Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Tempest' finds Bob Dylan in a dark, storytelling mode, weaving violent and historical narratives over blues, folk, and swing arrangements. His voice is weathered and gravelly, adding weight to tales of the Titanic and John Lennon's murder. It is a late-career highlight that showcases his enduring lyrical sharpness and musical adaptability.
