Ben Ratliff reviewed the new Bob Dylan album in today's New York Times. What I found interesting about the piece is the prominence afforded the photographers who shot the front and back covers: a third of the short review talks about how the images align or don't with the music. And there seems to be an assumption in the article that we all know who Bruce Davidson and Josef Koudelka are. I think few probably do, but it's nice that the reader is encouraged to think that s/he should know who they are.
