Another great personal Dylan album, Desire captures Dylan at the beginning of his Rolling Thunder Revue era. Folk, rock, Middle Eastern themes, and epic narratives, the album is a pop staple throughout.

A wild collection of styles result in an album that ranks in the top of all Dylan efforts. It rambles, rocks, and thunders; the sheer energy is just infectious. Its best-known track and album opener "Hurricane", is quickly followed by the hypnotic "Isis" and breezy "Mozambique".
