Number 1: S1 Ep3: 'Modern Times'
On this episode we look at one of Bob's best albums in this later stage of his career, an album that feels strangely confident and striding but with a sense of age and death. It would be a highly controversial album too.

Number 4: S1 Ep6: 'Blood On The Tracks Pt.1'
On this episode we look at a huge album, so big in fact it cannot be contained on just one episode, so this is the first of our looks at Blood On The Tracks. Here I discuss the first two tracks and the lead up in Dylan's life and career to the albums recording. Not only that but I'm sure we can all agree this is our finest photoshop of album artwork so far!

Number 5: S1 Ep5: 'Infidels'
On this episode we look at the album that saw Bob return to secular music after his infamous Christian period. It would be a watershed moment in his career. Here's Dylan's brilliant 'Jokerman' Letterman performance mentioned in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP85Uc6H79U and the rehearsal for the show too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP--PD1BcGE The quotes in this episode came from Clinton Heylin's excellent book 'Behind the Shades' which you can buy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behind-Shades-Anniversary-Clinton-Heylin/product-reviews/0571272401/ref=cmcrdpdhist2?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=twostar&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar Don't forget to follow us on social media: instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobdylanpodcast/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/bobdylanpodcast https://twitter.com/benburrell (I don't own the music) Thanks for listening!
