BOB DYLAN --- STREET LEGALThis overlooked & under appreciated gem came out in the 70’s when it was cool to dismiss Dylan’s work as “unimportant” or “uninspired” and maybe compared to his 60’s output it was but this disc has some fine songs on it. “Baby Please Stop Crying”, “Is Your Love In Vain”, “New Pony” “True Love Tends To Forget” all rock with raw guitars, swing with a gospel backup crew and give this disc an R&B feel. The more I hear it, the more I like it. I think you will, too. Check it out.I give it 3 bones. “See you next time on the corner....”

Satch’s Corner Where you can read about some good cd’s, books & videos which can be purchased at www.sourceunltd.com through our affiliate program with amazon.com
