Our Take
Our Take
Bob Dylan's 1990 album "Under the Red Sky" is about as chaotic as trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. With a mishmash of styles ranging from country to rock to children's music, this album leaves you scratching your head wondering what Dylan was thinking.
The opening track "Wiggle Wiggle" sounds like something you'd hear at a circus, complete with a chorus of kids chanting along. It feels like Dylan is trying to channel his inner Wiggles, but instead, ends up sounding more like a drunken uncle at a family gathering.
The album doesn't fare much better with tracks like "Handy Dandy" and "Cat's in the Well", which meander along without much purpose or direction. It's like Dylan decided to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, but unfortunately, not much does.
That being said, there are some moments of brilliance on "Under the Red Sky". The title track has a haunting beauty to it, with Dylan's vocals soaring over a simple acoustic guitar. It's a brief glimpse of the Dylan we all know and love, before he gets back to his musical grab bag of tricks.
Overall, "Under the Red Sky" is a mixed bag of an album that will leave you scratching your head and wondering what could have been. It's definitely not a high point in Dylan's discography, but hey, at least it's not as bad as "Self Portrait".

About the artist
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan, the enigmatic troubadour of the 1960s folk revival, is a name that echoes through the hallowed halls of musical history like a harmonica riff on a dusty country road. With a career spanning over six decades, Dylan has always been a shape-shifter, a chameleon of sound and style, forever evolving and defying categorization. Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota in 1941, Dylan first made waves in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s, armed with nothing but a guitar and a voice that sounded like it had seen more than its fair share of hard times. His early protest songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems for a generation searching for meaning in a tumultuous world. But Dylan was never content to rest on his laurels. He famously went electric in 1965, much to the chagrin of his diehard folk fans, and never looked back. From the raw energy of "Like a Rolling Stone" to the surreal poetry of "Desolation Row", Dylan's discography reads like a roadmap of the human experience, full of twists and turns, highs and lows. Throughout his career, Dylan has been hailed as a poet, a prophet, a genius, and a madman. His live performances are legendary for their unpredictability and their sheer audacity, with Dylan often rearranging his own songs on the fly, like a master chef experimenting with a new recipe. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Bob Dylan is a true original, a one-of-a-kind artist who refuses to be pigeonholed or tamed. And for that, we salute him.
