Bob Dylan: Desire

5 January 1976 · 51 YEARS

Desire

Bob Dylan

Recorded amidst the Rolling Thunder Revue, the album benefits from a loose, collaborative spirit. The songs trade the sparse acoustic style of earlier years for a textured, cinematic sound that feels vibrant and present.

From the opening track to the concluding ballad, the songwriting feels like a fever dream. The record serves as a distinct chapter in the mid-seventies, documenting a period where the music prioritizes a collective, live-wire interaction between players.
