As such, it's one of his most underrated albums. It includes "Every Grain Of Sand"--one of his finest post-'60s ballads--along with such notable album tracks as the rocking title cut and "Lenny Bruce," a paean to the comedian that easily could be read as a veiled paean to Dylan himself. The CD version of SHOT OF LOVE adds the B-side "The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar," a rollicking blues-rocker that earned a lot of airplay when it first came out by reminding fans of BLONDE ON BLONDE.
