Blood on the Tracks is the fifteenth studio album by Bob Dylan, released in 1975.After the Career Resurrection of Planet Waves and his 1974 tour with The Band, Dylan once again surprised everyone by releasing perhaps his most personal effort. The months after the tour had seen two major events in his life: his marriage to his then-wife Sara had become strained, and after years of amateur painting (including the covers of Music from Big Pink and Self Portrait), he took formal lessons with artist Norman Raeben (son of Tevye creator Sholem Aleichem). Reflecting on his life, and on Raeben's advice that honest, unexaggerated depiction of reality was the highest form of art, he crafted a set of songs that used his trademark poetic wordplay to express the emotions and feelings of love gained and lost.Initially recorded in New York as an acoustic-based album (with a few attempts at full-band arrangements), Dylan called off its release at the last minute, then re-recorded five of its ten songsnote "Tangled Up in Blue", "You're a Big Girl Now", "Idiot Wind", "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts", "If You See Her, Say Hello" in Minneapolis, with group of local musicians assembled by his brother David Zimmerman.The album is best remembered for the hit single "Tangled Up in Blue" and the fan favorites "Shelter from the Storm" and "Simple Twist of Fate". A song left off the album, "Up to Me", was released on the Biograph box set in 1985, along with the New York version of "You're a Big Girl Now". Several other alternate takes and the previously-unreleased "Call Letter Blues" were included on The Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3 in 1991. In 2018, a Bootleg Series installment devoted to the entire album sessions, called More Blood, More Tracks, was issued to great acclaim (including from Kanye West, who tweeted some of the lyrics from "Up to Me" and invited Dylan to "get together" with him).Also in 2018, Luca Guadagnino announced that he will make a film adaptation of the album, from a screenplay by Richard LaGravenese. Chloë Grace Moretz has been cast as the female lead. | |

| Blood on the Tracks (Music) / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: "Shelter From The Storm" has two references to the Crucifixion. The outtake "Up to Me" has these lines, which became Hilarious in Hindsight after his Christian conversion. | |

Concept Album: Probably the closest Dylan ever came to one (not counting his Cover Albums). The interpretation that all the songs (except "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack Of Hearts") are about the same couple is very common. | |

Ascended Meme: The cover art. Paul Till was a 20-year-old amateur photographer and Dylan fan who took a picture of him onstage at his 1974 Toronto concert, then added some darkroom effects and hand-coloring. He started selling copies and sent one unsolicited to Dylan's office. Dylan saw it and chose it for his new album. Till tells the whole story here. | |

Album Closure: "Buckets of Rain" closes with a reflective verse. But, interestingly, the Cut Song "Up to Me" sure feels like it was the song he'd originally conceived as the album closer, ending with these lines, which almost seem like Dylan's mission statement for his whole career: | |

Multiple Narrative Modes | |
| Blood on the Tracks (Music) / int_62df7833 | comment |
Multiple Narrative Modes: As originally written, the lyrics of several songs jump between third-person and first-person narration, which was a case of Dylan being influenced by Norman Raeben's painting instruction. Raeben believed that multiple perspectives were valid and could be depicted in art. "Tangled Up in Blue" at first was largely third-person. The rewritten version that ended up on the album switched it mostly to first-person, though the "Montague Street" verse (which wasn't in the original) goes into third-person. "Simple Twist of Fate" also switches from third to first at a couple key points, suggesting the song was about the Narrator All Along. | |

Epic Rocking: "Idiot Wind" and "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" both exceed the 7:00 mark. Amazingly, they were both about a minute longer in their New York iterations (and "Lily" had an extra verse that he cut for the Minnesota version). | |

Inherently Funny Words: Probably one of the reasons that Ashtabula, Ohio (population 19,000) gets mentioned in "You're Gonna Make Lonesome When You Go" (the fact that it was also referenced by Jack Kerouac and Carl Sandburg might be another reason). | |

Something Blues: The Cut Song "Call Letter Blues" has a perplexing Non-Appearing Title, since the lyrics have nothing to do with radio or TV stations. The Working Title was the more appropriate "Church Bell Blues". There's a line about "call girls", so it might have been an allusion to that. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Blood on the Tracks (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: Most of the songs have become concert mainstays, and almost all of them have gone through several rewrites over the years. As illustrated here, "Tangled Up in Blue" is probably his most tinkered-with song lyrically. He even did this during the recording sessions. "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" was also attempted as a ballad and with an almost Bluegrass-type uptempo arrangement. He also tried "Shelter from the Storm" with a jingly piano, and "Meet Me in the Morning" as a Robert Johnson-style acoustic blues piece. | |

Break-Up Song: One of the most iconic break-up albums, inspired by Dylan's marriage falling apart. Pretty much all of the songs are about failed relationships, from a one night stand in "Simple Twist Of Fate" to divorce proceedings in "Idiot Wind". | |

Four More Measures: "Tangled Up in Blue", "You're a Big Girl Now" and "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" all have intros that go on longer than you'd expect. On "Lily" it's really obvious where Bob's supposed to start singing, but he waits two more bars before he actually does. | |

The Film of the Song | |
| Blood on the Tracks (Music) / int_b9b7191f | comment |
The Film of the Song: There were two separate attempts to get a film adaptation of "Lily, Rosemary and The Jack of Hearts" greenlighted, but they never got past the scripting stage. A few years after the album came out, Dylan hired John Kaye (who later did the screenplay for Where the Buffalo Roam) to write a screenplay, but it fell into Development Hell afterwards. In 1981 a writer named James Byron wrote a screenplay called The Jack of Hearts, which dramatized the song and infused some elements of Hamlet into the story, with the Alternative Character Interpretation of the Jack of Hearts as Rosemary's long-lost son. | |

Pretender Diss: The original New York version of "Idiot Wind" has Dylan complaining about how "Imitators steal me blind". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Blood on the Tracks (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" name-drops Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud. "You're a Big Girl Now." "Love is so simple" is the Catchphrase of Garance in Children of Paradise, a film that Dylan has called one of his favorites. "I lived with them on Montague Street" in "Tangled Up in Blue". There is a Montague Street in Brooklyn, but no doubt Dylan had Romeo and Juliet in mind when he chose the name (given that the song is about a couple with disapproving parents). Also, the "Italian poet from the 13th century". Asked the identity of the poet in a 1978 interview, Dylan replied "Plutarch. Is that his name?" Presumably he was thinking of Petrarch, who actually lived in the 14th century. Give how often The Byrds did Cover Versions of Dylan songs, it's appropriate that he makes a reference to their 1970 song "Chestnut Mare" in "Idiot Wind". Doubly appropriate, since Roger McGuinn co-wrote "Chestnut Mare" with Jacques Levy, who went on to be Dylan's songwriting collaborator on Desire. | |

He even did this during the recording sessions. "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" was also attempted as a ballad and with an almost Bluegrass-type uptempo arrangement. He also tried "Shelter from the Storm" with a jingly piano, and "Meet Me in the Morning" as a Robert Johnson-style acoustic blues piece. | |

Love Nostalgia Song: "If You See Her, Say Hello", as released, is mostly this. Later live versions tend to subvert it. | |

The outtake "Up to Me" has these lines, which became Hilarious in Hindsight after his Christian conversion. | |
