Reviews
"...Gritty and Immediate...", "...The most striking thing about the album is Bob's singing, which possesses a ragged, almost sinister authority...but on the old-tyme numbers becomes a nonchalant croon...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...A Very Good Album...", "Songs like 'Honest With Me' and the fascinating shifting pace of 'Cry a While' show that not only does Dylan have a lot of life left in him and his music, but that he’s still releasing some of his best music.", Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2001"., 5 stars out of 5 - "...A stone-cold Dylan classic... Talk about bringing it all back home: Dylan veers into country, ragtime, vaudeville, deep blues, cocktail-lounge corn, the minstrel show and the kind of rockabilly he must have bashed out with his high school band more than forty years ago...", Ranked #4 in Spin's "Albums of the Year 2001"., 9 out of 10 - "...Astonishing...It is the rare Dylan album recorded with his touring band, and the versatility and sympathy of this outfit...lets them stand proudly next to The Band as his finest accompanists..."", Ranked #6 "Album of the Year" in Ew's "Best of 2001"., Ranked #15 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "His surreal verbal collages borrowed imagery from vintage bluesmen and obscure novelists...", Ranked #1 in Rolling Stone's "Top 10 2001"., Ranked #2 in Mojo's "Best 40 Albums of 2001".
