"24 August 2013 -
This is just about as perfect as it gets. This album just feels good, natural, real and off the cuff. At the same time it is perhaps the most beautifully varied set of songs Dylan ever put out. The break up songs, the social songs, the love songs, the talking blues songs, the blues songs, the cover songs are all immaculately performed and beautifully recorded. The some of all it's parts is just a complete musical experience that is so much deeper and richer and more reaffirming than any (almost) purely acoustic guitar/harmonica folk album should possibly be. This record is miraculously good. And Dylan was just 21 when he recorded this! WTF!?!?!!
Grade 100/100"
- Mercury (Rating: 95/100)

"This is secretly the record that started the Sixties. Before long the Beatles heard it, and it completely changed their (especially John's) approach to songwriting. This album heralded the departure from the impersonality of Pop. Young Dylan's persona--subjectivity, moral confidence, irony, humor, brilliance--runs so vividly through this collection of songs... Life-changing stuff."

Fabulous album. Over 60 years after it's release, it's still one of the best albums of all time
