Bob Dylan-Rough And Rowdy Ways (2020)

To speak of Bob Dylan is to speak of one of the geniuses of the 20th century, a musician as pioneering as he was influential, who has paved the way for thousands of musicians and numerous subsequent styles. Approaching his 80th birthday, the Minnesota musician gave us another of his acclaimed works with his thirty-ninth album, "Rough and Rowdy Ways". Here, he once again displays a perfect inventory of his most genuine essence, his literary grandeur, and his profound poetry. He narrates the needs of his country with elegance and intelligence, exploring a diversity of styles and themes, from country and folk sounds to rhythm and blues, rural blues, and rockabilly. Songs like "I Contain Multitudes", "Key West", "False Prophet", "Crossing the Rubicon", "My Own Version of You", and "Murder Most Foul" reflect one of his most personal and retrospective albums.
