A mess, but one always worth sifting through. There are gems all over the place here. I have to feel the disjointedness is part of the charm.

I remember buying this album along with Bringing It All Back Home at a bookstore in Lansing, MI. The total didn't cost me more than ten bucks, what an investment.
Dylan finally clicked with me around that time and I remember coming home, going to the basement, pressing play on this and *CRACK* goes that famous first snare drum whack. The one that changed Dylan's catalog and subsequently popular music forever. It began a ride with this record I couldn't believe. This album was so strong and very engaging all the way through. That's just what this work is every time. Dylan hasn't frequented my listening as much recently so maybe this one will climb higher one day, but I do love it. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]

Very close to my favorite Dylan record. I think Side 2 reaches biblical proportions of good songwriting/storytelling.

A giant record for early 60's jazz. Its title track is oft-studied to this day.
