The master. Telling his best stories with total honesty. Each listening a new revelation. A work or art for the ages. Inventing time and space, void and form, in song. Sheltered. Tangled. Twisted. Lonely. A rooster crowing... Buckets raining down... Seeing the ones you love in nature... My GOD! The idiot genius blowing naked in the wind...

It seems kooky to include a greatest hits in your top records. But this is the 1st record I recall hearing. I was 3. I put my ear right close the speakers. I remember the woofers pounding. The depth of sound was overwhelming. It opened me up to a life long love of music.

I still recall the strange fascination I felt learning Dylan wrote Blowing in the Wind and not Peter Paul and Mary. And then the rest. The stripped down acoustic guitar licks. The biting, meaningful lyrics. Still potent in the 1980s. Potent for all time. The perfect emotional deliveries. Divine.

The madness of artistic genius! Oh, let me bathe into the muse's spring... So deep... So touching... His voice goes on forever.

A fabulous black beauty. Ridiculous in its perfection. An ode to silence. Where did all these sounds come from? It must have taken 1000 years to create.

College... On the bed with my buddy Sean at 3 AM after a night of fun... Full volume... Singing at the top of our lungs... That kind of stuff sticks forever.

The 3 years I lived in Japan, this one was stuck in the CD player for over a year. I didn't even mind. Intricate funny lyrics with cool 1 string, 2 string, 3 string guitars... Like mother's milk for a budding lead guitarist.

I didn't get this record the first time I heard it. Probably like I don't get Radiohead or My Bloody Valentine now. Anyhow, I do get this one now and it is the heart of 2 AM.
