| Bob Dylan released "Blood on
the Tracks" at a time when he and his wife Sara were going through
separation. The album is widely considered to be Dylan's deepest
and most personal work. The album covers all the different terms
of love, including loss in Tangled Up in Blue, Anger in Idiot
Wind, to acceptance in Buckets of Rain. |

Dylan went on tour to play
tracks from the album. The Rolling Thunder Revue became one of the
most iconic images of live rock and roll in the history of popular
music. Resembling a gypsy carousel, the band (including Scarlet
O'Hara, whom Dylan picked up from the streets to play with)
stormed into various arena's around the country playing a wild
myriad of music. |
| The simple twist of fate in
the tale, is that halfway through the tour, Sara Dylan actually
joined up with the Rolling Thunder Revue. This prompted Dylan to
write a lament called "Sara" in which he renews his love for her.
Unfortunately, this didn't quite pan out, leading to perhaps the
angriest renditions ever of Idiot Wind. |
