The album was received poorly upon release, and is still considered by some critics to be one of Dylan's least-engaging efforts. However, the 11-minute epic "Brownsville Girl" — co-written by Sam Shepard — is often considered among his best work, and "Maybe Someday" has gained notoriety for its allusion to a line from T. S. Eliot's Journey of the Magi. " Brownsville Girl " is a song from Bob Dylan's 1986 album Knocked Out Loaded. Sam Shepard (born November 5, 1943) is an American artist who worked as an award-winning Playwright, Writer and Actor. Thomas Stearns Eliot, OM (September 26 1888 – January 4 1965 was a poet Dramatist, and Literary critic. In the 20th century T S Eliot wrote a Poem entitled The Journey of the Magi.

Reception

The album earned mostly negative reactions, with only a rewritten version of an outtake (New Danville Girl) recorded during the Empire Burlesque sessions, receiving uniform praise. Empire Burlesque is Bob Dylan 's 23rd studio album released in 1985 on Columbia Records. Robert Christgau praised Brownsville Girl as "one of the greatest and most ridiculous of [Dylan's] great ridiculous epics. Robert Christgau (born April 18 1942) is an American Essayist, Music journalist, and the self-declared "Dean of American Doesn't matter who came up with such lines as 'She said even the swap meets around here are getting corrupt' and 'I didn't know whether to duck or run, so I ran' — they're classic Dylan. "

The album as a whole was generally (but not universally) panned, as was its followup, Down in the Groove. Down in the Groove is Bob Dylan 's 25th Studio album, released in 1988 by Columbia Records. "Knocked Out Loaded is ultimately a depressing affair," wrote Anthony DeCurtis in his review published in Rolling Stone Magazine, "because its slipshod, patchwork nature suggests that Dylan released this LP not because he had anything in particular to say, but to cash in on his 1986 tour. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published Even worse, it suggests Dylan's utter lack of artistic direction. "

Sales for Knocked Out Loaded were considered weak, as it peaked at #53 on U. S. charts and #35 in the UK.

Dylan has virtually never played songs from this LP in concert; Driftin' Too Far From Shore, with 14 performances (all but one in 1988), is the most frequently heard. Four songs remain unplayed, while the other three have together been aired only five times.

In recent years this album has been reevaluated by many critics and listeners and its stock has risen considerably; a small group of fans have been hailing the disc as his finest and least-understood work. It appears Knocked Out Loaded has become something of a cult record.

Columbia has yet to remaster this album, but it is available on compact disc.
