Desire is the seventeenth studio album by Bob Dylan, released in January 1976.Partly co-written with Jacques Levy, and recorded with Dylan's future touring band The Rolling Thunder Revue, featuring a then mostly unknown Emmylou Harris on backup vocals, the album was inspired by his (then) temporary split from his wife and return to his old neighborhood in Greenwich Village, where the music scene had changed since the early days of the folk revival; one inspiration for putting his band together was seeing the Patti Smith Group play. The result was yet another New Sound Album.The album is mostly remembered for the furious Protest Song "Hurricane", an account of the arrest and trial of boxer Rubin Carter who was serving a life sentence for a 1966 triple murder (and would go on to be acquitted in 1985). It became Dylan's third consecutive studio album to hit #1 on the Billboard chart (following Planet Waves and Blood on the Tracks).Odd trivia note: the coat Dylan wears in the cover photo was a hand-me-down given to him by Dennis Hopper. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Desire (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Not the album itself, but the surrounding tour. The autumn 1975 tour, as captured on The Bootleg Series vol 5, was generally playful, optimistic and theatrical. Then Dylan's marriage fell apart completely, and the spring tour, as captured on the live album Hard Rain, was ragged and angry, with "Hurricane" and "Sara" replaced with "Maggie's Farm" and "Idiot Wind". | |

Protest Song | |
| Desire (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: "Hurricane" was a surprising return to Ripped from the Headlines material for Dylan, after mostly staying away from what he called "finger-pointing songs" since 1964's Another Side of Bob Dylan. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Desire (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Keeping the acoustic feel of Blood on the Tracks, but with a much more ragged and passionate feel, less personal lyrics (except for "Sara"), and with Scarlet Rivera's violin and Emmylou Harris' vocals taking up a lot of room. | |

My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting | |
| Desire (Music) / int_2c5bfae3 | comment |
My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: The song "Hurricane" criticizes the imprisonment of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer falsely accused of murder and tried by an all-white jury. Dylan's song actually raised awareness of this man's false imprisonment and made people do the trial over, which would eventually lead to Carter's release. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Desire (Music) / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: "Joey". Especially egregious as "Crazy" Joey Gallo had only been dead for a couple of years at the time. Dylan said that the song was meant to be an ironic revival of the folk song glorfication of outlaws, noting that the famous song "Jesse James" was a folk song classic despite being sentimental glorfication of the brutal Jesse James. | |

Downer Ending: "Hurricane" ends with Rubin locked in the living Hell of prison while the real murderers drink martinis. He'll never get the chance to be the champion of the world now. "Black Diamond Bay" ends with the volcano erupting and killing everyone. "Romance In Durango" ends with the narrator being fatally shot. "Joey" ends with Joey being gunned down in a restaurant. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Desire (Music) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Several of the parts of "Hurricane" are somewhat inaccurate to how events really transpired. Among these examples: Alfred Bello was not looting the cash register when Patty Valentine came down the stairs to investigate the shooting. He was walking nearby with a plan to rob a sheet metal factory and entered when he heard the shots. If he did take money from the cash register, it was only to call police. Rubin Carter was, at the time of the affair, the number 9 contender, not the number 1 contender. When Carter was taken to Willie Marins, the man who survived the shooting, Marins did not say that Carter was definitely not the shooter, saying "I don't know" when asked if Carter was the shooter. | |
