Yeah, planned to get it today but Tania surprised me by producing it and 
putting it on just as we were going to bed, so I've only heard it once 
but was struck by how great his voice sounds. When we first heard Time 
Out Of Mind we were stunned by this new Dylan voice, and now he's got 
another one which sounds like some bizarre hybrid of Willie Nelson and 
Bing Crosby. Excellent!

An impression of country blues and the British traditional influences 
that came out on Good As I Been To You. Tania said, "I love the fact 
that Bob Dylan sounds like he's growing old disgracefully and singing in 
a cocktail lounge". Perfect.

What I really remember from the first listen is Workingman's Blues #2.
I suddenly realised that I've been listening to new Dylan albums for 40 
years. Oh Mercy.
