Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

This is the re-mastered reissue of Bob Dylan's 1965 album HIGWAY 61. Dylan was virtually gushing great songs when this masterpiece arrived in the summer of 1965. From the epochal opening of "Like a Rolling Stone" through the absurdly apocalyptic closer, "Desolation Row," his command of surrealistic language was daring and amazing. As a vocalist, he was rewriting the rules of the game. Jimi Hendrix made note of Mr. Z's technically suspect pitch and decided that he too was a singer. And the backing, though ragged, is precisely right. Is this the essential Dylan album? It's certainly one of them. --Steven Stolder 1 Like a Rolling Stone 2 Tombstone Blues 3 It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry 4 From a Buick 6 5 Ballad of a Thin Man 6 Queen Jane Approximately 7 Highway 61 Revisited 8 Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues 9 Desolation Row
