Amazon.com By 1970, after his infamous motorcycle accident and a mess of an album called Self-Portrait, Dylan had lost his remarkable consistency, but not his talent. New Morning, a collection of songs that lacks the urgency of the singer's '60s material or the country cohesiveness of Nashville Skyline, is nonetheless rewarding in a laid-back way. Dylan, still affecting his low Johnny Cash imitation, sings strongly on the piano-heavy "Winterlude." "If Not For You and "Time Passes Slowly," which never became signature songs by any means, are two of his most underrated performances. Cocktail jazz piano and Martha Stewart's background scat-singing on "If Dogs Run Free" add to the album's experimental spirit. --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:
Justt beyond the Nashville SkylineOctober 13, 2008 R-(Akron, OH) I was looking for a Dylan album that was similar in mood and music to Nashville Skyline. This meets expectations. My favorite tunes are New Morning and Man in Me. Great music for the fall.
New MorningOctober 9, 2008 Bjorn Viberg(European Union) New Morning being the 11 studio album and it was relased by Columbia Records in 1970. This is a good example of Bob Dylan being more laid back. Gone is the politics and anger of his earlier releases. On this album we hear Dylan having fun and I love the track If not for you. I really like the cover photo of Dylan. For once Dylan has picked a competent photographer, i.e., Len Siegler. 4/5.
Taking himself less seriouslySeptember 15, 2008 OneLove(so fla) While not as finely tuned as some of his stronger compositions, this period shows Dylan having some fun again. It is certainly not amongst his most convincing offerings, but there is a genuine spirit in most tracks, even if he was recycling some past ideas.
his best, by farSeptember 10, 2008 tom(iowa) i love this album. in fact, it's the only dylan album i listen to. i'd have to say it's one of my top 10 favorite albums. reccommended without reservation. by the way, there's an import version that came out recently that sounds wonderful. costs under $20.
HikesalotAugust 12, 2008 W. Jacobsen(Pennsylvania) Ranked against Dylan's own music I give this 4 stars, but ranked against a lot other popular music I give it a 5.
