Bob Dylan in Boalsburg / Pennsylvania

REVIEWS

Review by Peter Stone Brown
As for the band, the recent changes are definitely for the better. Kemper is a much more sympathetic drummer. Gone is the thunderous bombast of Winston Watson's often over-powering drumming. Kemper has a much better clue to the roots of Dylan's music, following his quirky changes closely and playing what's necessary and rarely what isn't. In Larry Campbell, Dylan easily has his best on-stage guitar player since 1974. GE Smith could play, but he was a hack and a ham, and rarely played what was right for a song, preferring to show off speed and dexterity over taste. Jackson on the other hand had a contagious enthusiasm and was a risk-taker, but ultimately he came off as second-best. In Campbell, Dylan finally has a professional guitarist who knows what to leave out and who has that all-important understanding of the roots of the music, whether country, rock or blues and what the appropriate guitar lick and/or style is to play to accompany that song and do it in a way that puts taste and the song first. It's about time.
