	Rolling Stone : Love and Theft : Review
		Love and Theft takes us on a full-blown tour of American song in all its burlesque splendor, which includes, of course, Dylan's own psychedelic mutations of the blues.
		Love and Theft comes on as a musical autobiography that also sounds like a casual, almost accidental history of the country.
		Love and Theft climaxes a remarkable decade of work from Dylan - the decade when he hit the road for his Never-Ending Tour and finally ditched the halfhearted attempts at slickness that muffled most of his Eighties studio records.

	Bob Dylan: Love And Theft (2001): Reviews
		The remarkable achievement of Love and Theft is that Dylan makes the past sound as strange, haunted and alluring as the future...
		The voice you hear on "Love and Theft" is not that of the cocky young rock star who wrecked folk by simply strapping on an electric guitar, nor is it the vengeful and crotchety man who dripped Blood on the Tracks.
		'Love And Theft' is a much tricksier, elusive and - important, this - entertaining beast, one that mingles reflections on ageing with a host of jokes, both good and bad, and some wickedly limber music.

	LA Weekly - From the Head of the Mule
		That Bob Dylanâs new album â” âLove and Theft,â his 43rd and among his best â” was released on the day of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington is of course a meaningless coincidence, yet one that begs mention.
		Thereâs a point where good and bad meet, where the love songs are full of hate and the hate songs are full of love, and thereâs no telling them apart, and itâs all just life (and life only).
		Like Time Out of Mind, âLove and Theftâ (the quotation marks are part of the title, which is borrowed from a book by Eric Lott on flface minstrelsy) seems to exist in a patchwork past, in a landscape out of Joel Chandler Harris by way of Flannery OâConner.

	"Love and Theft" - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As Tim Riley of NPR notes, "[Dylan's] singing [on "Love and Theft"] shifts artfully between humble and ironic...'I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound,' he sings in 'Floater,' which is either hilarious or horrifying, and probably a little of both."
		""Love and Theft" is, as the title implies, a kind of homage," writes Kot, "[and] never more so than on 'High Water (for Charley Patton),' in which Dylan draws a sweeping portrait of the South's racial history, with the unsung blues singer as a symbol of the region's cultural richness and ingrained social cruelties.
		All pop music is love and theft, and in 40 years of records whose sources have inspired volumes of scholastic exegesis, Dylan has never embraced that truth so warmly.

	Bob Dylan: Love and Theft
		On Love and Theft, Dylan is re-using the blues and folk format that he’s been using since Highway 61 Revisited.
		Dylan's voice isn’t quite as warm on Love and Theft as it was on Time Out of Mine, and the vocals start grating long before the words become comprehensible.
		But it leaves a lot riding on Love and Theft – after all, if it doesn’t work – it may mean Dylan’s comeback was a fluke – one good self-penned album in a decade or more.

		Love and Theft is Bob Dylan's most focused, well-played collection since 1989's Oh Mercy, another Daniel Lanois production.
		Together with "Time Out of Mind", "Love and Theft" confirms that in these years Dylan is actually as artistically fertile as he ever was in the sixties.
		This makes "Love and Theft" one of the finest records Dylan has made, and it is all the better for not being too engrossed in its own virtues.

	"Love And Theft" \| The A.V. Club
		With Love, he seems to have returned from the experience with looser limbs, a warmer heart, and a keener eye.
		A blues-and-country-drenched collection unreservedly in love with music predating WWII, and unafraid to throw in the phrase "booty call" and at least one terrible joke, Love seems to come from a far more freewheeling Bob Dylan than the one on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, or virtually any other album he's recorded.
		Like much of "Love And Theft", this description of a disaster and its everlasting psychic toll is also sadly destined to take on added resonance as current events unfold.

	"A day above ground is a good day". A review of Bob Dylan's "Love and theft" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The follow-up Love and Theft has already positioned itself at the top of the charts, and all worried predictions that Dylan would do as he usually has done: follow up a masterpiece with an unengaged embarrassment, have been put to rest.
		All traces of love and good thoughts are twisted, with money as the only measurement of value, if at all there is one: "I got love for you, and it's all in vain", "My pretty baby, she's looking around.
		Love and Theft is not a cycle of poems, it is a record, so a few words about the music is appropriate.

	languagehat.com: LOVE AND THEFT.
		The versification is rarely intrusive; but in a subtle, almost subliminal way, it dignifies and deepens the events that triggered the intervention of the law: the railroad accidents, the cold-blooded murders, the gross examples of corporate negligence, the thefts, the suicides, the labour disputes, the mining disasters, the racial conflicts, the crimes passionnels.
		The poem also might be said to cast a quizzical, even sceptical light on the titanic efforts of an American Modernist poet such as Hart Crane to impose on American history an overarching, all-comprehending myth or narrative: the sheer multiplicity of its characters and their stories defeats all impulses and attempts to generalise.
		So Resnikoff would be an example of borrowing, not theft, since he based his two volumes on legal cases, revealing his sources rather than concealing them.

	Borzoi Reader \| Catalog \| Theft by Peter Carey
		Theft is the kind of novel only an abundantly gifted artist, and one serious about his craft, could produce.
		Theft is brilliantly constructed, and in Butcher and Hugh, Carey creates two narrators the reader cannot help but care about.
		In Theft: A Love Story here it is again, ‘the human voice once more in uproar,’ lyrical and foul, biblical and crude, in the now trademark Carey fusion of expertise and wonderful blaggery.

		With Love and Theft, Bob Dylan's return to the land of the living is complete.
		That voice still sounds gnarled on ''Love and Theft,'' but Dylan's delivery and music are looser and friskier, at once more lighthearted and more aggressive.
		But the remarkable thing about ''Love and Theft'' is that for the first time in a while, he doesn't seem to know it.

	Gadfly Online.
		On Love And Theft, there is not one misplaced note, not one sloppy arrangement.
		Perhaps more than any previous Dylan album, Love And Theft is as much about the music—and the sound and style of the music—as it is about the lyrics and the message.
		Love And Theft crosses more emotional and musical territory than any album in recent memory by Dylan—or anyone else.

	Gadfly Online.
		On "Love and Theft," country, blues, folk, swing, and rock all converge with Dylan's husky growl into a form of music that he has himself described as "all mashed up." But Dylan also grabbed from other areas to create this amazing amalgamation, most notably from literary sources.
		Besides the title which Dylan seems to have borrowed, Love and Theft also involves a discussion of the earliest forms of American music and also the first major artistic relationship between the fl and white cultures.
		Might it be that in much the same way that "love and theft" for you sums up the concept of white expropriation of fl culture in the form of minstrelsy—what you refer to as "minstrelsy's mixed erotic economy of celebration and exploitation"—for Dylan symbolizes his relationship with the old blues/country artists?

		Bob Dylan's use of portions of Junichi Saga's Confessions of a Yakuza in several songs on his 2001 album "Love and Theft".
		A new tradition created by the hardcore folkies (added atop the ones they were supposedly upholding) was to cram liner notes with intricate arcana about where musicians learned the songs from, the catalogue numbers of the original imprints, and maybe a bit why they were qualified to play them.
		On "Love and Theft", they are - with the creepily effective addition of the funeral parlor - a completed narrative unto themselves.

		"Love and Theft" is first and foremost a work of aging poet.
		In fact, "Love And Theft" is as eclectic as it gets (albeit not so coherent -- and dark -- as its predecessor, "Time Out Of Mind").

	Too Much Theft, Not Enough Love - By Marc Weingarten - Slate Magazine
		In that piece, Marcus, as is his wont, connects Love and Theft to a subterranean tradition of country blues artists from the '20s and '30s that includes Dock Boggs and Charlie Patton—once-forgotten eccentrics that were transformed into modish critical signifiers when Marcus wrote about them in his 1997 book Invisible Republic.
		If appropriation (theft) can be thought of as a kind of homage (love), then Love and Theft's songs do indeed capture the entropic, elegantly slouched spirit of those old Patton and Boggs recordings.
		What Love and Theft provides is a genre exercise, a clutch of wanderer's tales and love laments that effectively capture the craggy ache of vintage white country blues.

	Bob Dylan - Love and Theft - Columbia/Legacy Records - SACD
		After several spins of Love and Theft, I took his money without a tinge of guilt.
		Love and Theft is peppered with lines such as, "You can always come back / But you can't come back all the way." Maybe those awards relieved him of that load somewhat, because here, he seems to shrug off any expectations.
		Sure enough, Love and Theft proves that shedding the artistic demands of his legendary past has set him free to make his strongest album since his best, Blood on the Tracks.

	Bob Dylan - Love and Theft (Album Review)
		After all, Love and Theft is his 43rd album, and most artists seem to run out of ideas midway through their debut.
		That's not to say that Dylan hasn't hit a few dry periods in his lengthy career, but lately he is writing and releasing material as good as anything that's come before it.
		Dylan's latest album Love and Theft forsakes much of the thick, suffocating arrangements reminiscent of his collaborations with Daniel Lanois.

		Before that fateful Tuesday, "Love and Theft" could not have been so easily read as Dylan's contribution to the literature of the apocalypse.

		And maybe the 60-year-old truly has been reborn and redeemed: Love and Theft finds Dylan looking backward--toward Sun Records, Ralph Stanley, Charley Patton, Perry Como, Sonny Boy Williamson, the flat landscapes of Texas--even as he sprints and shuffles onward with fresh air in his wheezing lungs.
		Love and Theft is also a deceptive record that seems slight on the surface; after the deep introspection of its predecessor and "Things Have Changed" off the Wonder Boys soundtrack, it's positively light, airy, giddy.
		Then comes "Bye and Bye," where Dylan sings "love's praises in sugar-coated rhyme" and paints the town by "swingin' my partner 'round"; he's dolled up like a crooner and belting out a happy tune--Der Bingle out for a swingle.

		I loved "Highway 61." Wept over "Blood on the Tracks." Rocked with "Infidels." But this, this is all those and more.
		"Love is pleasing, love is teasing, love's not an evil thing." What great lyrics there are on this record you'll never be able to get out of your mind.

		However, none of it impinges on the land of “Love And Theft”, a land from before it was ever heard of, after all.
		There are not, as it happens, many offensive terms on “Love And Theft” but there are some attitudes which upset people who have taken sixties and post- sixties liberal thinking as their own and think that Dylan shares those views.
		Barriers to appreciation were conspicuous by their absence in the slew of enthusiastic reviews that greeted the release of “Love And Theft”, with people revelling in the humour of the album.
