Bob Dylan – Knocked Out Loaded (LP Vinyl)

Released in 1986 at a strange and restless moment in Dylan's catalog, Knocked Out Loaded is the kind of record that rewards patient listeners who accept it on its own eccentric terms. The standout is "Brownsville Girl," the sprawling eleven-minute co-write with playwright Sam Shepard that ranks among Dylan's most cinematic and underappreciated late-period achievements. On vinyl, its scope and storytelling hit differently.
