Free Music Notes for Blood on the Tracks
Free Music Review: One of Dylan's best
Hit: 5 Stars
This is such a great album. Tangled up in Blue and Shelter from the Storm are Dylan classics for sure, but every song is great!Free Music Review: One of the Best
Hit: 5 Stars
I've heard many Bob Dylan albums and been to dozens of concerts. Blood on the Tracks is one of his best. The variety of his voice and moods is unlike most I've listened to. I have an old 78rpm Blood on the Tracks album that I never listened to, but now I will, to get the feel of those old recordings he made. He is THE BEST.Free Music Review: Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
This would be one of the five albums I would take with me if I was to be deserted on a small island for an extended period of time. I hope there would be electricity!Free Music Review: At long last...
Hit: 5 Stars
I owned an LP copy of this album when it was first released. The music quickly grew on me, and I took the wonderful sound for granted. When I bought the first CD release of "Blood on the Tracks" the sound was so thin and tinny I couldn't listen to it. No longer owning a turntable by that time, I lived without this album for years, and missed it.
Finally, after too long a wait, we have a decent-sounding CD version of this essential Dylan album--two versions, actually, as an SACD Hybrid disc was released first, then this one. I am guessing that this conventional CD issue followed because the record labels have come to believe there is too little interest in the SACD format.
At any rate, both of the current "Blood on the Tracks" CDs sound good. If you do not own an SACD player, the two releases sound alike. Packaging is different for the two versions: the SACD is housed in a glossy paper "Digipak" made to resemble the original LP jacket design; the conventional CD is sold in a standard jewel case.
A word about the sound: this CD release seems a bit light in the bass range compared to my memories of how the LP sounded. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Too many "newly remastered" CDs are bass-heavy to the point of damaging the overall sound. The remastered "Blood on the Tracks" sounds balanced and the bass is present, just slightly less so than I remember. Since everything else sounds right to me, I am not complaining. I should add that I was unable even ONCE to listen all the way through the earliest "Blood on the Tracks" CD. I have played this remastered disc over and over, and have never tired of hearing it.
I have no idea whether or not the SACD Hybrid release of "Blood on the Tracks" will continue to be available, but both versions sound very alike on a standard CD player and this conventional disc is less expensive, so I would give it a high recommendation. If you were unfortunate enough to have owned the earliest CD release of this music, buy this one to cleanse your palate and rediscover one of Bob Dylan's truly fine albums.
Free Music Review: Dylan's Peak
Hit: 5 Stars
Blood on the Tracks is Bob Dylan's artistic peak both lyrically and musically. Blood on the Tracks has aged gracefully. Dylan always gives us a sly wink, but particularly so on the autobiographical-sounding Tangled Up in Blue.
