Bob Dylan - Self Portrait
Bore paints badly! (ROTFL!)



Notes
  1. In an interview with Cameron Crowe, Dylan says, "I did this portrait for the cover....I knew somebody who had some paints and a square canvas, and I did the cover up in about five minutes. And I said, 'Well, I'm gonna call this album Self Portrait.'"

Bob Dylan - Hard Rain (Columbia, 1976)

Bob Dylan - Hard Rain
Ordinary band. Blah.



Notes
  1. "Ordinary band." If you don't believe us, maybe you'll believe the Internet: "Hard Rain...seemed to come at a time when the Rolling Thunder Revue, so joyful and electrifying in its first performances, had just plain run out of steam," wrote Janet Maslin, then a music critic for Rolling Stone magazine. In his mixed review for Hard Rain, Robert Christgau criticized the Rolling Thunder Revue as "folkies whose idea of rock and roll is rock and roll clichés."
