World Gone Wrong released: Oct 26, 1993 BUY

In 1993, just a year after Good As I Been To You Bob came out with another solo album made up entirely of traditional tunes, as good as its predecessor and maybe better in some cases. In World Gone Wrong Dylan again chooses material from the Anglo-American and African-American traditions, and at least one associated with both – his decision to perform West Virginia coal miner Frank Hutchison’s version of the African-American murder ballad “Stack-A-Lee” is inspired. As on the preceding album, he has the Mississippi Sheiks on the brain, performing their “Blood In My Eyes” as well as the album’s title song. Throughout, he chooses unusual and tasty items from across the spectrum of the traditional repertoire, and brings his own sensibility to them.
