Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing Dylan's massive, highly anticipated return to touring after an eight-year hiatus, backed by his legendary former backing group. The performances are characterized by an almost shockingly aggressive, shouted vocal delivery and intensely muscular, fast-paced arrangements that radically reinterpreted his classic acoustic catalog.

Genres

Descriptors: Folk, live, high-energy, guitar-driven, confessional
