AC,
If you like Blood On The Tracks (and why not, it's unbeatable) you will like 1997's Time out Of Mind which swept the grammies. It is almost Blood part 2 after a long period of further reflection. Older man's perspective. Still floats in a sea of emotional pain of the same kind as Blood, but has a more detached philosophical take on it (presumably due to the older and wiser principle), he no longer seems to dwell on the pain of relationships and take it all so personally as by this time he was his late 50s and had recently came through a potentially fatal hospital spell. Gives him a different kind of insight. Bowie supposedly regards it as Bob's best work EVER and recorded a cover from it right away (probably still not released). I wouldn't go this far.
2001's Love and Theft is good and sometimes great, but probably an acquired face, as it doesn't sound as immediately 'Dylan' as most of his works do in their different ways.

I will have to check that out. I do believe I've heard some of Time Of Mind and enjoyed it. If Love And Theft doesn't sound "immediately Dylan" I may like it even more, not because I don't like Dylan but because it would show something new. I trust your judgment, your advice given to me on classical symphonies was good and I already have found places that carry what I am looking for. I myself preferr Young to Dylan but they are incomparable.
I must say the album in my sig is great. I'm trying to get more people to check it out because I swear, in five years this guy will be huge!

By the way, AC, if you were to get Love & Theft, the producer 'Jack Frost for Jack Frost Productions' is in fact Bob under a new alias! He played the character called 'Alias... Alias nothing, just Alias' in film Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid.

Gotta love Bob. Without him there would be no Lennon, no Young, no Waters, no Barrett, no Stones, no Cobain, no Armstrong...
Any writer who has even attempted sincerity in their works owes a debt to that man. Sadly, none of his albums work their way onto my top twenty and I don't know what to say.

Oh! I forgot about Enya, I love her album with Wild Child, is it called "A Day without Rain"? I'm to lazy to go look it up.
She just has the most beautiful voice ever. I highly recommend "Paint The Sky With Stars", which is a greatest hits album, although it was done before "Wild Child" came out. The title track is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
