A Record, Like the Man, Ahead of its Time.......2006-04-03

I really like this album. I love "Tambourine Man", love the subtle electric guitar. I adore "It Ain't Me Babe," it ain't no stinkin' love song. And neither is "Positively 4th Street." These are bitter and biting songs that grip like glue. "If you were standing in my shoes, you'd know what a drag it is to see you." What a line. Nobody writes them like Bob Dylan. "Rolling Stone", "Rainy Day Woman," and "I Want You," three jumpin' rockers. And then there is "Just Like a Woman," Lord I love that song that shows what a mesmerizing voice Dylan can have when he wants to. And, of course, I can't forget that song that is almost impossible to sing along with, " Subterranean Homesick Blues." Try memorizing the lyrics to that one, try singing them without the record playing. Was Dylan ahead of his time? You betcha.

Every Song on This Record is Important.......2006-04-03

My friend Sara's husband has the Dylan poster that originally came with this record framed and hanging in her living room. I really liked that poster, but my chances of ever finding a copy of this record in a record store with the poster still in it were like zero to none. So off to eBay I went and eighty dollars later I have my poster. I did, however, later find the record in pretty good condition in a used record store, no poster though, so I'm lucky I got the one I did. The cover of this record, with that backlight shining through Dylan's hair really reminds me of the song "Blowin' in the Wind" one of the three acoustic songs from his too short protest period on this record. The rock numbers are outstanding and the inclusion of "Positively 4th Street" was inspirational, because not only is it a divine song, but it had never been on an LP up until the release of this record. In fact this whole record is kind of inspirational, good early material that will have anybody up and thinking, good electric songs that will make you think as you sing along. Just an all around good record, this is.

This Record Must Have Really Shook `em Up Back Then.......2006-04-03

My husband is just about the greatest Bob Dylan fan that ever lived, so needless to say, I hear him coming out of the speakers in our house all the time. That's not to say I don't like him too. I do, a lot. One of the record's Jack (my husband) plays often is the first Greatest Hits CD. In fact it's probably the CD he plays the most. I can only imagine the impact this record must have made back when it came out. Just imagine "Rainy Day Woman" and "Like a Rolling Stone" on the same record. What must the establishment thought back then. There there is "Mr. Tambourine Man." How could they ever understand that. Add "Blowing in the Wind" and "Times" two songs they probably understood only too well, understood and didn't like. Yes, America was changing, the times were blowin' away in the wind. The future was coming fast. This record must have really shook 'em up.

A Mighty Fine Stand Alone Record.......2006-04-03

This record came out after a long lapse, probably because of Dylan's motorcycle accident. At least that's what I've read. Unlike a lot of hits records, this is a great stand alone record in it's own right and it flows as if all of the songs were meant for this record and this record alone. The three acoustic songs are absolutely three of his best. The record starts out as a rocker with "Rainy Day Woman," where we hear a humorous, seemingly carefree Dylan, but unlike on "Highway 61" here the song segues into just about the greatest protest song every written, "Blowing in the Wind." Two more acoustic songs, good ones, and then were rocking through the rest of the CD, slowing down only for "Mr. Tambourine Man." I love this record and often have the CD playing in my car.

Thin Wild Mercury Music & More.......2005-10-30

Dylan had plenty of diehard fans when "Blonde on Blonde" came out. They ate that excellent record up. Then three months after its release, three month after a turbulent European tour, Dylan broke his neck in a motorcycle accident. Columbia released "Positively 4th Street" as a single, then came out with this record with "4th Street" on it. The record was monster huge and "4th Street" to my mind is one of the best songs Dylan has ever done.

I've heard it said that the bootlegs, "Great White Wonder" came out between "Blonde on Blonde" and "JWH", might not have been so huge, had Dylan still been recording. But his audience was so hungry for anything of his, that they snapped up this poor quality double album as fast as those underground guys could press `em up. They snapped up his "Greatest Hits" too, probably because it is a mighty fine collection. I know it gets a thumbs up from me.
