Bob Dylan for me was always rebellious music with harmonica, campfire the revolutionaries and the antiwar movement. Music that makes do with few resources.
Contrast This album is designed purely commercial and probably speaks more to the people who could never do with Bob Dylan's ideology something. In these photographs, even a pop chorus occurs with supple, ie customized, female voices. The music itself sounds like a commercial, popular Country- and Western music, perfectly designed. Bob Dylan's voice acts as the alcohol-soaked voice of an old man, a drunkard's voice, which seems kontrolllos.
Somehow it all sounds together no longer authentic ...
