He's surprisingly harsh on Dylan's Sinatra albums, considering he used to work for him. Dylan probably had writer's block at the time, that and contractual obligations.

Dylan's first album was recorded in November, 1961 and released in March, 1962. Also, second paragraph, second sentence ... rebuke your copy editor.

Thank you Dan, will fix promptly. This is the new new journalism: tightrope walking with no net. I have probably already fixed as many of the typos as I could find, and rebuked myself, the copy editor. The mathematics of this are, I could read this 3,000 times and still there would be a copy mistake. They're unfortunate and anathema to me, as a former copy editor myself. But if I worried excessively, I would be to paralyzed to press "publish".
