Hard Rain captures Bob Dylan at his most rugged and confrontational, recorded live during the 1976 Rolling Thunder Revue. Stripped of polish and full of grit, this album shows Dylan reinterpreting his classics with a rough-edged urgency that mirrors the stormy mood of the times. The performances are raw, the vocals impassioned, and the band — featuring members of the Rolling Thunder crew — delivers with power and bite. A record that feels more like a statement than a concert, Hard Rain stands as one of Dylan’s most intense live documents.
