Editorial Reviews

Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.

You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Eclectic Mix of Dylan Songs, November 18, 2010

This is a nice eclectic mix of Dylan songs from the 80's. There's hits and good deep album cuts so someone putting it together did their homework. It would be perfect for the new or casual fan.

Everything seems to have a nice fresh sound to it so I guess they're not full of BS when they say the album is remastered. I don't care for the packaging. I know it's environmentally friendly recycled materials so the Tree Huggers will love it. It's just a bit flimsy like it was made out of a cereal box.

The packaging is no big deal really but I would have given it 5 stars if not for it. Don't let that be a deal breaker for you though as the price is right on this very nice Dylan Collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars 80's Dylan, October 14, 2010

This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Bob Dylan 80's (Audio CD)

This playlist collection rounds up fourteen songs from a solid, though often uneven era in Bob Dylan's career. While he did release some stinkers like Knocked Out Loaded and Down In The Groove in the 80's he released one of his best albums, Oh Mercy, an underrated effort, Empire Burlesque, and the strong Infidels. Though the album cheats a bit by including a couple outtakes that were on his Bootleg Series, you get some outstanding tracks like the sprawling "Jokerman", the pretty "Every Grain Of Sand" and the searing "Everything is Broken". It would have great to see the rare and superb "Band Of The Hand", Mr. Dylan's title track to the 1986 movie that I don't believe has ever been released on cd.

These songs follow his conversion to belief in Christ. It may have seemed that he had painted himself into a corner subject matter wise with that decision. One listen to these songs makes it clear that whatever his beliefs, his songwriting became richer, rather than more predictable. Nothing stale about these wonderful songs. The songs speak for themselves!
