''Time Out of Mind'' is the thirtieth studio album by the American musician Bob Dylan, released on September 30, 1997, by Columbia Records. It was his first double studio album (on vinyl) since ''Self Portrait'' in 1970. It was also released as a single CD. For some fans and critics, the album marked Dylan's artistic comeback after he appeared to struggle with his musical identity throughout the 1980s; he hadn't released any original material for seven years, since ''Under the Red Sky'' in 1990. ''Time Out of Mind'' is hailed as one of Dylan's best albums, and it went on to win three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year in 1998. It was also ranked number 408 on ''Rolling Stones list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.〔("#408 Time Out of Mind" ) "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" November 1, 2003. Retrieved December 21, 2010.〕 The album has an atmospheric sound, the work of producer (and past Dylan collaborator) Daniel Lanois, whose innovative work with carefully placed microphones and strategic mixing was detailed by Dylan in his memoir, ''Chronicles: Volume One''. Although Dylan has spoken positively of Lanois' production style (especially for his 1989 album ''Oh Mercy''), he expressed dissatisfaction with the sound of ''Time Out of Mind''. Dylan has self-produced his subsequent albums. ==Background and writing== In April 1991, Dylan told interviewer Paul Zollo that "there was a time when the songs would come three or four at the same time, but those days are long gone...Once in a while, the odd song will come to me like a bulldog at the garden gate and demand to be written. But most of them are rejected out of my mind right away. You get caught up in wondering if anyone really needs to hear it. Maybe a person gets to the point where they have written enough songs. Let someone else write them." Dylan's last album of original material had been 1990's ''Under the Red Sky'', a critical and commercial disappointment. Since then, he had released two albums ''Good As I Been To You'' and ''World Gone Wrong'' of folk covers and ''MTV Unplugged'', a live album of older compositions; there had been no signs of any fresh compositions until 1996. Dylan began to write a fresh string of songs during the winter of 1996 at his farm in Minnesota, which would later make up ''Time Out of Mind''. Criteria Studio in Miami, Florida, was booked for recording. In a televised interview with Charlie Rose, Lanois recalled Dylan talking about spending a lot of late nights working on this chapter of work. Once the words were completed, according to Lanois, Dylan considered the record to be finished saying, "you know whatever we decide to do with it, that's that." Lanois replied: "what's important is that it's written."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Daniel Lanois interview with Charlie Rose )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Time Out of Mind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
