Album is copyrighted 1974, and it was originally intended to be released late that year, following Dylan's sessions in New York in September, 1974. For all the melancholic pain, unresolved questions, shattered memories, wasted times, unrequited dialogs, and weary regret within, Blood on the Tracks remains as daring as it is reflective. It's back up tempo with a touch of Robert Service like adventure and romance in the 2nd track, a drawn out square dance type of number about a mythical Jack of Hearts.

These are songs of "images and distorted facts," each expressed through tangled points of view, and all of them blue. This was seen by some of his fans as a betrayal of this folk roots, with some saying that it obscured his meaningful and poetic lyrics. According to music journalist Rob Sheffield, Blood on the Tracks became a benchmark album for Dylan in the years that followed because it was "such a stunning comeback". Shelter From The Storm is just undiluted genius, this track more than all the others shows a master at the very height of his craft, in mid muse and sailing, this reminds you the man was born with a luscious gift and we are the lucky ones he shares it with. The 1970s were a period during which Dylan was more sporadic in his output, releasing some poorly received LPs.Everybody agrees that was pretty different, and what's different about it is there's a code in the lyrics, and also there's no sense of time. For me this is the weakest track on the the album because it doesn't really fit in, but would have sounded goos on Desire, which was more bluesy.

Irish folk musician Paul Brady recounts how Dylan had heard Brady's 'the Lakes of Pontchartrain' and asked to meet him.

Shortly after starting to play he changed his stage name to Bob Dylan, after being influenced by the poetry of Dylan Thomas before legally changing his name in 1962. A film adaptation of the album is currently in pre-production, under the direction of Luca Guadagnino. A movie about Baby Boomers in the late 70s and early 80s transitioning into their 30s, with some holding onto their ideals and others leaving them behind.

The introduction of GAIN 2 Ultra Analog™ maintains Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s position as the world’s leading audiophile record label, where a passion for music with extraordinary sound quality matters most. In NME, Nick Kent described "the accompaniments [as] often so trashy they sound like mere practice takes", [43] while Crawdaddy magazine's Jim Cusimano found the instrumentation incompetent.It starts off going straight into the personal, emotional sound giving us a taste of his mood, without opening up his heart too much, yet, but Tangled Up In Blue is a belter of an opening track and tells us of the quality we've to expect in the rest of it.

It is, in short, a consummate expression of love's darker sides and the consequences of what happens when dreams unravel. Presence, immediacy, naturalness: Mobile Fidelity reissue makes Blood on the Tracks among most lifelike-sounding albums you'll ever hear!

And in a 1978 interview, he responded to an observation that the album was confessional and that "Tangled Up in Blue" drew on his relationship with Sara by saying, "There might be some little part of me which is confessing something which I've experienced and I know, but is not definitely the total me confessing anything. Here, the ever detached rock God Bob Dylan gives us the perfect take on hard love, love as seen from the loser, and it sounds more heartfelt than any 'you're the best thing' or 'since I met you' love albuM.
