1963-COLUMBIA
Produced By JOHN HAMMOND
1. Blowin' In The Wind
2. Girl From The North Country
3. Masters Of War
4. Down The Highway
5. Bob Dylan's Blues
6. A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
7. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
8. Bob Dylan's Dream
9. Oxford Town
10. Talking World War III Blues
11. Corrina, Corrina
12. Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance
13. I Shall Be Free
Freewheelin' is the album that singlehandedly started the protest song movement of the 60's, and that made Bob Dylan a legend. "Blowin' In The Wind" is still powerful and meaningful today, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" still speaks volumes, and "Masters Of War" is still a stunning masterpiece. The most striking album from his folk period (Dylan is the only musician on the album), he had a recorded masterpiece with only his second record. This is an important album for fans of any genre. Sit down and listen to it with your kids. Unbelievable that it's still this meaningful and powerful almost 50 years later.
Dylan's legacy as a songwriter and political voice all starts here. You must have this album. [First added to this chart: 04/12/2012]

1962-IMPULSE!
Produced By BOB THIELE
1. In A Sentimental Mood
2. Take The Coltrane
3. Big Nick
4. Stevie
5. My Little Brown Book
6. Angelica
7. The Feeling Of Jazz
Very simply, the coming together of two of the greatest musicians on the planet. Coltrane and Ellington put together this stunning, beautiful album that still shines as much today as it did almost 50 years ago. Only one paragraph for this...it's a masterpiece. If jazz is your thing, you must have this. Period. Ellington on piano, Coltrane on sax, and a great backing band. Jazz doesn't get any sweeter than this. [First added to this chart: 08/07/2012]
