Bob Dylan Love And Theft - CD

Love And Theft features 12 brand-new Bob Dylan compositions recorded this spring with Bob Dylan’s touring band, augmented with other musicians including legendary Texas keyboard player Augie Meyers. 

Edna Gundersen of USA Today writes, “Dylan’s 43rd album exudes the breezy confidence of a veteran and the adventurous energy of a budding prodigy...Love And Theft finds pop’s inscrutable iconoclast breaking new ground while simultaneously mining gloried traditions in American song. The result is contemporary yet rootsy, and an unexpected left turn from the million-selling Time Out Of Mind.” 

Los Angeles Times pop music critic Robert Hilburn describes the album as “filled with an energy and imagination of its own—almost as if he wanted to revisit some of the classic pop, folk and rock musical textures he heard on the radio as a youngster in Minnesota. But he has reworked them into striking contemporary pieces, filled with his trademark level of dazzling lyric sophistication. It is a unique mix of party frenzy and serious reflection.” 

The release of Love And Theft marks another milestone in the career of one of the world’s most extraordinary artists, and comes amidst one of Bob Dylan’s most creative and prolific periods. In only four years since the release of the platinum Time Out Of Mind, Bob Dylan has performed nearly 450 concerts around the world. He also wrote and recorded “Things Have Changed,” featured in the film Wonder Boys, for which he received both the Academy Award and Golden Globe earlier this year. 

Love And Theft is an album for the masses, not just for the core Bob Dylan fans, the kind of record people are hungry for. Bob Dylan is a one-of-a-kind artist making one-of-a-kind music, and Love And Theft proves it again.
