^ If you want to explore Mastodon, I'd work backwarRAB if I were you. They started as an Grindcore/Hardcore/Sludge metal band. If you like Blood Mountain, then you'll probably like everything else they did.
That is a very soulful Dylan record, I believe he had merabers of Dire Straits backing him. It's all very well done, but there are a couple of tunes on it that Dylan attempts to sing that are so very far out of his range, that it's very endearing to hear him attempt, (failing miserably) to hit the high notes. Some people think this was his worst vocal performance, but I love it.
