Rough and Rowdy Ways

Rough and Rowdy Ways is a 2020 album by Bob Dylan that blends blues, folk, folk rock and rock with sparse, often piano or acoustic based arrangements and occasional electric or jazz inflections. The songs are largely narrative and introspective, marked by dense, allusive lyrics that draw on literature, history and popular culture, and the record includes the long, elegiac track "Murder Most Foul." The overall tone is reflective and elegiac, making the album a notable late career statement in Dylan's catalog.
