Street-Legal by Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan’s 18th album, “Street-Legal” was shot on the steps of what was then Rundown Studios, a recording and rehearsing studio owned by Dylan who named it after the general look and feel of the neighborhood at the time he opened it. The album was released on June 15, 1978 by Columbia Records and was a departure of sorts for Dylan, as he used a pop/rock band with female backup singers.
