
Free bonus, The Crackin’, Shakin’, Breakin’ Sounds, profile of Dylan (1964) -- by Nat Hentoff: The New Yorker

I don't know, I keep listening and I remain underwhelmed. I'm beginning to think I must be a bit dull.
