Down In The Groove
''Down in the Groove'' is the 25th studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on May 30, 1988 by Columbia Records. A highly collaborative effort, it was Dylan's second consecutive album to receive almost unanimously negative reviews. Released during a period when his recording career was experiencing a slump, sales were disappointing, reaching only number 61 in the US and number 32 in the UK. Recording and reception "Even by Dylan standards, this album has had a strange, difficult birth," wrote ''Rolling Stone'' critic David Fricke. "Its release was delayed for more than half a year, and the track listing was altered at least three times. If the musician credits are any indication, the songs that made the final cut come from half a dozen different recording sessions spread out over six years." Like its predecessor ''Knocked Out Loaded'', Dylan once again used more collaborators than normal. In a review published in his ''Consumer Guide'' column, Robert Chris ...
