Reeling from the effects of his disintegrating marriage, the singer penned several of the most heartfelt songs of his career, including “Sara,” the most overtly public broadcasting of his private life and emotions committed to tape. Straddling lines between haphazard and organized, loose and planned, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesire\u003c\/em\u003e lives up its title, a masterwork that Dylan would not equal in creativity, performance, and lyricism for another two decades.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD lays bare the catch-all ambience of the sessions as well as the unguarded emotionalism that fueled them\u003c\/strong\u003e. Largely captured at one unruly New York studio date, many songs are first-take arrangements, experienced on this reissue in a raw, realistic fashion that allows chords to swell, vocals to naturally carry, and percussion to span a seemingly bridge-wide soundstage. Accenting instruments—bouzouki, accordion, mandolin, violin, congas, piano—gain their own space and color the music with intriguing textures.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSurging with a nothing-to-lose disposition, \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesire\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e juggles myriad styles and owns up to no single theme. Disappointment and loss related to \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDylan\u003c\/strong\u003e’s broken relationship surfaces directly and metaphorically, but the album isn’t mired in depression or sadness. More often than not, it howls, the sprawling canvas needlepointed with complexity and diversity. In pairing with lyricist Jacques Levy, Dylan invites narrative collaboration he never again repeated, as well as an eclecticism that gives the effort its fascinating charm.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesire\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e finds \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDylan\u003c\/strong\u003e at an evocative peak. With the\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e tour de force\u003c\/em\u003e single “Hurricane,” he composes his first protest song in years, the enraged verses aimed squarely at maintaining the innocence of boxer \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRuben Carter\u003c\/strong\u003e, falsely convicted of murder, as a violin melody swirls in the background. He finds similar inspiration in gangster \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoey Gallo\u003c\/strong\u003e, turning “Joey” into a beautiful epic outfitted with \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmmylou Harris\u003c\/strong\u003e’ transcendent backing vocals. Flashing a sense of humor, “Mozambique” relishes an irreverent quirkiness that balances the more serious fare.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd in the nakedly biographical “Sara,” Mediterranean-flavored “One More Cup of Coffee (Valley Below),” fragile “Oh, Sister,” and swirling fable “Isis,” \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDylan develops a series of loosely related songs at once flawless, timeless, and tireless\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rarely has the folk-rock icon addressed love, romance, and loss more openly, eloquently, or universally. It’s no wonder they remain amongst the very favorites of many hardcore \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDylan\u003c\/strong\u003e enthusiasts, and account for a large reason why \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e ranks \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesire\u003c\/em\u003e the 174th Greatest Album of All Time.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666400325964,"sku":"821797211963","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/CMFSA2119__67778.jpg?v=1770371976","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/bob-dylan-desire-mfsl-sacd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
