This week in 1975, the Bob Dylan LP “Blood on the Tracks” went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart (March 1)

With the creative inspiration for the songs on the album allegedly coming from his personal turmoil at the time, particularly his estrangement from his then-wife Sara, of Bob and Sara’s children, Jakob Dylan, has said, "When I'm listening to Blood On The Tracks, that's about my parents."

But in a 1985 interview, Bob Dylan denied it, saying:

 "A lot of people thought that album pertained to me. It didn't pertain to me ... 
I'm not going to make an album and lean on a marriage relationship."

Dylan’s fifteenth studio album was a commercial success, and remains one of Dylan's best-selling studio releases, also peaking at #1 in Canada and New Zealand, #2 in Norway, #3 in Spain, #4 in the UK, and #5 in the Netherlands.

Before recording the songs that would constitute “Blood on the Tracks”, Dylan previewed them for a number of friends in the music world, including David Crosby, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Tim Drummond and Peter Rowan. 

Nash recalled that Stills disliked Dylan's private performance of his new songs; immediately after Dylan left the room, Stills allegedly remarked to Nash, "He's a good songwriter ... but he's no musician."

Producer Phil Ramone spoke of Dylan’s spontaneous approach to recording the album:

"Sometimes he will have several bars, and in the next version, he will change his mind about how many bars there should be in between a verse. Or eliminate a verse. Or add a chorus when you don't expect."

In 2015, “Blood on the Tracks” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

In 2020, the album was ranked #9 on Rolling Stone's list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”.
