Time Out Of Mind followed 20 years in which Dylan was not always loved. In this episode we look at his career from 1977 through 1996 to understand where he was and to highlight how remarkable a comeback this album really was. We'll revisit the less successful years and see how his relationship with fans, the press, and the culture had changed, and how it was impacted by the release of Time Out Of Mind.

We've lived for 25 years in which Dylan is universally revered - and the other period we hear about is the 60's and early 70's, when he was at the peak of his power and fame. This episode talks about the time between those two, when Dylan was out of favor, out of ideas, and low on energy. It was the land before TOOM.
