once there was a time where bob didn't have much to say, and the results were one of the odder of dylan albums. odd in that it was a soundtrack and that it was almost lyrically barren... fitting the setting of the Peckinpah western it was scored for. dylan also had a cameo role in the film, a character named Alias, a knife throwing specialist who mutters only a handlful of lines. bob fan or not, it's worth a watch... and the album is strangely addicting. enjoy.

Interesting. This is a side of Bob I never heard before, and I thought I'd seen them all. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" sounds different in this context.
This album reminds me of another (imo, better) western soundtrack made by a rock musician in the early 70s, "The Hired Hand" by Bruce Langhorne.
