Bob Dylan "Blood On The Tracks"

"Blood on the Tracks" is Bob Dylan's fifteenth studio album, which was released on January 20, 1975, by Columbia Records. After recording two albums with Asylum Records, Bob Dylan returned to Columbia to record this album in New York City in September 1974. However, he abruptly re-recorded much of the material in a Minneapolis studio in December, just before the album's release. The final album contains five tracks from each recording session.

Initially receiving mixed reviews, "Blood on the Tracks" is now considered one of Bob Dylan's greatest albums by critics and fans alike. The album's songs have been linked to Bob Dylan's personal life, particularly his strained relationship with his wife Sara. Despite this, Dylan has denied that the songs are autobiographical.

The album was commercially successful, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts and No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart. The single "Tangled Up in Blue" also peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It has been certified double-platinum in the U.S. by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015. It has also been ranked highly in various music publications, including Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, where it was ranked No. 16 in 2003 and No. 9 in 2020.
