Blood on the Tracks

by

Bob Dylan

This album was my way into Dylan, as it could be said for many people. Here his voice isn't as much a hurdle, as I'd found in some of his earlier efforts - it is tuneful, intimate and perfectly situated within the instrumentation. Every song is wonderfully crafted, with pointed lyrics, heartbreaking honesty and each song paints a vivid picture of a breakdown of a relationship. With such an extensive catalog, I always find myself coming back to Dylan's "break-up" album above all others.
