A Fueled by Coffee Production.

My name is Ben Barrel and welcome back to Bob Dylan, album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-death look at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by record.

So I hope all is good in this still strange situation we find ourselves in.

It's still really odd here in England. I'm sure it is where you are.

I hope you're getting through it all right.

Thank you for all your kind messages about listening to the podcast in lockdown or whatever

state you're currently in. They're more than appreciated. I'm still doing the podcast from my

bedroom. This podcast, if nothing else, is glamorous. Is it not? Think of that during today's

episode. Also, thank you to everyone that has donated recently by buying me a coffee. Hello, Philip,

Philip Storing, probably saying that wrong. Thank you for your large donation. Nice one for that.

Hi to J-Cocon. Hi, sweet pretty thing, a regular donor. Hi to Lionel Drager. Hello to Drew. Hello to Max

Bizzgrove. Hello to Artajan. Again, that's probably the worst pronunciation of someone's name ever. I can only

apologize. I've probably offended you. Also, hi to Lucy. Thank you for your donation and your email as well.

That's really nice. And got to say hello to James Wagner too. You can donate to a show. The buy me a coffee

link, as always, is in the episode's description. Stay listening to the end of this episode, find out where we go next.

I'm quite excited about next week's episode.

It's another special.

We'll get to that in just a bit.

First, so let's take a look at this album.

Now, this album is often loved by diehard Bob Dylan fans.

I think because it's universally not particularly considered a classic and I think some people like it just because of that just a bit a little bit different and also just because it's got Bob's name on it as well.

I'm not the biggest fan of it. I don't mind it. For me though, it's only just okay, as we'll see.
