Every Bob Dylan Album Ranked Worst To Best
1. Blood On The Tracks (1975)
Blood On The Track isn't just Bob Dylan's magnum opus, but it's also the most viscerally affecting portrait of heartbreak ever written.
Produced during the disintegration of his marriage, the record charts the ins and outs of Dylan's emotional turmoil and romantic foibles, and finds him at his most self-aware and haunted.
From the opening track Tangled Up In Blue, a time-bending tale of love, to the epic If You See Her, Say Hello, which features some of the most evocative and powerful imagery the singer has ever conjured, the record takes its listeners on a winding odyssey into the mind of a master storyteller mourning a loss in the only way he knows how.
If that wasn't enough, the beautiful lyricism is joined by the best production values of Bob Dylan's career, a series of melodic tunes that each raise the emotion to an almost unbearable height, and such a concise understanding of what the record wants to achieve that the whole things feel likes a great novel, sung by a writer in complete control of his powers.
