 Bob's NOT There November 20, 2008
Whilst I have no argument with the music on this album, it's all great stuff, if you are hoping to hear the great man introducing each track, then think again "he's NOT there" and this is a great disappointment. I had expected from the album description that it would contain those wonderful insights that Bob Dylan is so good at when introducing the tracks, that's why I can only give it three stars.
 Great, but a note of caution October 28, 2008

Just a quick review here. Although the music on here is fantastic and as eclectic as you could hope for I was under the impression (maybe I missed something) that the tracks would include the introductions by the man himslef. However, the intros come in a separate booklet and are NOT on the CD. As I said, a great CD but just be warned that this is not the actual shows themselves. Cheers!
 A wonderfully eclectic collection. May 23, 2008

Theme Time Radio Hour is one of the most original and enlightening music programmes on the air. It's brilliantly presented by Bob Dylan who plays an eclectic mix of often obscure records all linked by a theme. Dylan's knowledge of American popular music is immense and each programme is peppered with his unique combination of wit and wisdom. So, Ace Records are to be congratulated for issuing this double album containing 50 wonderful tracks of the kind of music to be heard on TTRH. The only thing missing is the man himself but that shouldn't deter anyone from acquiring this marvellous and wide-ranging selection of great music expertly compiled by Ace.
Is this the same man ? March 27, 2008

The guy who in the 60s used to wind up the Press and tell anyone who asked that some song was about light bulbs or something seems to have suddenly acquired vast knowledge over the last 10 years at least.
Maybe he goes on Wikipedia a lot as some of the info he imparts is not exactly rooted in most peoples' brains.
Dylan though showed signs of what was to come in an album which was eternally slagged off-SELF PORTRAIT.
Remember that one-where he showed he was not averse to covering other peoples stuff.It suited me fine as I love cover versions.
Anyway Bob next time you do one of these can you include plenty of high school pop-you know Bobby Vee who once sacked you-and a few of the other Bobbies like the great Bobby Rydell.And not forgetting Fabian-time he had some credibilty.
Oh and Barry McGuire who sang the greatest anti War song of all-Eve of Destruction
WORTHY OF 6 STARS March 24, 2008

Quite frankly, this is the best reissue of 2008, already. It shows that not only has Dylan been the cultural commentator of the world, but that he is also the cultural curator of some amazing music. It is almost as if this is the music that has even shaped his own recordings. It is not that far from Louis Jordan to "Open The Door, Homer" on the Basement Tapes, or the early blues on this album in relation to Love & Theft. But, isn't all pop/rock music Love & Theft ?
