“Every solo that is played here, every freewheeling processing of song material breathes a completely appropriate and never borrowed authenticity. It is precisely the polyphony in the approach, the meeting of determined appropriation and respectful homage, of textlessness and wit, of precision and playfulness, that increases the fun in the music.
The fact that “Wherever You Roam” is the quartet’s third Dylan album does not lead to an increasing smoothness, but to an ever more intense awareness in dealing with the material.”
