Down in the Groove released: May 19, 1988 BUY

Down In The Groove, from 1988, contains four Dylan originals, two of which were written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. “Silvio” percolates with a steady beat and would soon become a concert staple. Dylan tries his hand at a couple of older folk songs, the traditional “Shenandoah” and the Stanley Brothers’ “Rank Strangers,” as well as the old pop tune “When Did You Leave Heaven,”. In these years of the late 1980s the one place he seemed to reliably find his focus was when he turned his gaze to traditional folk, country, and blues tunes.
