No two songs
on DOWN IN THE GROOVE come from the same session, the tone
fluctuates from raucous to pensive to somber in a
heartbeat, and former punks and hair-metal stalwarts
contribute as much to these recordings as Eric Clapton and
members of the Grateful Dead. Yet Dylan held something in
his sights, pitting covers of smoking R&B standards
against original dirges, traditional folk songs against
new proclamations that felt timeless.
Best of all were the two collaborations with Dead lyricist
Robert Hunter. "Ugliest Girl in the World" is a
bit of rocked-up whimsy. And "Silvio" has become
the '80s song Dylan has most taken to heart, performing it
nightly well into the '90s. In its form (a typical
proto-Dead roots boogie), and its content (rumination on
the honesty and integrity of longtime storytellers), it
reflects back on the song's authors. It is an anthem in
defense of a bard, written at a time when the populace
assumed this bard had lost his powers. But DOWN IN THE
GROOVE assured that even a staggering Dylan could pull
magic out of his sleeve almost at will.
