Description
MULTI-PLATINUM 1976 RECORD MADE WITH MEMBERS OF ROLLING THUNDER REVUE AND EMMYLOU HARRIS
Bob Dylan cut Desire flanked by more than a dozen musicians, aided by a producer averse to multitracking, and bent on tequila. Reeling from the effects of his disintegrating marriage, the singer penned several of the most heartfelt songs of his career, including "Sara," the most overtly public broadcasting of his private life and emotions committed to tape. Straddling lines between haphazard and organized, loose and planned, Desire lives up its title, a masterwork that Dylan would not equal in creativity, performance, and lyricism for another two decades.
Largely captured at one unruly New York studio date, many songs are first-take arrangements, experienced on this reissue in a raw, realistic fashion that allows chords to swell, vocals to naturally carry, and percussion to span a seemingly bridge-wide soundstage. Accenting instruments – bouzouki, accordion, mandolin, violin, congas, piano – gain their own space and color the music with intriguing textures. The wider grooves mean more information reaches your ears.
