Finally a brand new album from the 78-year-old Nobel Prize winner: Bob Dylan's "Rough And Rowdy Ways" is another highlight in his gigantic catalogue.

Reviews

“Full of bleak and brooding rhythm and blues, Rough and Rowdy Ways reveals Dylan at his lyrical best.” – The Guardian

“Bob returns with an unadulterated, stone-cold masterpiece.” – The Arts Desk

“More evidence of the vast scope of his artistic vision. What’s extraordinary is how it continues to expand, containing multitudes no one else thought of.” – Mojo

“Arguably his grandest poetic statement yet.” – NME

“The master is back on song.” – The Irish Times

“The 70 minutes of Rough and Rowdy Ways, knotted with literary allusions, historical references, pure poetry and the occasional joke, are more than Nobel-worthy, an edifice of lyrical virtuosity that could keep Dylanologists going for years.” – Evening Standard

“Rough and Rowdy Ways is the work of a man in love with language and philosophy, and, at 79, he continues to take the pulse of the zeitgeist with unerring precision. He ain't no false prophet, he's an artist, he don't look back.” – Exclaim
