"Love and Theft" (German: "Liebe und Diebstahl"; the quotation marks are part of the title) is the 31st studio album by US songwriter Bob Dylan , released in 2001 . The album was produced by himself under the pseudonym Jack Frost .

It was made around the same time as the movie Masked and Anonymous , in which Dylan plays the lead role Jack Fate . The musicians he recorded the album with also appear in the film.

Four years after the critically acclaimed Time Out of Mind album , “Love and Theft” became Dylan's most successful album in over 20 years. It reached # 5 in the US and # 3 in the UK. In 2002 it won a Grammy for "Best Traditional Folk Album" .

Rolling Stone Magazine had previously named it the best album of the year. The mojo ranked it second on their annual list and the uncut third.

Dylan had "given" the song Mississippi to Sheryl Crow for interpretation in 1998 as an expression of his appreciation . In fact, she produced a cover version that was released on her album The Globe Sessions . Later she is said to have asked him what he thought of her version (“How do you like my version?”) And Dylan replied: “How do you like mine?” ("What do you think of mine?")
