Bob Dylan Under the Red Sky (CD)

Released just months before Stevie Ray Vaughan’s death in August 1990, *Under the Red Sky* holds one of his final studio appearances. The nursery rhyme quality that puzzled critics on release has since drawn reappraisal as quintessentially Dylanesque misdirection, consistent with his long habit of wrong-footing listeners right when they think they have him figured out.

Under the Red Sky is the twenty-seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on September 10, 1990 by Columbia Records.

The album was largely greeted as a strange and disappointing follow-up to 1989’s critically acclaimed Oh Mercy. Most of the criticism was directed at the slick sound of pop producer Don Was, as well as a handful of tracks that seem rooted in children’s nursery rhymes.

It is a rarity in Dylan’s catalog for its inclusion of celebrity cameos by Jimmie Vaughan, Slash, Elton John, George Harrison, David Crosby, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Bruce Hornsby.
