Bob Dylan - Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 1980-1985 (2021)

If Bob Dylan’s Bootleg series of archival releases — now in its fourth decade — has taught fans anything, it’s that preconceived notions about his catalog are often proven erroneous. Entries such as Vol. 10: Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) and Vol. 13: Trouble No More 1979-1981 offered substantive counterarguments for the criticism the source albums received. Vol. 16: Springtime in New York 1980-1985 begins with the thoroughly slagged final outing in his Christian trilogy, Shot of Love (1981), and continues through the more warmly greeted albums Infidels (1983) and Empire Burlesque (1985). It reveals the many musical directions Dylan was traveling in simultaneously. Over 57 tracks and five discs, his sometimes radical experimentation with musicians (Sly & Robbie served as the rhythm section on Infidels), material, and production styles posits that he was seeking a way forward not out of restlessness but because he was lost — he would release the execrable Knocked Out Loaded and Down in the Groove over the next few years. ― Allmusic
