It's been observed that the road to Time Out Of Mind began when Dylan recorded two solo acoustic albums in the early 90's. Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong were yet another unexpected twist in Dylan's path, but by playing alone, at home, on songs he'd known for years, the feeling is Bob reconnected with some important basics that allowed him to regroup and then go forward to write the amazing songs that came out in the late 90's and through the 2000's. In this first episode of Season Two, we start our look at these two albums, placing them in time, hearing a bit about what it was like to make them, and rediscovering the first reactions of some well known critics and reviewers. A special highlight of this episode is an interview with GAIBTY and WGW engineer Micajah Ryan. This interview was done in 2017 by Brian Sword of The Double Stop podcast. In the full interview Micajah talks about his entire career for about 90 minutes, but here we just feature some of his discussion of working with Bob Dylan. Big thanks to The Double Stop podcast and Brian Sword for permission to include that interview in this episode. Later in the episode we look at what Stereophile, RollingStone, Entertainment Weekly, and some other prominent reviewers said about GAIBTY in their initial reviews. We'll look at WGW reviews in an upcoming episode. We'll continue this dive into Good As I Been To You and World Gone Wrong for the next batch of episodes, looking more closely at the songs, the time, the live shows, and the legacy of these great records.
