"Love and Theft" is an album by Bob Dylan, released in 2001. Coming four years after the much applauded Time Out of Mind, "Love and Theft" was even better received by delighted critics and fans and is widely considered his best album since 1975's Blood On The Tracks. It gave Dylan his best trans-Atlantic chart showings in over two decades. Going gold in the US, "Love and Theft" hit #5, and it reached as high as #3 in the UK. As of June 2006, the album has sold 757,000 units in the U.S.

Produced by Dylan himself (under his pseudonym of "Jack Frost"), the album is loose, carefree, touching, and even humourous at times. It won the 2002 Grammy award for "Best Traditional Folk Album" and was nominated for "Album of the Year". Before that, it topped the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 2001. In 2003, the album was ranked number 467 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

"Love and Theft" - which was released the same day as the September 11, 2001 attacks - remains Bob Dylan's latest studio album.

The quotation marks in the album title are apparently deliberate, as witnessed by Dylan's official website and by the text on the album's cover.
