Profile

Why they shine

Bob Dylan won Album of the Year at the 1998 Grammys for Time Out of Mind, the late-career record that revived his reputation after a decade of critical drift and a near-fatal heart infection. Recorded in Miami with producer Daniel Lanois, the album's haunted soundscapes carried songs like Not Dark Yet and Make You Feel My Love, and its win ended a Grammy drought stretching back to the 1960s. Dylan has sold more than 145 million records, won the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize in Literature, and continued to tour the Never Ending Tour into his eighties.
