Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

7. Bob DylanBlood On The Tracks

I could have chosen any of his earlier albums, I’m a massive fan. He made amazing records with no crap on them at all. I think Blood On The Tracks was his last amazing album. My oldest brother brought it for me for my birthday in 1975. I wasn’t a Dylan fan at the time. It surprised me. It took me a while to get into it because it didn’t sound like typical Dylan. It’s an album I still play.
