Desire
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
Desire · This album was released in January 1976, between two legs of the Rolling Thunder Revue, and is one of Bob Dylan's most collective records. The idea of having a band of his own came in the summer of 1975, when he saw Patti Smith and her group play in New York. He met the violinist Scarlet Rivera on the street and asked her to play with him. He wrote most of the lyrics together with Jacques Levy, and Emmylou Harris sang along.
The record consists of long narrative songs. Hurricane, the opener, protests against the conviction of the boxer Rubin Carter, whom the song says was innocent. Joey lasts eleven minutes and caused an uproar because it was said to glorify the gangster Joey Gallo. The album followed Blood on the Tracks, was well received and was very successful in England and America.
