Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan's first greatest-hits album was released in 1967, and his second in 1971. Twenty-three years later came his third, and it's a reasonable compilation of the better-known songs he produced over the period, notably standards like "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and "Forever Young," Dylan chart hits like "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Hurricane," songs that have been covered extensively by other singers, such as "Ring Them Bells," and some of the better album tracks, such as "Changing of the Guard" and "Brownsville Girl." In an effort to span the period, a few lesser, later songs such as "Silvio" and "Under the Red Sky" are included, while some stronger, earlier songs are not ("Simple Twist of Fate," "Señor," "Emotionally Yours," and "Everything Is Broken"). But on the whole, the selection is excellent, and this is the album to get for that Dylan fan who stopped listening to him at the end of the '60s. This best-of summarizes Bob Dylan’s inexhaustible years between 1973–’89. There are hits, such as the soulful, gospel-charged “Gotta Serve Somebody,” and the stunningly lyrical and wool-sweater warm “Tangled Up in Blue,” as well as clever choices like gospel-rocker “The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar,” and “Silvio,” a glossy R&B popper written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. The rolling, ambient “Series of Dreams” and the open-hearted shuffle-rocker “Dignity” are outtakes from 1989’s Oh Mercy album sessions, two tracks that could’ve been released as singles.
