Album Notes & Community Reviews
Shedding the sparse intimacy of his mid-70s masterpieces, Bob Dylan embraced a remarkably dense, brass-and-choir-heavy production aesthetic on 'Street-Legal'. The album captures him at a transitional crossroads, delivering fiercely energetic, profoundly poetic roots rock infused with apocalyptic romanticism and stirring gospel undertones.
