Sobre el álbum
El álbum Down in the Groove es ampliamente considerado como uno de los puntos más bajos en la carrera de Bob Dylan. Lanzado en 1988, el disco es una colección desarticulada de versiones y algunas composiciones originales de menor calibre. Carece de una visión o un concepto claro, y se siente más como una obligación contractual que como una declaración artística. La producción es típica de finales de los ochenta, con un sonido a menudo sintético y sin la calidez de sus mejores trabajos.
Incluso la participación de músicos invitados de renombre no logra salvar el proyecto de una sensación de apatía general. Sin embargo, dentro de la mezcla, se pueden encontrar algunos momentos rescatables, como su versión de "Rank Strangers to Me". Pese a ello, 'Down in the Groove' es un trabajo menor que, afortunadamente, fue seguido por el renacimiento artístico de 'Oh Mercy'.

Letra
When you're sad and lonely And you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end And all that you hell sacred Falls down and dows not bend Just remember that death is not the end. Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end. When you're standing at the cross-roads That you cannot comprehend Just remember that death is not the end And all your dreams have vanished And you don't know what's up the bend Just remember that death is not the end. Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end. When storm clouds gather round you And heavy rains descend Just remember that death is not the end And there's nowhere there to comfort you With a helping hand to lend Just remember that death is not the end. Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end. Oh the tree of life is growing Where the spirit never dies And the bright light of salvation Shines in dark and empty skies When the cities are on fire When the burning flesh of men Just remember that death is nt the end And you search in vain to find Just one law abiding citizen Just remember that death is not the end. Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end. - Had A Dream About You, Baby2:49
Letra
I got to see you, baby, I don't care It may be some place, baby, you say you where I had a dream about you, baby A dream about you, baby Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind. You got the crazy rhythm when you walk You make me nervous when you start to talk I had a dream about you, baby A dream about you, baby Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind. Standin' on the highway, you flag me down Said, take me, daddy to the nearest town I had a dream about you, baby Had a dream about you, baby Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind. The join is jumpin' it's really somethin' The beat is pumpin', my heart is thumpin' Spent my money on you honey My limbs are shakin', my heart is breakin' You kiss me, baby, in the coffee shop You made me so bad, you gotta stop I had a dream about you, baby Had a dream about you, baby Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind. The join in jumpin' it's really somethin' The beat is pumpin', my heart is thumpin' Spent my money on you honey My limbs are shakin', my heart is breakin' You had a white rag wrapped around your head Wearing a long dress fire engine red I had a dream about you, baby Had a dream about you, baby Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind. - Ugliest Girl In The World3:30
