180 Gram Vinyl! Features "If Not For You", "One More Weekend" & More!!
Bob Dylan is one of the most important singer-songwriters of the era of recorded, commercially available music. His lyrics are a yardstick against which aspiring young singer-songwriters measure themselves. He broke seemingly unbreakable rules, and he did so with stalwart passion and uncompromising honesty.
Shortly after the controversial album, Self Portrait, Dylan released New Morning, a versatile record which expands on the laid-back-country-rock of John Wesley Harding by adding a bit more rock & roll. Dylan explores some peculiar paths during the tracks of this album. He's experimenting with Jazz-sounds on "Sign On The Window" and "Winterlude", Rockabilly in "Went To See The Gypsy" and even spoken word in "If Dogs Run Free". In the US New Morning reached #7 going gold and in the UK it even bumped Led Zeppelin III from the number one position. The hit "If Not For You" has been widely covered by the likes of Bryan Ferry, George Harrison and Olivia Newton John (who scored a #1 hit with her cover).
"Put simply, New Morning is a superb album. It is everything that every Dylan fan prayed for after Self Portrait... The unquestioned masterpiece of the album is 'Sign on the Window.' It ranks with the best work he's done, and the fact that he plays such moving piano and sings with just everything he's got makes it one of the most involved (and involving) pieces he's ever recorded... It seems almost superfluous to say that this is one of Dylan's best albums, perhaps his best. In good conscience, all I can really say is get it yourself and prepare to boogie." - Ed Ward, Rolling Stone
