Under the Red Sky is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's 27th studio album, released by Columbia Records in September 1990. The album was largely greeted as a strange and disappointing follow-up to 1989's critically-acclaimed Oh Mercy. Most of the criticism was directed at the slick sound of pop producer Don Was, as well as a handful of tracks that seem rooted in children's nursery rhymes. It is a rarity in Dylan's catalog for its inclusion of celebrity cameos, by Slash, Elton John, George Harrison, David Crosby, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bruce Hornsby.
