I had a vivid dream that I was a cowboy in the rustic ghost town, while a Bob Dylan song was playing in the background. This is my salutation to that fun dream. Bob Dylan himself has been in the music industry for such a long time, and few people have listened to that gigantic discography in its entirety. I know his more famous works, but even then there are some that just slip by.

You can immediately tell it's a Bob Dylan song, what with it's particular acoustic guitar plucking style, the voice obviously, and the harmonica. I guess, when you listen to this song, you aren't there for instrumental technique. You're there for the comforting, folk timbre and the compassionate lyrics. Granted, it's a push and pull love song, it's still a Bob Dylan song at its core.

Rating: 7.5/10

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10
