after 66? In 1967 he came up with I Shall be Released and the rest of the Basement Tapes, and the entire John Wesley Harding album. Yes, I would agree that he will never equal the productivity of 1961-1967, but that's a very high standard to expect anybody to live up to. His work ever since then has been inconsistent, and he's often made some bizarre choices as to what to release, but he has written many great songs over the years since, as well as recording some great versions of traditional songs. And no Mr. Jones writes songs like Blind Willie McTell or Dignity.
