Local Jew Boy Makes Good: Bob Dylan’s New Morning
Charles Shaar Murray, Oz, 1970
NEW MORNING is a breath of clean air in a darkly polluted musical environment. With the prevailing sound being the grinding urban paranoia of the Black Sabbath/May Blitz syndrome, we need all the fresh country open spaces we can find. This album is full of them.
