It's one of his finest moments and it's funny how people back then couldn't accept that Bob could do some un-Bobby things and as a result this was viewed as the beginning of his downfall.
Luckily, we know better.

I’ve never managed to get into the album but will probably revisit soon. I remember The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judus Priest is absolutely great.

This is a really good album and an interesting turn in style for Dylan at this point. Coming on the heels of two (and a half) albums that were very loose and chaotic rock and roll, to then sort of rein things in and turn in a much more straightforward, almost calmer album, it's pretty indicative of where Dylan was heading going forward

My least favourite 60's album from Bob
Obviously it still has some good moments
Absolutely love what Jimi Hendrix did with All Along the Watchtower
Bob's original version pales in comparison

This record gets overlooked a lot of the time but it’s very good. It’s a little rag-tag compared to some other stuff he was doing in that era, but in a way that cements an identity for this album.
