Billboard review:
Someday Baby
BOB DYLAN
Producer(s): Jack Frost
Label: Columbia
Lately, the once-so-reclusive Bob Dylan has been revealing more of himself—he's even hosting a weekly radio show—but his nasal growl remains as enigmatic and prophetic as ever. With "Modern Times," he submits a new album that sounds just like one of those scratched pre-rock records he is now spinning on-air. An old-timey electric blues shuffle in the vein of Slim Harpo, "Someday Baby" isn't breaking any new ground, but that's exactly the point. "I'm so hard-pressed, my mind tied up in knots/I keep recycling the same old thoughts," he riffs, holding onto the blues like an old preacher to his most sacred text. Dylan in 2006 offers a refuge from, not homage to, our hopelessly modern world. —Sven Philipp
