Melancholy Mood

Bob Dylan

Four standards delivered with a weathered, late-night rasp. A masterclass in restraint, trading folk grit for the smoky intimacy of a 1940s jazz lounge.

It's Bob Dylan as a 1940s lounge singer, and it's surprisingly gorgeous.

A weary, smoke-filled reflection on love and time that feels both ancient and intimate.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The weary, gravelly sustain on the final note of the title track.
The way the upright bass locks into a skeletal, hypnotic groove on All or Nothing at All.
The surprising lightness of the brushwork on the drums during That Old Black Magic.
