UNDER THE RED SKY is the twenty-seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on 10th September 1990, by Columbia Records. The album was largely greeted as a disappointing follow-up to 1989's acclaimed Oh Mercy. Most of the criticism was directed at the slick sound of rock producer Don Was, as well as a handful of tracks that seem rooted in children's nursery rhymes. It is a rarity in Dylan's catalog for its inclusion of celebrity cameos by Jimmie Vaughan, Slash, Elton John, George Harrison, David Crosby, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Bruce Hornsby. The album is dedicated to "Gabby Goo Goo", now thought to be Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan, Dylan's daughter by Carolyn Dennis, born on January 31, 1986. UNDER THE RED SKY was a record that seemed like a conscious recoil from depth and atmosphere. This record feels a little ephemeral, a collection of songs that Dylan didn't really care that much about. In a way, that makes album a little easier to warm to than its predecessor, since it has a looseness that suits him well, especially with songs this deliberately lightweight. As such, UNDER THE RED SKY is certainly lightweight, but rather appealing in its own lack of substance, since Dylan has never made a record so breezy, apart from, maybe, Down In The Groove. That doesn't make it a great, or even good, record, but it does have its own charms.

Many Dylan fans have an ''undiscovered gem'' album - one that they avoided and didn't expect to be very good, and yet when they finally listened to it were impressed with how unexpectedly great it turned out to be. For your it's this one. It's not hard to see why many people don't like this, because it is a pop album. The shiny, jaunty production drives the album along at a snappy pace and sets up a fine contrast with Dylan's hoarse sandpaper vocals, maybe some of his raspiest vocal performances ever. At the same time the apparent superficiality of the whole exercise makes the tough obscure lyrics a nice surprise. Despite the presence of plenty of special guests there is no showboating, things are kept tight and punchy and the focus remains where it always does on any Dylan album, on the man himself. Several tracks sound like they were based on nursery rhymes -- which is kinda cute, since the album appears to have been dedicated to his young daughter, but children's songs were one place where Dylan couldn't outpace his hero, Woody Guthrie. And if Dylan, like Guthrie, had gone all in with making an actual children's album, it might've worked out better. Dylan obviously didn't spend much time on the lyrics for this album, and the music isn't revelatory, but the songs by and large are actually fairly good. But, for what it is, it's all well played. It would have to be. Just look at the guest list. If anybody else published such a strong album with so strong songs on it now, he or she would be hailed as genius. There's no reason for downrating this, just because everybody knows that Bob Dylan is a genius.
