Album Notes Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica, piano); Robert Britt (acoustic & electric guitars); Daniel Lanois (acoustic & electric guitars, mando-guitar); "Bucky" Baxter (acoustic & pedal steel guitars); Duke Robillard (guitar); Cindy Cashdollar (slide guitar); Jim Dickinson (Wurlitzer piano, pump organ, keyboards); Augie Meyers (accordion, organ); Tony Garnier (acoustic & electric basses); Winston Watson, Jim Keltner, David Kemper, Brian Blade (drums); Tony Mangurian (percussion). Recorded at Criteria Recording Studios, Miami, Florida. TIME OUT OF MIND won the 1998 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Cold Irons Bound" won the 1998 Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. This album by the quintessential singer-songwriter comes after a long layoff from recording original material. Dylan's previous two albums were powerful collections of traditional songs, and the album that preceded them was full of some rather iffy original tunes, so all eyes were on Dylan to make one of his patented surprise comebacks. As luck would have it, that's exactly what TIME OUT OF MIND turns out to be. Produced by Daniel Lanois, who manned the boards for Dylan's best latter-day album, OH MERCY, this one has the kind of raw, spontaneous vibe that serves Zimmy's music so well. Loss and world-weariness abound in the lyrics, and Dylan articulates these emotions perfectly, in a manner that seems simultaneously casual and precise. Songs like "Standing In The Doorway" and "Million Miles" are bathed in sorrow and emotional desolation, but are so well-crafted that their solipsism is irresistible. An all-star cast including Ry Cooder and Duke Robillard provides the sparse, rough-edged, bluesy accompaniment that casts Dylan's compositions in the perfect musical light. Bob's back!

Reviews Review created: 03/09/08 by: The songs had soul, but not enough. I bought the cd cos it was a Dylan. And it was of low cost. (They need to change this "at least 100 characters" thing. What if you don't have that much to say? I call for reform!) Review ID: 10000000006102522 Was this review helpful? Report this review I have never heard a Dylan album I didn't love and while many reviewers have said that this was his great comeback I saw it as simply another great album in a long line of great albums. At times the songs can blend together and sometimes the songs are quite long (Highlands is 16+ minutes)but I doubt those would be valid obstacles to a true Dylan fan. 5 Stars. Review ID: 10000000005211482 Was this review helpful? Report this review It's been too long since Bob Dylan has released something worthwhile. He's been disappointing for too long. But - he gives us a home run performance on this cd. I mean - he hits it out of the park!! It's rare for me to be knocked out by a cd on the first listen, but that's the case with this one. Songwriting is great. Music is great. Production, by Daniel Lanois is great. Would like to see Dylan hire Lanois again in the future. This cd is an absolute must - even if you're not into Dylan. His best since "Blood on the Tracks". Welcome Back Bob ! Review ID: 10000000002543590 Was this review helpful? Report this review 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. I love this CD. It is earthy, provocative and consoling all at the same time. Highlands is a wonderful meandering ruminative piece. I love to listen to this album as I go for long walks or bike rides. Some of the other songs sound like they were recorded on a desert island by a band of men at their most primitive. This is Dylan at his aching best.

Report this review Review created: 07/18/00 by: zenhues -- a member of Epinions Pros: lyrics and music stand up with any of his work Cons: no lyric sheet. he looks like my Aunt Bev. Growing up as a teen in the eighties, Bob Dylan had become fodder for lame morning show deejays and cheesy late night talk show hosts. He was an easy target, showing up incoherent at times and bizarre at others. His music had lacked something, a fire that burned so strong at one time. I rooted for Bob, and wanted him to become relevant again. The nineties were encouraging. Dylan took a break from songwriting, and did a few albums of covers. He was trying to find something he lost, by working on the mechanics of these old songs. It worked. Time Out of Mind gives us Dylan with skills sharpened.. Review ID: 10000000000253675 Review created: 12/05/00 by: najdorf -- a member of Epinions Pros: Great songwriting, sorta folky/bluesy, Bob Dylan rules STILL Cons: Voice/almost unremitting melancholy might grate on some A lot of people have talked about this album as a revival of Bob Dylan's career, and I have to agree with them. His music from the 80's and early 90's is fairly uncompelling, but somehow on this album he manages to write a very good set of songs. Now, another thing people talk a lot about is Bob Dylan's voice. I don't know how people can dislike the singing from his folky days or Blood on the Tracks; when someone tells me they hate those albums, I have to resist telling them that I hate them. In High Fidelity, John Cusack's character says that "what you like is more important than what you're. Review ID: 10000000000253676 Review created: 04/15/00 by: StrrmRider -- a member of Epinions Pros: Rich and Descriptive Lyrics, Emotional lyrical delivery, a classic and timeless album Cons: Serious themes of age and time might be too much for some, Also some people do not like Dylan's vocal stylings Bob Dylan's 'Time Out of Mind' is unquestionably a Dylan album - amazing and wonderful. As a long time Dylan fan, I purchased this album 3 years ago, and I still find myself constantly returning to this record. This album is the voice of a man out of place-in a time out of mind. Dylan's voice creaks and whispers and moans throughout this album - ringing in your brain and echoing in your soul. This is not the 1960's Bob Dylan, just as we are not the 1960's public. He has seen war and hatred and love and death, and these things all co-exist in his amazing voice. Many people hate the way Bob... Review ID: 10000000000253684 Review created: 01/05/00 by: mtcaudill -- a member of Epinions Pros: "Highlands", "Cold Iron Bounds", the mix of the entire album is superb Cons: no lyrics on the liner notes Just like a lot of you out there, I've suffered through the ups and downs of Dylan's recording career. He can take you to extremes, and almost force you to give up on him for good. But even through the lean years of his recording career (let's say 1981 to 1995), I have always kept my faith in Bob. Sure, albums like "Street Legal" and "Good as I've Been To You?" were a little hard to stomach at first but eventually they grew on me. "Time Out of Mind" brings us into a new chapter of the Dylan novel of life. On this record he is not the once young and brazen folk singer of the '60's, he is a... Review ID: 10000000000253683 Review created: 11/13/99 by: perturber -- a member of Epinions Pros: Dylan, his voice, his vision, his expression of angst Cons: Dirt Road Blues seems out of place Having followed Dylan's roller-coaster career since 1963, I sometimes wonder why so many people berate him for the few poor albums or songs he has released. After all, hasn't he produced the most mystical, lyrical and unabashed rock Review ID: 10000000000253682 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
