Bob Dylan's Hidden Gems: Underrated Albums You Should Know

Bob Dylan has a massive discography, but some albums often go unnoticed. Let's dive into five underrated records that deserve more love. 1. "Another Side of Bob Dylan" (1964) Sandwiched between classics like "The Times They Are a-Changin'" and "Bringing It All Back Home, " this album sometimes gets overlooked. Yet, it's packed with personal and meaningful songs like "Chimes of Freedom" and "My Back Pages. " 2. "New Morning" (1970) After Dylan's motorcycle accident, he took a step back from the spotlight. "New Morning" is a laid-back record that marks his return to his nasally sound. It's a beloved album among fans, but often skipped over in broader conversations. 3. "Shot of Love" (1981) During Dylan's born-again Christian phase, he released three religious albums. "Shot of Love" is often dismissed, but it's a hard rock gem with a standout track, "Every Grain of Sand. " 4. "Good As I Been To You" (1992) In the '80s and '90s, Dylan faced creative struggles. But with "Good As I Been To You, " he went back to his folk roots, covering traditional songs. This album rejuvenated his career and paved the way for his acclaimed comeback. 5. "Love and Theft" (2001) Overshadowed by the 9/11 attacks, this album didn't get the attention it deserved. Tracks like "Mississippi" and "Summer Days" showcase Dylan's Blues expertise and poetic prowess even in his later years. These albums might not be Dylan's most famous, but they showcase his versatility and longevity.
