When You Love Somebody

(5 out of 5 stars)
"I only wanted to write a review because I read few that were kind of tepid, and in my version of the world Bob Dylan records are either noble failures or the best records ever made, they all get 5 stars in my view. This view strains rationality but it's how I feel, and he has certainly been industrious in supporting it all these years.
He works hard and a large group of us appreciate it, but the truth is I never listen to any of the records made before this one, but I listen to this one a lot and always like it. Actually, I listen to everything after this one frequently, as if they just came out. I think this was the start of Dylan's new life, an oddly parallel second life beginning with great versions of songs from very different folk sources."
