Album Notes Also available in a 3-pack with NASHVILLE SKYLINE and JOHN WESLEY HARDING. Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, organ); David Bromberg (electric guitar, dobro); Al Kooper (electric guitar, French horn, piano, organ); Rob Cornelius, Buzzy Feiten (electric guitar); Harvey Brooks, Charlie Daniels (bass instrument); Russ Kunkel, Billy Mundi (drums); Hilda Harris, Maeretha Stewart, Albertine Watson (background vocals). Recording information: 1970. Following the critical and commercial drubbing that SELF PORTRAIT received, Dylan returned to form with NEW MORNING. With its sepia-colored cover photo of a somewhat rabbinical-looking Dylan, this is a gentle, eclectic album in which the artist celebrates married life and living in the country. He sings about domestic bliss on "The Man in Me" and of the simple joy of being called 'pa' by his kids on "Sign in the Window." This was perhaps the last time that Dylan would release a collection of songs so free of his trademark bile. "If Not For You," for example, is gently, poetically romantic. Much of the music bears some of the pastoral flavor of NASHVILLE SKYLINE. However the title track and the slide guitar-driven "One More Weekend" really rock. Elsewhere there are moments of quiet beauty: the eloquent "Time Passes Slowly" and the lilting, waltz-time "Winterlude." Dylan can even be heard enjoying himself in "If Dogs Run Free," which finds him uttering comical Beat-style jazz rhymes over scat singing. NEW MORNING ends with "Father of Night," a straightforward benediction that foreshadows some the religious themes that would follow later in the decade.

Report this review Review created: 02/03/07 by: There is not another Dylan album like this. The overall mood is calm, the poetry direct and sweet, you can picture Bob sitting on his backporch reflecting over the landscape and then dashing inside to sit at his piano when inspiration hits. There are many Dylan greats on this album, like "If Not For You", "The Man In Me", "Day Of The Locusts", heck, each song is good on its own. Take a listen if you want something to just sit around think to. Review ID: 10000000002855236 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/30/05 by: brian_lettsin-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: Tracks 8, 9 & 10 show Dylan on form Cons: Everything else is dull, lazy, strange or just flat, poor sound quality The majority of Bob Dylan s 1960s output ranks as some of the finest music ever recorded. In his twenties, the old troubadour to end all old troubadours wrote a phenomenal amount of incredible songs, some of them while he was still coming out of puberty, some of them so incredible that you d think he was superhuman. And of course, people did. So what do you do when you are a musical deity just going into your thirties and are in a position where you really need never record another album as long as you live? Well, that s a heck of a predicament to be in. And Bob Dylan has never really been...

Cons: One or two over the top numbers that are a little strange Walking into your local music store, you may be astonished to find the sheer volume of Bob Dylan recordings you have to choose from. There are some 50 albums Dylan recorded throughout his still productive career. Among them are the obvious classics; "Blonde on Blonde," "Highway 61 Revisited," "Freewheelin'," "Time Out of Mind," "Nashville Skyline..." the list can go on. There are at least three or four more that merit classic status. But the album I'm about to tell you about is not on any list. I had never heard of it until a film called "The Big Lebowski," which features one of the songs on.. Review ID: 10000000000218167 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
