 "'Modern Art' from 2003 is by far the worst album by Tom Russell; well, never mind, there are minor albums in every discography."

 "If two such pieces, undoubtedly very enjoyable, somehow become salient episodes in a Tom Russell album, well, it means that there’s something wrong."

Tom Russell's 2003 album 'Modern Art' is considered his weakest work, lacking the emotional depth and concept strength of previous records. The mix of originals and covers results in uneven quality, with a few standout tracks like 'The Kid From Spavinaw.' Collaborations with artists such as Nanci Griffith fall flat, and some experimental tracks feel tedious. Overall, the album is seen as a minor and inconsistent effort, suitable mostly for dedicated fans. Discover why 'Modern Art' stands out in Tom Russell's catalog—listen and decide for yourself!

 "World Gone Wrong is essentiality made into an album; at first listen, it may sound even too austere: it is a one-man record, just Bob Dylan and his acoustic guitar, nothing else."

 "It is not a masterpiece but holds high value as a historical document, ennobled by the fidelity, and deep respect with which the singer-songwriter approaches a particular type of music."

World Gone Wrong is Bob Dylan's 1993 acoustic album that returns to his musical roots with a raw, traditional folk-blues style.
