Only a year after HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED, Dylan miraculously topped himself with further epigrams of surrealistic poetry and emotional intrigue. The pressure of a punishing touring schedule and high public profile helped drive him to an unbelievable fit of creativity as he spontaneously scribbled these gems in his hotel rooms. We were spoiled with a double album, more Dylan music than we had previously heard, yet still destined to endure. BLONDE ON BLONDE surrounds the folk-rock bard with the likes of Al Kooper, Robbie Robertson, Charlie McCoy and Kenny Buttrey, all seasoned musicians giving this album a relaxed confidence quite unlike the youthful energy of HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED. Decades later this album still rewards and surprises. A gigantic record in every sense.

great Please be careful when you give stars, this is a must have not only for Bob's fans.
It's universal music, able to give you deep feelings even after years and years of listenings.
One of his best, among the magnificent discography of one of the best genius of all time Submitted by Daniele - samp91 (Venice, Italy) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 2 found this helpful.
Like myself most reviewers wish to give this 5 stars The silly 'Drop Down' box automatically settles on 3; therefore those who are not accustomed end up giving this a 3 instead of the intended 5 stars. CD Universe should modify the system to correct this issue.
Blonde on Blonde, Bringing it all back home and Highway 61 revisted - obviously all 5+ stars! Submitted by faust8577 (Lorraine, Que. Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Favorite Dylan Better than Highway 61 Revisited, better than Blood on The Tracks. It's simply amazing. Every song is unforgettable and great in its own way. Favorites Song: Sad Eyed Lady of The Lowlands Submitted by Brian (Boston, MA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
You're Wrong The person who gave this album only three stars has no idea what he's talking about. Obviously not a Dylan fan. He didn't even mention Bringing It All Back Home. Submitted by Adam Carver (Equinunk, PA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 0 of 1 found this helpful.
BEST DYLAN ALBUM BLONDE ON BLONDE (1966)
This has to be Bob Dylans best album EVER. He has so many of them and most of them are crap. This and "Highway 61 Revisited" (1965) are the best two. Get those two and "The Essential Bob Dylan" 2- disc set and thats enough Bob Dylan for the casual fan like me. Submitted by keithsilvers (Wausau, WI, USA) Was This Review Helpful?
