Music Review: Dylan's Rough and Rowdy Ways

It's more of an album of Bob Dylan reciting his poetry over background music than anything else.  But is it any good?  Yeah, it's good.  I mean, the guy's lyrics have always skirted the line with poetry and he's got a Nobel Prize in literature, richly deserved too.  But can you dance to it?  Most of it, not really.  One tune, False Prophet, has a pretty good swagger about it.  You could probably manage some kind of shuffle dance to that one, but it's more suited to walking over to the bar for another drink.  The rest though, it's mostly poetry recited over background music.

It's good stuff, if not precisely music.  Know before you buy a ticket to take this trip.
