"The ten songs are reduced to the essence of their storytelling form."

More Bob Dylan More Bob Dylan

Dylan has recorded many covers over the years but never has he arranged and performed them with such reverence and austere beauty as he does here.

Produced by Dylan under his pseudonym Jack Frost and recorded live, no overdubs, the ten songs are reduced to the essence of their storytelling form. Dylan’s voice is the focal point and it’s never sounded this intimate and richly toned, digging deep into the emotional core of the songs, investing a lifetime of musical exploration in each line and phrase while the band gently breaks hearts in the background.
