Album Description
Standard: 1CD of 10 new tracks in a jewel box with a four-panel insert.
Together Though Life, produced by Jack Frost, was prompted by the composition of a new song, "Life Is Hard," which was written for a forthcoming film by French director Oliver Dahan (La Vie En Rose). Bob Dylan's latest studio album was recorded late last year and features 10 new songs including "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" and "It's All Good." This will be the 46th release from Dylan, following his Platinum album Modern Times which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in 2006.

 Respectful Disagreement January 30, 2010
Mikie (Goldsboro, NC USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was born in the early fifties, and grew up with much of Bob Dylan's music. His reputation as a poet, musician, and American musical icon, are well-deserved. Still, it's been a while since he put out an entire album's worth of music I can enjoy listening to, start to finish.
With Together Through Life, Bob Dylan continues to expand his sound, and he has written some terrific, evocative lyrics, which his burlap-wrapped voice complements very well.
So--why only Three Stars? Maybe I've outgrown his music. More likely, though, his music has outgrown me. I miss him in pure singer-songwriter mode, where musical accompaniment--guitar, harmonica, silence, pauses--embellishes his lyrics, punctuating the poetry and prose. For my tastes, all the extra instrumentation here detracts from the music and the messages. And if I close my eyes, I can even sometimes hear Tom Waits, rather than Bob Dylan. Tom's a good guy, but not my cup of tea--thus another star takeaway. That's why I rate this album with only Three Stars.
Long-time Bob Dylan fans continue to enjoy the expanding horizons of his music. Not me. Like his contemporary, Neil Young, I most enjoy the Bob Dylan who plays to the strengths which initially drew me to his music: A beautiful ragged voice and visionary prose, paired with guitar, and spare harmonica. I'd love to hear him return to his roots.
 If You Can't Appreciate Bob Dylan @ Dimestore Prices... January 30, 2010
Deborah L. Monahan (Houston, TX United States)
...you ain't never gonna. Just released in April, "Together Through Life" offers Dylan fans ONE MORE piece of a music legend whose career has spanned folk, blues, steel, glam, punk, hair, grunge, rap, and the 80's amalgamated mess of musical what-the-hell.(If video killed the radio star, 80's music almost drove rock's icons to pull the trigger.)This man is a god...still a god...a poet, a musician, a performer who still rides the road almost 50 years later, and rocks. Forget what I said before...if you can't appreciate Bob Dylan at ANY price just cut up your credit card and go watch reruns of Jay Leno. Oh, and one more thing...I'm from Houston...and he's right..."if you ever go to Houston, watch out for the man with the star..."
The Test... November 19, 2009

The test of a good CD is when you stick on one or two tracks, but that expands as you let the album play in its entirety. This CD meets the test. Nothing knocks me out on this like when I first heard the song, "Things Have Changed", but this CD has reeled me in. Good job, Bob.

I saw him perform this album, this fall, at Berkeley.
I saw him perform in the autumn of his career.
And I have mumbled to myself since.
Two things get better with time: wine and Bob Dylan.
