Reviews:
From The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia by Michael Gray:
"Blood on the Tracks [1975] In stunning, total contrast to the previous album, Before the Flood,
this 16th Dylan album triumphantly shows more subtlety and nuance than anything he’d ever
done, and as honed a use of understatement as on John Wesley Harding. At the time this was the most
unexpected leap of Dylan’s career. After years of comparatively second-rate work and a considerable
decline in his reputation, here was an album to stand with Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on
Blonde."
Rolling Stone review ...
Best Song: There is no one "best": There are several. "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" are probably the best. The latter, in particular, because it's an interesting, lengthy ballad, and Dylan shows some uncharacteristic vocal styling in a few verses. -- Unattributed
"Idiot Wind"
According to Alias
Favorite Lyric: From "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts": "..The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts."
"Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
We're idiots, babe.
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves"
