I've always been 50/50 on Dylan. Some of his albums are good, but others just kind of pass me by. I think that part of it is that I've never been too worried about lyrics (with the exception of one or two writers) and that is certainly part of the appeal of Bob for a lot of people.
Musically this one is good though. It bounces around between genres with much more variety than the average Bob album. Some typical harmonica-heavy folk, but also some more 'smooth' moments that (the book suggests) could have been an early influence on Dire Straits. My favourite parts of this one though were where Dylan goes a bit country... suits his voice nicely.
