I second that, "Blood on the Tracks" is probably his best work.
Here is a snippet of lyrics from "Idiot Wind"
"I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle."
