Free Music Review: Take It For What It 5 Stars
I've been looking forward to this album since I first heard about it a few months ago. Of all current and past vocal artists, I cant think of anyone better suited than Bryan Ferry for this arduous undertaking. How DO you interpret the career work of Bob Dylan? Think about it for a second. You can take a famous Dylan song and make it your own like, for example, Jimi Hendrix and Guns & Roses. These interpretations are outstanding, but bear little resemblance to the original Dylan songs. Or, do you try to stay true to the original recordings and imitate a voice and sound that is so incredibly unique? This approach often results a musical caricature of the original. In fairness, some artists such as the Byrds and Joan Baez have copied Dylan successfully, but only with "older" Dylan songs. Let's give Bryan Ferry his due credit. He covers a wide range of Dylan songs and he does not overplay or underplay his role in these songs. Does he respect the original recording?....absolutely. The music of Bob Dylan, along with the Beatles of course, will be eternal much like Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. Just like there are many interpretations of the work of these creative geniuses over the years, Bryan Ferry is the first (and the best) in this early effort to interpret the great Bob Dylan. It is not the original songs, but it is not supposed to be. But it is, without question, a great contribution to music at a time when musical creativity is sorely lacking. Take it for what it is.....!Dylanesque Poster

Long a Bob Dylan fan, Bryan Ferry remade "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" for his 1973 self-titled album of covers. This time around, the celebrated Roxy Music leader turns in Dylanesque, recasting 11 Dylan classics during a single live-in-the-studio week that leaves the album sounding vibrantly faithful to the original numbers. Far be it for the imaginative contrarian to retrace Dylan's steps, and sure enough--despite an omnipresent harmonica--Ferry does just the opposite. The raw rocker "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" becomes a seductive British pop song, while despair and loneliness turn into effervescence for the driving "Simple Twist of Fate." Ferry's ageless tenor injects a modern momentum into early Dylan imprints "Positively 4th Street" (with strings!), "All I Really Want to Do," and "The Times They Are A-Changing," and gloriously respects the more recent "Make You Feel My Love" (from 1997's Time out of Mind). But the best is yet to come, as the oft-covered "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" may never have received better treatment and "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" loses not a beat of its original knock-down luster. The record closes with "All Along the Watchtower," a twin tribute to Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, the visionary for this adaptation. --Scott Holter
