Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Dylan had been working with The Band occasionally for almost ten years by the time Planet Waves, the first official release with the group backing him, was released in 1974. It's a solid effort with a brace of great songs ("Forever Young", "Something There Is About You"), even if the playing never rises to the fire and energy of The Basement Tapes or some of the combination's legendary live bootlegs. As he wrote Planet Waves, Dylan was at the beginning of the emotional powerslide that would result in Blood on the Tracks, so the songs veer from the bitterness of "Dirge" to the sweet hope of "Wedding Song". --Michael Ruby

4.0 out of 5 stars Unfairly overlooked Dylan/Band album., 13 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Planet Waves (Audio CD)

I picked this up in a bargain bin in Canada 2 years ago and not being too familiar with Dylan's 70's stuff, was expecting some crap. Not so. This album is good from start to end and was a breath of fresh air to me, being more familiar with the intense 60's Bob. The music sounds spontaneous - indeed the album was recorded in just 3 days. There is pretty funky stuff like 'Tough Mama' as well as some of Dylan's best acoustic work, like 'Wedding Song'. The highlight is 'Forever Young' of which there are two versions - the one familiar to anyone who's seen 'The Last waltz' and the C&W version.

A good album, but not quite as good as his monumental ones. Definitely worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his best albums, 13 Dec 2006
Many of Bob's albums are best valued in retrospect. Planet Waves is an amazing album. The Band plays well. One should not always compare with other performances, better then to focus on the music itself. I will ask you to take special notice of the song "Never Say Goodbye" on this album. It takes a few times of listening to get it under your skin - and then: It just grabs you. Everything is right in this, albeit short, wonderful song. Bob starts singing as if he is about to fall asleep, or is hypnotised - dark, soft, and then he sings up, delievering some beautiful lines (you're beautiful beyond words. you're beautiful to me - you could make me cry, never say goodbye) I recognize magic when I see and hear it - and this song floods over.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Underated Masterpiece, 13 April 2005
Many people would say that the best albumn you get with Bob Dylan and the Band together is the "Basement Tapes" but I disagree. This albumn has real feeling and a gutsey groove to it and really grows on you with time as the greatness of this albumn gradually unfurls itself before your ears.

The only poor track is the opener: "On a night like this". It really doesn't seem to fit in with the rest, but after that it just gets better and better. "Hazel", "Something there is about you", "You angel you" and "Never say goodbye" are all beautiful love songs. The two versions of "Forever Young" are vastly different approaches and are great in different ways.

"The Wedding Song" is a passionate profession of his love (for Sara perhaps?) but is touched by bitter sweet overtones as he moves to and throw between major and minor chords. "Dirge", accompanying himself on the piano, is a bitter, regretful reflection on his love (again perhaps for Sara?) that appears to be over.

Don't lightly disregard this albumn; it has real depth of character.
