Bob Dylan's 1974 album, Blood on the Tracks, reminded the world that Dylan was a songwriter without peer. On his next album, he decided to experiment by taking on a co-writer, theater director Jacques Levy. While the songs on Blood on the Tracks were highly personal, these new songs were largely about characters, both real and imagined. The album ends with "Sara," an extremely moving tribute to Dylan's long-suffering wife. The album is also notable for the work of violinist Scarlet Rivera.

He invited her into his car and the rest is history.

The Best of Bob Marley.
