Surreal electric rock poetry at its very best. Hugely influential.

"that wild mercury sound" captured in a series of great songs that form the first double studio album in rock music's history.

One side electric, one side acoustic, this album contains some of Dylan's most enduring classics. And those great, mind-blowing lyrics...

After the motorcycle accident, Dylan entered an 18-month period of public silence before re-emerging with this spellbinding collection of a dozen musical parables. Endless cover versions of these songs began to appear immediately upon release.

Old Bob is born! Comparisons to his 1960s classics become irrelevant and pointless. These are songs his younger self couldn't have written. Clearly, Dylan's elder years were going to be captivating.

Still solo and acoustic, recorded quickly, but a clear break away from his protest-singer persona. Dylan was then at the vanguard of what could be achieved within the context of a song's lyrics. So many classics from one mind still boggles mine.

Nice synopsis. Like the 'old Bob' 'young Bob' distinction ~ it is quite obvious but you handle it very well.

Love the fact that 1997-2012 albums are ranked so high. Desire and The Times They Are A Changin' are surprisingly low.
