Bob Dylan MoFi

Is Modern Times one of them?  I may have to convert to analog again.  

Uh, not necessarily a cash cow.  

Shadows in the Night is the thirty-sixth studio album by Bob Dylan, released by Columbia Records on February 3, 2015.[1] The album consists of covers of traditional pop standards made famous by Frank Sinatra, chosen by Dylan.[2] On January 23, 2015, it was announced that 50,000 free copies would be given away to randomly selected AARP The Magazine readers.[3] Dylan made "Full Moon and Empty Arms" available for free streaming online on May 13, 2014.[4]

Gosh, you don't say.  

Pretty sure Dylan was having a senior moment. IIRC AARP had an article on the Shadows in the Night album last year. Shadows, strangers, stranglers, whatever, I don’t want any of them in the night, thank you very much. Modern Times is a totally different story, though.

Pee ESS, What a phenomenally prolific, and often profound artist you are. 

Pee Ess, what's it to you?  Are you in high school?

Here’s a bunch of Dylan CDs and vinyl taken from the Unofficial Dynamic Range Database. See if you can correlate a good sounding recording of Dylan’s with Dynamic Range numbers. The number 14 is the beginning of the GOOD dynamic range. Numbers lbetween 8 and 13 are TRANSITIONAL and Less than 8 represents BAD dynamic range. The 3 numbers represent AVG, LOWEST and HIGHEST dynamic range for the recording.

The best Dylan album is actually Modern Times if you ask me. I know, who’s asking. The only little problem I have with Modern Times is that it is unfortunately one of those CDs you hear about that suffers the indignity of overly aggressive dynamic range compression. Nevertheless....
