This best-of summarizes Bob Dylan’s inexhaustible years between 1973–’89. There are hits, such as the soulful, gospel-charged “Gotta Serve Somebody,” and the stunningly lyrical and wool-sweater warm “Tangled Up in Blue,” as well as clever choices like gospel-rocker “The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar,” and “Silvio,” a glossy R&B popper written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. The rolling, ambient “Series of Dreams” and the open-hearted shuffle-rocker “Dignity” are outtakes from 1989’s Oh Mercy album sessions, two tracks that could’ve been released as singles.
