Critics were rough on it at the time, and it remains one of the stranger corners of his catalogue. That is exactly what makes it fun to revisit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece is Brownsville Girl, an eleven-minute epic co-written with playwright Sam Shepard that rambles through a half-remembered Gregory Peck western, a long drive and a love affair gone sideways, with backing singers egging him on at every turn. Got My Mind Made Up, written with Petty, kicks up a rowdy bar-band racket, and Under Your Spell, a co-write with Carole Bayer Sager, closes the record on a note of unexpected sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide one is looser and more playful, opening with a swinging run through Little Junior Parker's You Wanna Ramble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnocked Out Loaded rewards the curious: a patchwork record with one of the most ambitious songs Dylan ever put his name to sitting right in the middle of side two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139122798897,"sku":"198029983517","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Bob_Dylan-Knocked_Out_Loaded.jpg?v=1793085501","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/bob-dylan-knocked-out-loaded","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
