Description

The 1970 Dylan album Self Portrait was never considered one of Dylan’s masterpieces. It was universally panned when it came out and even made it onto some Worst Albums Of All Time lists over the years. More recently, it has been given some 5 star reviews by revisionists. The truth is somewhere in the middle. It is worse that any of the albums that Dylan put out before this, but it’s not a terrible album. There are covers of songs by the likes of The Everly Brothers, Gordon Lightfoot and Simon And Garfunkel. These are actually fairly entertaining. As for the new songs that Dylan wrote himself for the album, they aren’t as good as his classic songs, but they aren’t bad either. There was one single released from the album, the instrumental Wigwam, which became a minor hit. Whatever might be wrong with this album, it’s still an album that every Dylan fan must hear.
