Not Dylan's best, but still a really good album (cause duh, it's Dylan). Has a few Dylan classics, the title track, "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight", "All Along The Watchtower", and "I Pity The Poor Immigrant", great stuff

My favourite Dylan album at the moment, or at least the one I listen to most. 'Frankie Lee & Judas Priest' and 'I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine' and 'Dear Landlord' are just about the three best songs he ever wrote. I wrote some long comment about it on the album page itself, which I'm not gonna copy here, but basically this is just stunning self-mythologising under the guise of humble storytelling, all to a backing that sounds like Music from Big Pink sans organ. Amazing stuff. This period (Nashville Skyline, The Basement Tapes, this, Big Pink, Self Portrait, arguably New Morning too) was just so fruitful, and sounds like it came so easy. Dylan the freewheelin' outlaw.

This always struck me as an odd place for Judas Priest to get their name from.

Neither do I, but I'll try to give it a spin soon, after reading your posts I guess that is an interesting Lp.

Not as good as the three albums that came before it, but certainly a great album taken on it's own. All Along the Watchtower and Frankie Lee and Judas Priest are as good as anything he ever did...which is saying a lot. The title track is kind of an odd number, though...

This really is an amazing album. It's very earthy, and the sonhwriting is so unique in his catalog. Biblical, reading like parables, and the flow of the words and songs is very nonchalent at times and also very mesmericinhly deep at other times. All that said, the thin production of it is the only point that really makes it not a total Dylan classic to me. And of his first 10 years of recording I'd rank this about 8th out of the first 10-11 albums he released.
