Shortly after the controversial album Self Portrait Dylan released New Morning which expands on the laid-back-country-rock of John Wesley Harding (MOVLP246) by adding a bit more rock & roll.
Besides the hits "If Not For You" and "One More Weekend", Dylan explores some peculiar paths during the tracks of this album. He's experimenting with Jazz-sounds on "Sign On The Window" and "Winterlude", Rockabilly in "Went To See The Gypsy" and even spoken word in "If Dogs Run Free".
In the US New Morning reached #7 going gold and in the UK it even bumped Led Zeppelin III from the number one position.
Being one of the most versatile albums of Mr. Dylan this is a beautiful expansion of the Music On Vinyl catalogue!
• 180 grams audiophile vinyl
• This album reached #7 in the US and #1 in the UK (1970)
• "If Not For You" is a widely covered hit by the likes of a.o Byan Ferry, George Harrison & Olivia Newton John (who scored a #1 hit with her cover)
