I know some people don’t love mid-eighties Dylan, but I really do. He’s working here with Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Howie Epstein (from the Heartbreakers) as well as Mick Taylor, Sly Dunbar, and Robbie Shakespeare, plus a wonderful set of backing vocalists.

The big single here was “Tight Connection To My Heart” which got a fair amount of MTV play at the time.

The recent Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (Springtime in New York) that covers 1980-1985 hopefully introduces some Dylan fans who overlooked the era to how great some of the music he was making then is.

My copy—via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA—is a Columbia Pitman pressing from the 80s, with the original printed inner sleeve.
