| | Bob Dylan Dylan CD Bob Dylan Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Half greatest-hits album, half career summary, the full three-disc version of 2007's 45th-anniversary collection, DYLAN (also available as a single-disc distillation), is a public service to both Bob Dylan neophytes and fans who wrote off his late-'70s-to-mid-'80s fallow period. For the latter group, the best songs from Dylan's "lost years" are cherry-picked, proving that even amid periods of inconsistency, Hibbing, Minnesota's favorite son never lost his spark of genius.
These 51 songs--arranged in chronological order--track Dylan's development from Greenwich Village folk hero to surrealist rocker to grizzled bluesman. All the key tracks from his glory days are here, from "Blowin' in the Wind" to "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," but perhaps more illuminating is the esoterica; anyone not paying close attention to Dylan's career left-turns could easily have missed such almost-lost gems as "Dark Eyes" (from the largely unremarkable EMPIRE BURLESQUE) or "Blood in My Eyes" from trad folk/blues album WORLD GONE WRONG. When the dust of history settles, the lesser-known tunes collected on DYLAN will be just as important as the "hits."

Greatest Collection Ever!
Sorry torton I don't usually review cd's but this collection is first rate so I strongly disagree with your review!This collection is a great place for anyone to get a first rate overview of Dyalns music. I actually bought this for an 18 year old who was starting to borrow my Dylan cd's. Makes me happy to see a new generation of Dylan fans out there and to hear Dylan blasting out of his room. I must add that I will be borrowing this from him too as the sound is amazing! Great overview from an artist with a huge catalogue lovingly put together by legacy and Columbia.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  No good reason for this to exist!
All of these songs have been available for years. Not one rare track. Just another re-hash. They even goofed in the booklet and put the wrong version of You Ain't Goin' Nowhere on the collection. It says it is the Basement Tapes version but it is clearly the later inferior version with Happy Traum. The funniest thing is how Columbia copied the artwork idea of the Scorpio bootlegs by putting the discs in little LP style jackets. There is not one original idea about this project. Avoid like the plague.
And, by the way, Bob Dylan is my number one favorite artist. My first Dylan concert was December, 1965, in San Jose.
Buyer beware!
