Released on 29 August 2006, it was Dylan’s first new album of original material in five years, following \u003cem\u003e“Love And Theft”\u003c\/em\u003e, and finds him working with a tight band to create a richly textured collection rooted in blues, folk, country, rock ’n’ roll and the traditions of American popular song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eProduced by Dylan himself under his Jack Frost pseudonym, \u003cem\u003eModern Times\u003c\/em\u003e has a deliberately organic, lived-in sound. The album moves from the raucous blues-rock of “Thunder On The Mountain” and “Rollin’ And Tumblin’” to the gentle swing of “Spirit On The Water” and the reflective “When The Deal Goes Down.” Dylan is backed by musicians including Tony Garnier on bass, George Receli on drums, Denny Freeman and Stuart Kimball on guitar, with Donnie Herron contributing steel guitar, mandolin, violin and viola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe album's songwriting draws deeply on earlier American musical traditions while remaining unmistakably Dylan. “Workingman’s Blues #2” combines the language of the traditional folk song with a contemporary working-life perspective, while “Beyond The Horizon” and “Nettie Moore” explore romantic and nostalgic themes through old-fashioned melodies and arrangements. “The Levee’s Gonna Break” delivers another muscular blues performance, while the atmospheric “Ain’t Talkin’” closes the album with an extended, mysterious meditation on wandering, mortality and spiritual longing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eModern Times\u003c\/em\u003e also became one of Dylan’s most decorated albums of the period, with “Someday Baby” winning the Grammy for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance and the album receiving the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk\/Americana Album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor fans of Bob Dylan, American folk, blues, Americana, roots rock and singer-songwriter music, \u003cem\u003eModern Times\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential later-period Dylan album, balancing raw blues energy with sophisticated songwriting and a deep connection to the musical traditions that have shaped his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThunder On The Mountain – 5:55\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpirit On The Water – 7:42\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRollin' And Tumblin' – 6:01\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen The Deal Goes Down – 5:04\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSomeday Baby – 4:55\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorkingman's Blues #2 – 6:07\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeyond The Horizon – 5:36\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNettie Moore – 6:52\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Levee's Gonna Break – 5:43\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAin't Talkin' – 8:48\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0RPkJeziNyI?si=AfVUqtdZZyK7shN8\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55542031483222,"sku":"82876 87606 2","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_9e8af60b-89f0-466f-a6e8-0974728cb705.jpg?v=1790778767","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/bob-dylan-modern-times","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
