''World Gone Wrong'' is the twenty-ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on October 26, 1993 by Columbia Records. It was Dylan's second consecutive collection of only traditional folk songs, performed acoustically with guitar and harmonica. The songs tend to deal with darker and more tragic themes than the previous outing, ''Good as I Been to You''. The album received a warm, if not excited, reception from critics. Despite earning a Grammy award for ''Best Traditional Folk Album'', it peaked at number 70 in the US, and at number 35 in the UK. ==The recording sessions== Like its predecessor ''Good as I Been to You'', ''World Gone Wrong'' was recorded to fulfill the terms of his January 18, 1988, contract. It would be the final album released under that contract. In May 1993, Dylan once again held sessions at his Malibu home inside his garage studio. Recorded solo in a matter of days, a total of 14 songs were recorded without a single change in guitar strings. Marked by distortion, the recording quality was very primitive by modern standards, with very casual microphone placement and very little tuning. There were some rumors that Dylan had mastered the album from cassette tapes, as Bruce Springsteen had done with ''Nebraska'', but those rumors have been as difficult to prove as they have been to dismiss. Possibly influenced by the controversy surrounding ''Good as I Been to You'', Dylan wrote a complete set of liner notes to ''World Gone Wrong'', citing all possible sources. It had been decades since Dylan had written his own liner notes, and they were always surrealistic; these notes, while still playfully written, were actually informative. 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「World Gone Wrong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
