Picked this up the other day - it's fantastic. This and his last two albums pretty much make up for his whole 80's period which even Dylan himself admits was his nadir. He feels as comfortable on Modern Times as he did on any of his best 60's work. His voice is shot to shit, but it's full of gravel and dust, it's perfectly suited for the blues. He really has nothing to prove to anybody, the man's an absolute genius.
