30 Days of Dylan #27: High Water (For Charley Patton)

May 2011 sees the 70th birthday of Bob Dylan. To celebrate, we're taking you on a journey through the lesser celebrated avenues of his back catalogue.

High Water (For Charley Patton) (2001)

Because ‘Love And Theft’ might just be Bob Dylan’s best album. If not, it certainly is the one Dylan album you can play to people who haven’t liked him before, but are open to giving him a chance. This album is clinically tried and tested on these types, but remains far from watered down Dylan, if anything it’s his most fully realised LP long statement ever. ‘Love And Theft’.
