My Top 1000 Songs #883: Tangled Up In Blue

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.]

I've freely admitted that my actual enjoyment of Bob Dylan's music falls far short of my recognition of his particular genius. Aside from his mid-60s electric run, and the myriad covers of his songs by other artists, I rarely play his albums. I mean, I've got all his 70s work (I pretty much gave up by the mid-80s), and it's frequently great if frustrating, but there aren't a lot of songs, much less albums, I feel like hearing with any real frequency. Other than this one, a stand-out on 1975's pretty undeniable Blood On The Tracks.
