Bob Dylan’s Love and Theft
Coverage from American Songwriter, Tinnitist, and others
Released on September 11, 2001, Love and Theft is a Bob Dylan album produced under his Jack Frost pseudonym and recorded largely with musicians from his touring band.
Its loose, ensemble-driven sound draws on blues, folk, rockabilly, swing, Tin Pan Alley, and other American traditions, while songs such as Mississippi, High Water, and Floater range across humor, narrative, and social commentary. The album followed Time Out of Mind and earned lasting critical and institutional recognition. Its history also includes discussion of lyrical similarities between Floater and passages in Junichi Saga’s Confessions of a Yakuza.
