The sound a bit dirty, the voice even hoarser, the years many, the genius the same.

It's Dylan 2009 version, who elevates his own myth and delivers a series of beautiful songs, who returns to the most authentic blues, if he ever left it, who returns to the sweet ballads, who returns to the tex-mex sound that intrigues him so much, in short, there's the full display of his incredible history.

I leave to more competent reviewers the task of thoroughly examining this album, and I am sure they won't be delayed. Perhaps I should have made a simple post to a review that isn't out yet, but I urgently wanted to pay tribute to the artist and offer a testimony of unconditional respect to a man who has changed us all a bit.

Thank you, Bob

 There is a heart that pulses, beats, behind songs that are decidedly less weary compared to the usual expressive spectrum.

 If he then comes out with his best work since 'Time Out Of Mind', there’s also (definitely) reason to rejoice.

 Despite the terrible title... this work is really excellent.

 'Shake Shake Mama' is the best on the album. When Bob sings that phrase... it’s Oscar-worthy.

 Dylan always manages to surprise us, producing... one work more interesting and more genuinely beautiful than the last.

 There is the people, there is America, and there is Love in the words and in the music (and in the voice) of this gigantic genius of the 20th century.
