Amazon.co.uk Review
Already a worldwide chart-topper, emTogether Through Lifeem /em/emconfirms that the huge success of 2006rsquo;s excellent emememModern Times/em/em/em was no one-off. And though the material here may lack some of the depth of that unexpectedly euphoric collection, itrsquo;s clear that Bob Dylan is not merely indestructible but an active songwriting force again. Tom Pettyrsquo;s longtime guitarist Mike Campbell adds the necessary quicksilver, but the heart of this recordrsquo;s sound lies further south than the Delta, as a Tex-Mex accordion dominates on songs like the moody opener "Beyond Here Lies Nothing" and the weary "If You Ever Go To Houston". The jittery Mexabilly of "Itrsquo;s All Good" and the plain catchy "Jolene"(unrelated to Dolly Partonrsquo;s seventies hit) are the obviously commercial offerings while the hard blues of "Shake Shake Mama" and the witty "My Wifersquo;s Home Town" (co-credited to the late Willie Dixon, writer of its template "I Just Want To Make Love To You") provide the grit. Although Dylanrsquo;s arrangements here are often as wistful as Willie Nelson at his most distracted, his vocals are anything but, the extraordinary sound of a man who seemingly hasnrsquo;t cleared his throat in decades. Almost uniquely in his long career, Dylan shares his writing credit with erstwhile Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, yet the pair of them must surely concede that this concise and enjoyable collection plugs into a self-aggrandising storytelling tradition that predates the pair of them. emememTogether Through Lifeem /em/em/em/emis unlikely ever to be considered a great Dylan album, but it is undeniably great fun, and that counts for plenty.emememem --Steve Jelbertbr //em/em/em/em

 better than touted April 28, 2009

I think this is a better record than most of the critics I've read have said. It's not so much about words, though there are some great lines here and there. Throughout the album, Dylan treads a fine line between bathos and banality. No, it's about sound. 'Jack Frost' has really done his time in the galleys and come of age here. It's warm, deeply human, somewhat fetid, yet bright, alive and immediate. Gone is the single coil brilliance of the Larry Campbell/Charlie Sexton period. Instead, we have the darker humbucking sound of Mike Campbell. Add to that the brilliance of David Hidalgo's accordian work, a sound that so suits Dylan it's amazing he hasn't used it more in the past, and you end up with a tight, unified sound. This is a minor collection, to be sure, but one with an overall unity which is absent from earlier Dylan albums which fall into this category. Taken on its own terms, I think it's very good indeed.

If you come to this album expecting the dazzling wordplay of Visions of Joanna or It's Alright Ma I'm Only Bleeding you will not find it. That is because it is in that simpler lyrical style Dylan has adopted as he approaches his seventh decade, a simplicity that still can deliver devastating insights and original images. It is great Dylan , as good as anything he has done in the last 10 years, at least. Also, he is aided by a great bunch of musicians which makes it a richer sonic experience than , say , the much lauded Modern Times. He sings with real feeling on every track, and there is no filler. A worthy addition to the canon.

br /A piquant album,with the added bonus of an interview and radio show on the subject of 'friendship' Trust the maestro to fix on this depth topic, giving due honour to the positive as well as the 'fiend' nature of friendship. ( only missing one 'r', and yet light years apart!) I love you Bobby!

I want this album now!!
br /
br /This track titled "Beyond Here Lies Nothing" was such a jolt of energy that it is hard to believe that the man is now in his late 60s. It came on the radio when we were on our way home from work and the other car member did not believe that this was Bob Dylan. I thought that they must have pulled some long lost gem out his archives.
br /
br /As soon as I got in the door I looked this up to see if I could find it only to discover that he has a new album out in only a few weeks.
br /
br /Now I just have to wait.
br /
br /Therefore I cannot review the album as it is not out yet but based on that song I will definitely be buying it and am tentatively giving it 5 stars based on the strength of this one song.
