ALBUM DESCRIPTION: "Love And Theft" is the thirty-first studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on September 11, 2001, by Columbia Records. It featured backing by his touring band of the time, with keyboardist Augie Meyers added for the sessions. The album continued Dylan's artistic comeback following 1997's Time Out of Mind and was given an even more enthusiastic reception. The title of the album was apparently inspired by historian Eric Lott's book Love & Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class, which was published in 1993. "Love and Theft becomes his Fables of the Reconstruction, to borrow an R.E.M. album title", writes Greg Kot in the Chicago Tribune, "the myths, mysteries and folklore of the South as a backdrop for one of the finest roots rock albums ever made. A kind of homage to the roots of folk/blues Americana."

RECEPTION: The album received glowing reviews. In one of those reviews for his "Consumer Guide" column published by The Village Voice, Robert Christgau wrote: "If 'Time Out of Mind' was Dylan's death album—it wasn't, but you know how people talk—'Love and Theft' is his immortality album." Later, when The Village Voice conducted its annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll, 'Love and Theft' topped the list, the third Dylan album to accomplish this. It also topped Rolling Stone's 2001 list. Q magazin listed 'Love and Theft' as one of the best 50 albums of that year. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards. It was nominated for Album of the Year and the track "Honest with Me" was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. It peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified Gold by the RIAA. In 2009, Glide Magazine ranked it as the #1 Album of the Decade. Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "The predictably unpredictable rock poet greeted the new millennium with a folksy, bluesy instant classic." AND in 2012, the album ranked #385 on Rolling Stone's '500 Greatest Albums of All Time'!
