Bob Dylan - Love and Theft

Love and Theft is Dyaln's 31st studio album, released September 11th 2001. The Chicago Tribune notes that: "Love and Theft is a kind of homage, [and] never more so than on 'High Water (for Charley Patton),' in which Dylan draws a sweeping portrait of the South's racial history, with the unsung blues singer as a symbol of the region's cultural richness and ingrained social cruelties. Rumbling drums and moaning backing vocals suggest that things are going from bad to worse. 'It's tough out there,' Dylan rasps. 'High water everywhere.' Death and dementia shadow the album, tempered by tenderness and wicked gallows humor."

Heavyweight double LP, pressed in Germany. Includes download.
