“Rough And Rowdy Ways,” says Robert Plant in Mojo (November 2020), when the journalist asks him what he listens to. “From Judas to Jehova – beatified and crucified comes the Ragged Phoenix. This is vital stuff. From the richest vein… reflections at sunset from the Voyage of Sinbad.”
Seven voyages Sinbad has made, and one is more breathtaking than the other. "I Contain Multitudes", "False Prophet", "My Own Version of You", "I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You", "Black Rider", "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" and "Mother of Muses"… it is indeed, as The Guardian headlines, a testament to his eternal greatness . But the most breathtaking journey, arguably, is number eight: "Crossing The Rubicon". “Freely commingling bracing insights with unmitigated silliness,” says Chrissie Hynde, and the Los Angeles Times is as inspired as Robert Plant and Chrissie Hynde: “A savage pulp-noir masterpiece.”
But above all the eloquence towers the plain simplicity in which Keith Richards wraps his admiration: “Bless old Bob. I love his new album, man. He’s done a lovely job there , Rough & Rowdy Ways” ( Rolling Stone , September 2020).
In Crossing The Rubicon. Bob Dylan's latter-day classic , Dylan scholar Jochen Markhorst delves into the majestic lyrics, irresistible musical accompaniment, rich music-historical roots and literary brilliance of one of Dylan's unflinching masterpieces - and demonstrates why the song belongs in the outer category of songs like Desolation Row, Like A Rolling Stone and Mississippi .
