View More By Bob Dylan Our ReviewTogether Through Life is Bob Dylan's remarkable 2009 studio album (his 33rd if you're counting). Inspired by the uncluttered early rock and R&B recordings of Chess and Sun Records, the album maintains a raw power and intensity throughout. Those who’ve followed Dylan's career know he has a relentless creative drive, rarely taking time to look back and survey the past, always on a path leading to the next destination. Together Through Life is no exception. He maintains his slippery, mythical persona throughout, sounding like the storyteller at a cantina long forgotten on "Life is Hard" or a gravelly-voiced wise man on "If You Ever Go to Houston." The churning heavy groove of "Shake Mama Shake" and the juke-joint swagger of "Jolene" play up his love of that aforementioned Chess Records vibe and he turns in a late-period career gem in the form of an observational noir-like take on love entitled "Forgetful Hearts." All in all, it's a haunting, enlightened journey through a world of sinners, journeymen, and myth.. Customer ReviewsSet aside all your expectations (5 stars)Imagine you've never heard Bob Dylan before - never heard Greenwich Village Bob, protest Bob, poet Bob, surreal Bob, electric Bob, hit-maker Bob, Nashville Bob, Christian Bob, Jewish Bob, or State of the Union Bob. Imagine someone said "we just found these recordings from some obscure old blues guy no one's ever heard of living near an abandoned coal mine in Hibbing, Minnesota. Give this a listen." You'd listen to these songs with Together Through Life (5 stars) When you've finished your eighth bourbon and the cops have left, this is what you want. It's great music to black out to. Everybody in the trailer park complains when I play this, but they all listen to Tesla and Cinderella, this is real music. The kind you want to listen to when your cutting up pictures from People magazine or playing with matches. It's All Good (5 stars) OK, this is not a "classic" Bob Dylan album (it's not Blonde on Blonde or Blood on the Tracks) but it is a very good Senior Bob Dylan album. Most of the songs on Together Through Life are not lyrically deep or have the poetic beauty of classic Dylan albums, but it does remind me of the "simplicity" of Nashville Skyline. It's not the voice (Dylan's voice has been deteriorating in his old age, though it serves as a great in BiographyBorn: May 24, 1941 in Duluth, MNGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Bob Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-consciousness narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notion that a singer must have a conventionally good voice in order to perform, thereby redefining the vocalist's role in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock....
