I tried to listen to this one with an open mind. I know The Wallflowers never did anything for me. And Bob Dylan? Listening to his vocals is like having all your hair pulled out with pliers. I do have to admit that the musicianship is solid throughout on this release. But nothing here piqued my interest. "I Told You I Couldn't Stop" is one of the song titles. This is unfortunate for anyone who has to listen to this more than once. Rick Rubin is just cashing a paycheck here - no Neil Diamond make-over on this turkey.
