Comment: 10th none consecutive week for Taylor, so that’s impressive but how about Bob Dylan’s 28th top ten album., eh? How about that. Costello on the new Dylan: “I think it’s really, truthfully, one of the greatest records he’s ever made. It’s so soulful. He’s obviously lived with those songs in his heart for a long time, and he sings them that way.The question of whether they are the same in sound as someone else singing them is kind of idiotic. It’s the way he sounds singing them. It’s beautifully arranged, beautifully played, beautifully recorded. What more can you say? He’s written all those beautiful songs, and this shows the appreciation he has for all those great tunes as well.”
