Bob Dylan- OH MERCY- CD- 1989/2003- Sony Music Entertainment Inc.- 5099751234326- 400 grn
OH MERCY is the twenty-sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on 12th September 1989, by Columbia Records. It was hailed as a triumph for Dylan, after a string of poorly reviewed albums. OH MERCY gave Dylan his best chart showing in years. The photo on the cover of the album shows a mural that Dylan came across on a wall of a Chinese restaurant in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen on 9th Avenue and 53rd Street. The artist, Trotsky, who created the image of two people dancing was located (he lived near the mural) and permission was granted. In 2011 the mural was replaced by yet another mural, this time in-keeping with the Country Grill Restaurant's country flavors, featuring a farm and vineyard. In 1989 Bob Dylan appeared to be a busted flush, the God bothering had faded and the glory decades were long gone but he at the helm OH MERCY smashed any preconceptions of creative malaise and delivered his most vital work for years. Just as Neil Young was staging a comeback so too was Bob. The old guard reminding everyone what songwriting should be and what it could deliver. For many OH MERCY was a gateway drug to both Dylan and the genre of americana. It is a genuine classic album that stands up to repeated listens. OH MERCY is, to a certain extent, the blueprint for most of the albums that have followed this one, including the superior follow-ups Time Out Of Mind and "Love And Theft". OH MERCY, despite its inconsistency, was a refreshing break for a decade and a half of mediocre to downright dreadful music and it paved the way for his late-career resurgence.

What a funny fellow this Bob Dylan is. Throughout all the years, no album of Dylan’s is a puzzling as OH MERCY. In order to fully understand OH MERCY, you have to look at it in three different ways: what OH MERCY is, what OH MERCY is not, and what OH MERCY could have been. OH MERCY was hailed as a comeback, not just because it had songs noticeably more meaningful than anything Bob Dylan had recently released and this gave it cohesion. There was cohesion on Empire Burlesque, of course, but that cohesion was a little too slick, a little too commercial, whereas this record was filled with atmospheric, hazy production - a sound as arty as most assumed the songs to be. And Dylan followed suit, giving significant songs -- palpably social works, love songs, and poems - that seemed to connect with his past. And, at the time, this production made it seem like the equivalent of his '60s records, meaning that its artiness was cutting edge, not portentous. Over the years, OH MERCY hasn't aged particularly well, seeming as self-conscious, even though it makes more sense than the ersatz pizzazz of Empire Burlesque. Still, the songs make OH MERCY noteworthy. They find Dylan quietly raging against the materialism of President Reagan and accepting maturity, albeit with a slight reluctance. So, OH MERCY is finally more interesting for what it tries to achieve than for what it actually does achieve. At its best, this is a collection of small, shining moments, with the best songs shining brighter than their production or the album's overall effect. Every release from Bob is an actual step in the direction of his life... You can only wonder what he sees, what he's headed toward.
