  • DESIRE was the studio realization of the Rolling Thunder revue's sound. The musicians involved in this mid-'70s Dylan project were more than a backup band; they forged a distinctive musical vision, loose and swirling, the perfect aural equivalent of the traveling gypsy/carnival image they affected onstage. Drummer Howie Wyeth, who possessed an uncannily sympathetic ear for accompanying singer-songwriters, and violinist Scarlet Rivera, built their careers on the foundation of the Rolling Thunder band.
  • Many critics balked at Dylan's lyrical collaborations with Jacques Levy on this album, but their reservations were just glorified xenophobia. Levy's flowing, colloquial style suited Dylan's music and delivery perfectly, and the two produced several gems. "Isis" is an exotic tale of intrigue that turns out to be a unique love story. "Hurricane" breathlessly tells the true story of Ruben Carter, a boxer framed for murder and acquitted years after DESIRE's release. It still stands as one of Dylan's most exciting, emotional tunes.

5.0 out of 5 based on 2 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 08/10/2006

"Desire" has a huge sound, with swirling violin (courtesy of Scarlet Revera) and warm, thick guitars. Emmylou Harris does a fine job harmonising with Dylan, adding extra depth to his singing and words. The songs on here are lyrically cinematic, especially the likes of "Isis" and "Joey". "Sara" is just as heartbreaking as anything on "Blood On The Tracks" - Sara was there when he recorded it. Also be sure to get the "Rolling Thunder Revue" bootleg album - it makes a perfect companion to the treats available on "Desire".

5.0 out of 5 based on 2 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 16/02/2006

Desire’s a goodie. Hot on the heels of Blood on the Tracks, it’s a bit more cheery. Has the addition of Scarlet Riviera on violin with a basic live band jamming along. The whole album was actually cut n one night, first take, with the exception of Hurricane, which had to be re-recorded due to a court case making Bob change some lyrics. Great album, One More Cup of Coffee and Isis my favorites.
