Recording information: 2001. Bob Dylan's career has always been about defying expectations. Accordingly he followed 1997's much-heralded TIME OUT OF MIND with a marked about-face. Where its predecessor was a bleak emotional landscape full of languid atmospheres, existential sentiments, and graveyard vocal delivery, LOVE AND THEFT finds Dylan much more energized and hopeful. Instead of swamp-like textures, we get sharp, cracking bar-band blues, and lissome ballads with a '20s/'30s feel. The old codger has never sounded more spry; after observing that "summer days and summer nights are gone," he follows up with "I know a place where there's still something going on." Elsewhere he's variously hunting bear, standing on a table to make a toast, burning down a house, and starting a new empire. The musical context for all this uproar is informed more heavily by Dylan's earliest Americana roots than anything other than his albums of traditional folk songs. Delta and Chicago blues are templates for many songs, while a few others even more anachronistically suggest a future for Dylan as ghost writer for Leon Redbone. The lyrics themselves are littered with quotes from/references to old blues tunes, but Dylan's classic non-linear structure and wild imagination allow him to transcend his influences even as he assimilates them.

Reviews  Love, Theft and RedemptionReview created: 01/10/08 by: robertt224 ( 3 )  Dylan never seems to lack for the new. Once again he creates the magic of his albums. Of all the performers, Dylan to me plays the novel, amusing music that is always new. Review ID: 10000000005087160 Was this review helpful? Report this review Sugar BabyNo matter what he does Dylan does it good and this is no exception. All 12 tracks here are wonderful. You need this. You really need this. 5 Stars.

Report this review Dylan comes through...once againReview created: 03/04/07 by: The voice took some getting used to, but once past that, this is another great Dylan album, full of spontaneity and feeling, and the usual great lyrics. There's good variety too; some real lively rockers, to more mellow ballad-types. It would not be much of a stretch to rank this album with the very best of Dylan, almost on a par with "Blood On The Tracks." Review ID: 10000000003080562 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Glad I hung-in thereThis cd took several listenings before getting use to. Matter of fact, I almost gave up on it. But, I'm glad I didn't. It's a good follow up to his last release, "Time Out of Mind", which remains my favorite of the two. Yes, Bob's voice sounds weathered, however,it still fits well with the music - it just does! I bought this cd used and it was not accompanied with lyrics. I'm assuming it wasn't offered with a new cd, as well. I wish it was. Reason being, I've sometimes found it difficult to understand what he's singing. Lets face it, when Dylan is singing, you want to know what the heck he's saying because no one says it better! All in all, it's well worth the purchase - even without the lyrics ! Review ID: 10000000002543506 Was this review helpful? Report this review Love & Theft - Bob DylanYep, even though Dylan sounds like he's at least a hundred years old on this album, he speaks in a haunting, loving, hopeful yet weary voice across a weary and always mystifying American landscape. "High Water" and "Po' Boy" are my favorite tracks, but every song on this album has its spooky charm. I never considered Dylan anything like a crooner, but on Love & Theft he almost does it...
