We Say...
Recorded and released almost immediately after Self-Portrait, this is simply a modest singer-songwriter album — everything on it feels casually tossed off, the band plays with a light touch, and there are some genuinely silly things here, especially the fake hepcat-jazz recitation "If Dogs Run Free." But his natural gifts for rhyme and tune (not to mention his natural oddness) still shine through: "If Not For You" is a fake Tin Pan Alley number that went on to be memorably covered by both George Harrison and Olivia Newton-John. And, for once, Dylan sounds genuinely happy. "The Man In Me" even starts with a "la la la" chorus, and "Time Passes Slowly" and "New Morning" are both paeans to the pleasures of hanging out with a loved one, doing nothing in particular.

They Say...
Dylan rushed out New Morning in the wake of the commercial and critical disaster Self Portrait, and the difference between the two albums suggests that its legendary failed predecessor was intentionally flawed. New Morning expands on the laid-back country-rock of John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline by adding a more pronounced rock & roll edge. While there are only a couple of genuine classics on the record ("If Not for You," "One More Weekend"), the overall quality is quite high, and many of the songs explore idiosyncratic routes Dylan had previously left untouched, whether it's the jazzy experiments of "Sign on the Window" and "Winterlude," the rambling spoken word piece "If Dogs Run Free" or the Elvis parable "Went to See the Gypsy." Such offbeat songs make New Morning a charming, endearing record.
