It's a classic, no doubt. Lotta good tunes on that album: "Not Dark Yet," "Cold Irons Bound," and "Trying to Get to Heaven", among others.

Post-70s Dylan often gets overlooked, but he recorded dozens of amazing tunes during that (continuing) era.

I really thought he was going to pull the plug after "Time Out of Mind." I just had this feeling in each song that he was saying: "This is it. I've said everything I needed to say." Was it just me?

I think "Highlands" is a classic, up there with "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." It has one of the best endings to a Dylan song:

The sun is beginning to shine on me
But it's not like the sun that used to be
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I got new eyes
Everything looks far away

Well, my heart's in the Highlands at the break of day
Over the hills and far away
There's a way to get there, and I'll figure it out somehow
But I'm already there in my mind
And that's good enough for now
