TOOM is in my top 5 favorite Dylan Albums.
Just love Daniel Lanois' stuff.. what he did with Gabriel on Secret World and the tone he is able to accomplish.
These are great Stories; Thank You 💕

[@Chapps1941]

One of his very best albums. "Blonde on Blonde", "Highway 61" & "Blood on the Tracks". Then this one, "Time Out of Mind ", is 4th. But there's another 20 really great albums.
You guys did well. A truly great Dylan Album: Shakespeare Lives!

[@alldayvinyl]

Absolutely, he’s got so many great ones 🔥

[@Brolo214]

Love & Theft is the one for me.

[@ronkopald]

What a great story!

[@alldayvinyl]

thank you for checking it out! I have a part 2 coming soon with Mark talking about his work with Neil Young, Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell - a trove of good stories! Hoping to release that in early May here on TH-cam

TOOM is great, Daniel is one of main reasons.

[@alldayvinyl]

Time out of mind is incredible and yes, Lanois is def a big part… it feels most certainly that the tensions between him and Dylan helped fuel this great album.

[@robertmartinez4174]

remember Soy Bomb ?

[@alldayvinyl]

I just looked it up, and I totally now remember that ! Place and time …

[@andy_travis]

Lanois is overblown and overrated imho.

[@alldayvinyl]

I actually like a lot of his work… I think the sound he and mark Howard perfected is really cool .. I can def see the alternative perspective tho
