We Say...
A document of the 1976 leg of the Rolling Thunder tour, Hard Rain debuted yet another side of Bob Dylan: an entertainer with murder in his eyes, playing good-time rock 'n' roll with a horse's head hidden inside it. Released to coincide with a live TV special, it's the slickest-sounding album he'd ever made, bubbling arena rock with quicksilver glam-rock guitars (the band featured five guitarists, including T-Bone Burnett and Mick Ronson). The repertoire, though, focuses on the vituperative resignations and half-contemptuous love songs in his catalogue, and his performances twist them into something even darker than their original form — "Idiot Wind," in particular, becomes a ten-minute thunderstorm of bitter rage.

They Say...
Hard Rain is a snapshot of Bob Dylan's fabled Rolling Thunder Revue, a traveling circus that was more notable for its excess and character than the music. There are some new interpretations along the lines of what appeared on Before the Flood. A few of the new versions hit home and Dylan is generally spirited throughout.
