 WORLD GONE WRONG - 1993
In the early-to-mid-'90s, Dylan took a break from recording original material, releasing two albums of traditional songs performed solo.
When the first, GOOD AS I BEEN TO YOU, was released, detractors claimed Dylan was out of ideas and grasping at the straws of his folkie youth (TIME OUT OF MIND would eventually lay such claims squarely to rest).
Two of the most affecting songs, "Blood In My Eyes" and the title track, were made "popular" by the Mississippi Sheiks, an early country blues group, and these easily rank among Dylan's finest '90s performances.
