Bob Dylan – Love And Theft (2-LP Vinyl)

Released on September 11, 2001, "Love And Theft" arrived into a world that changed the same morning it hit shelves, yet Dylan's sun-drenched romp through American roots music, blues, and Western swing felt somehow timeless rather than untimely. Drawing on the deep well of vernacular tradition he'd been mining since the beginning, Dylan delivered some of his sharpest, most playful writing in decades, with Charley Patton echoes sitting comfortably beside genuine wit and menace.
