Bob Dylan – New Morning (LP Vinyl)

After the dense complexity of *Self Portrait* drew puzzled reactions from critics and fans alike, Dylan returned just months later with something looser and more joyful. *New Morning* caught him in a domestic, almost pastoral headspace, drawing on country, gospel, and piano-driven folk in ways that felt genuinely unburdened. For many in his orbit, it signaled that the reclusive Woodstock years had quietly produced a Dylan content, for once, just to play.
