Down in the Groove is Bob Dylan's twenty-fifth studio album, released on May 30, 1988. The album was recorded in multiple sessions between 1983 and 1987, with fragmented production that included collaborations with musicians such as Mark Knopfler, B.B. King, and members of the Grateful Dead.
The album received mostly negative reviews, being considered one of Dylan's weakest works. Musically, it blends rock, blues, and folk, with songs including covers of traditional tunes and original compositions. The song 'Silvio', co-written with Robert Hunter, became a staple in Dylan's live performances.
Despite its critical reception, Down in the Groove reached number 61 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States and number 32 on the UK Albums Chart. Over time, it has been reassessed by some critics as a minor album with interesting moments, though it remains one of the lowest-selling albums of his career.
