Bob Dylan's tour is named after his last recent album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, which marks his return to original songwriting after an eight-year gap, during which he released three albums featuring traditional pop standards. In the United States, the album sold 51,000 copies.
Nielsen Music and Billboard accounted for the various ways fans consumed music and deemed the album to have achieved 53,000 sales when factoring in its three million streams.
Critics have lauded Bob Dylan's Rough and Rowdy Ways album as one of his finest and most captivating works in recent years. Notably, the 17-minute closing track, Murder Most Foul, is a poetic reflection on American history following President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination. Remarkably, it references at least 74 other songs, adding depth and complexity to its narrative.
