Down in the Groove

Down in the Groove is the twenty-fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released on May 30, 1988, through Columbia Records. The album was recorded over a period of five years, spanning the sessions for Infidels (1983) to recordings made specifically for the album in 1987. The record, which is made up of both originals and covers, features multiple guest musicians including Ronnie Wood, hip-hop group Full Force, and members of the Grateful Dead, while two of the album's four originals were co-written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.

Following up on the poorly-received Knocked Out Loaded (1986), Down in the Groove was released to similarly negative reviews and low sales. The album stalled at number 61 in the US and number 32 in the UK, while its only single, "Silvio", failed to chart in either territory. Both contemporary and retrospective reviews criticize the album as having an incohesive and scattered nature, and rankings of Dylan's work tend to place the album near the bottom of his discography.
