  • World Gone Wrong (Cult Following)
    • “There is the case to be made for World Gone Wrong as one of the most introspective and reflective pieces from Dylan’s discography.”
  • Christmas In The Heart (Cult Following)
    • “The Voice of a Generation may have a dab hand for protest tracks and contemplative reflection, but Christmas is a struggle for the vocal cords.”
  • Folk Music – Book by Greil Marcus (MPR News)
    • The most resonant part of the book, though, is one of the most counterintuitive. “Desolation Row,” nearly 12 minutes long, ends Highway 61 Revisited as a monument, the first of his big, bank-vault-sized album closers.
  • Greil Marcus’ Back Pages – Folk Music (Splice Today)
    • “It’s not always great writing. What turned me off from Marcus as a college kid is still there—his tendency towards a very specific strain of grandiose prose that seeks to legitimize “low culture” to an imagined gallery of humorless academics, as if the only thing denying Leadbelly or Little Richard greatness is a lack of weepy, embarrassingly reverential essays devoted to them.”
