Product Information

Highway 61 Revisited album Product Description

Recorded in Columbia Studios, New York, New York in June-August 1965. Taking the first, electric side of Bringing It All Back Home to its logical conclusion, Bob Dylan hired a full rock & roll band, featuring guitarist Michael Bloomfield, for Highway 61 Revisited. Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and blues ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry") to flat-out garage rock ("Tombstone Blues," "From a Buick 6," "Highway 61 Revisited"). Dylan had not only changed his sound, but his persona, trading the folk troubadour for a streetwise, cynical hipster. Throughout the album, he embraces druggy, surreal imagery, which can either have a sense of menace or beauty, and the music reflects that, jumping between soothing melodies to hard, bluesy rock. And that is the most revolutionary thing about Highway 61 Revisited -- it proved that rock & roll needn't be collegiate and tame in order to be literate, poetic, and complex. ...See Full Description

The 2nd of 3 Dylan Masterworks
Take this one along with 'Bring It All Back Home' & 'Blonde on Blonde' - find a spot on that desert island in the shade...and you don't need the rest of the world. Love everything by Dylan (except Dylan & The Dead) however these 3...

Dylan's masterpiece
This is Bob Dylan's best album. Every single song on this album is a gem. The man is simply the greatest songwriter of all time. His lyrics changed the face of pop music forever. This is one of the greatest albums of all time, one of those albums you can play over and over again and never get tired of it. This cd is highly recommended and essential for the cd collection.

One of my favorites!
This is probably the Dylan-album that i have been listening most to, and probably the one i like the most! It contains some of his best songs like "Like a rolling stone" and "Desolation row" and the energy that flows throughout the album is exceptional! If you are not a huge Dylan-fan and you just want to have a couple of records from him, make sure this is one of them! I would also like to recommend "Bringing it all back home" and " Blonde on Blonde! Those two records is from the same period and are truly amazing works!
