Reviews
"...WORLD GONE WRONG proves that a good song is timeless, universal and all those other worthy labels....It shows Dylan's musical coming round full circle...", "...singing traditional blues on acoustic guitar, with occasional harmonica, Dylan is in his element...", "...IN WORLD GONE WRONG Dylan demonstrates that he can say more in someone else's song than most artists can say in their own....", 7 (out of 10) - "...most of these ten tracks vibrate with a genuinely spooked vibe which has strong, organic links to Dylan's hobo youth....Dylan proves he can still turn in the best Dylan impersonation around....", Rating: A-, Ranked #23 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll., "A vivid and authentic evocation of the roots of Dylan's own music. With hindsight, it also played an essential part in the resurrection of his muse.", 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...WORLD GONE WRONG is as good as GOOD AS I'VE BEEN TO YOU. If he chose to, Bob Dylan could produce three or four such albums every month for the next hundred years...", "...a fitting follow-up to last year's GOOD AS I BEEN TO YOU and another remarkably strong showing....", Highly Recommended - "...On WORLD GONE WRONG, Dylan's cranky larynx regains its ideal balance....Dylan's vocals float across melodies, his burred timbre gently chafing notes instead of shredding them..."
