On the surface, Bob Dylan’s Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid serves as a potent soundtrack to Sam Peckinpah’s western of the same name. Yet the Grammy-nominated set is much more, remaining distinctive and intriguing because of the cast Dylan assembled for its creation—and their collective performances. The 10-track album effortlessly breathes with country, folk, blues, and old-time pop flavors. A-list collaborators, including drummer Jim Keltner, fiddler Byron Berline, and Byrds legend Roger McGuinn, assist Dylan in making instrumental portraits teem with detail, character, and a definite sense of place. Then there’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” Transcending the status of song, the Bard’s poignant tune has gone on to become nothing short of an anthem—a symbolic hymn whose expressiveness encompasses resilience, sorrow, forgiveness, readiness, and more. Heard anew on exquisite analogue and digital editions, everything here takes on deeper meaning and conveys elevated levels of enjoyment.
