Oh Mercy is a fantastic recording and is a Dylan favorite of mine, but in terms of the music itself, Dylan's releases starting with "Time Out Of Mind" are way more interesting to me these days than his older material. As a whole, they are very adventurous musically, bringing in a variety of American roots music styles regularly to embellish a strong base in the blues. His bands and musical sensibilities these days are adventurous yet still largely impeccable IMHO. Dylan's unique vocals are probably more hit or miss for many, but a hit for me. They just fit right into the fray and make things even more interesting and engaging. And he is able to deliver lyrics that keep me interested to hear what he will say next. HE has honed his skills in incorporating irony and humor into his poetry over the years. Still often profound, sometimes just silly, but also clever, fun and engaging, infused seemingly with new insights gained with age over the years, and usually something I am able to relate to. I really admire the fact that Dylan is still producing interesting and great sounding recordings and not just resting on his laurels or doing more of the same. He has been a true chameleon over the years and has achieved a musical peak in his later years, in addition to all his other older accolades. HE is truly a musical giant! We are all fortunate that he able to continue on. No telling what he might do next. HE has been way more consistently interesting than Neil Young, another of my favorite old timers, for example over the same time period, though NEil has come up with some standout stuff as well on occasion over the years.
