OK, so the movie to which it’s attached has been denigrated by most of the critics who’ve reviewed it. The soundtrack itself is a marvel that stands just fine on its own. Start with the four tracks by Dylan himself, including bristling new versions of "Cold Irons Bound" and "Down in the Flood" recorded with his remarkable touring band. Add gospel heavyweights Shirley Caesar shouting "Gotta Serve Somebody" and the Dixie Hummingbirds offering country-soul salvation in "City of Gold." But these and performances by Los Lobos and the Grateful Dead are just a warm-up for the CD’s more inspired third: Dylan covers by a variety of obscure international artists. There’s a Japanese language version of "My Back Pages" courtesy of the Magokoro Brothers , an Italian hip-hop take on "Like a Rolling Stone" ("Come Una Pietra Scalciata!") by Articolo 31), a beguiling, string-driven "One More Cup of Coffee" from Turkish pop star Sertab Erener, and a gentle, spoken-word "Most of the Time" by Swedish singer Sophie Zelmani. Oddly, this loopy, polyglot approach stands as a truer testament to Dylan’s genius than the atrocious dialogue (two snippets of which mar an otherwise fine album) or self-conscious artiness of the movie. --Keith Moerer

Reader Reviews
For all you Bob Dylan fans, this is a must have film soundtrack "Masked and Anonymous", featuring Dylan, Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, John Goodman, Bruce Dern, Val Kilmer and Jessica Lange about one epic fundraising concert ~ starring the legendardy artist/songwriter Jack Fate (played by Bob Dylan) who incidently is serving a prison term...what a cast of entertainers and the song cues are even better ~ just give them a listen. Some stand outs are "DOWN IN THE FLOOD(NEW VERSION)", "DIAMOND JOE", "DIXIE", "COLD IRONS BOUND (NEW VERSION)" featuring Bob Dylan's signature style that just keeps coming at you. But the highlight is "GOTTA SERVE SOMEBODY", performed by Shirley Caesar with blends of gospel and heavenly voices of a chorus that will send musical vibes straight to your soul. Entire album has cues that will bring the house down, if you're into what the masses are talking about ~ this is a collection keeper ~ all songs, words and music by Bob Dylan...gotta love it! Total Time: 66:29 on 14 Tracks ~ Sony 90536 ~ (7/22/2003) Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
