The Greatest Music
Time Out of Mind
by Bob Dylan
The 514th greatest album of all time
Time Out of Mind, released in 1997, finds Bob Dylan returning to a moody, blues- and folk-rooted sound with atmospheric, reverb-heavy production by Daniel Lanois. The songs are often slow-burning and midtempo, with shadowy arrangements and a weathered vocal delivery that foreground themes of aging, loss and memory. Tracks such as "Not Dark Yet" and "Love Sick" exemplify the album's spare, haunted atmosphere and its blend of classic rock, blues rock and folk rock elements, making it a notable late-career statement in Dylan's catalogue.
