Rough and rowdy ways is as good as anything Dylan has ever released.

I loved Tempest, but Murder Most Foul takes commemorative song-writing to a level it has never seen before. I Contain Multitudes is ballsy as fuck, and Goodbye Jimmy Reed just rocks. No idea if it’s an unpopular opinion. #Dylan

    110% agree!
    And it sounds great. I saw Bob a couple years ago in concert (probably for the last time) and while I enjoyed the concert, the sound was mostly crap. Overly loud, every instrument mixed to the same level, muddy, no ambiance. Likely a consequence of having to play large venues.

    Poor Dylan’s voice was mostly drowned out on the louder songs, but at least we could tell no auto-tune was used and he wasn’t lip syncing.

    Anyway, hearing the RARW songs live really made me appreciate the sound of the CD.

      I saw him in Oslo a few years ago and the sound was actually pretty good. Maybe he had a good day, maybe it was because it was a smaller venue. Seeing him again in Copenhagen this October - crossing my fingers it’ll be good.

        I think there are variables in venues based on seating, too. What might sound good in one spot might sound off in another. Smaller venues tend to do better. My problem with the show I saw was the mix of the sound overall, I think.
