PopMatters is doing a terrific work in celebrating the 35th anniversary of Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, one of the greatest albums of all time, one of the strongest songwriting efforts, one of the very few evidences that an artist can write great tunes even in its 15th studio album.
On Spotify, I haven't found the original work: just a couple of tracks featured in some movie soundtracks. Instead, I could play the record club game, again: cover versions are available for each track of the album.
Maybe the result is a bit too soft. Folk troubadours and jazz singers, Jeff and Jeff, Joan and Cassandra, they all wore the slow-tempo dress: acoustic guitars, classic rock, wide breadth atmospheres, no time limits, no punk, electro or other experimentations. I hoped to find at least one thing like the Ramones' take of What a Wonderful World. I haven't.
