Bob Dylan’s Love and Theft
Coverage from American Songwriter, Paste Magazine, and others
Released on September 11, 2001, Love and Theft is a self-produced Bob Dylan album recorded largely live with musicians from his Never Ending Tour band.
Its songs draw on blues, folk, rockabilly, country, jazz, Tin Pan Alley, vaudeville, and other American traditions, while tracks such as “Mississippi,” “High Water,” and “Floater” showcase Dylan’s narrative and lyrical experimentation. The album’s reception has been shaped by its place after Time Out of Mind, its coincidence with the September 11 attacks, major critical and Grammy recognition, and debate over lyrical similarities involving “Floater” and Junichi Saga’s Confessions of a Yakuza.
