Bob Dylan, Bringing It All Back Home & Highway 61 Revisited, 5 STARS, NM LPs
These two albums rank With Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road for their impact on rock and pop music to follow. Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave each of these classic albums from 1965 a PERFECT 5 STARS, and his reviews are below. Although these are reissues, they are still prized by collectors and Dylan fans, especially specimens like these, with both discs and covers in Near Mint condition.
Bringing It All Back Home, Columbia, JC 9128, stereo, 1974 reissue of 1965 release
Disc: Near Mint. Cover: Near Mint.
"With Another Side of Bob Dylan, Dylan had begun pushing past folk, and with Bringing It All Back Home, he exploded the boundaries, producing an album of boundless imagination and skill. And it's not just that he went electric, either, rocking hard on "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "Maggie's Farm," and "Outlaw Blues"; it's that he's exploding with imagination throughout the record. After all, the music on its second side -- the nominal folk songs -- derive from the same vantage point as the rockers, leaving traditional folk concerns behind and delving deep into the personal. And this isn't just introspection, either, since the surreal paranoia on "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" and the whimsical poetry of "Mr. Tambourine Man" are individual, yet not personal. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, really, as he writes uncommonly beautiful love songs ("She Belongs to Me," "Love Minus Zero/No Limit") that sit alongside uncommonly funny fantasias ("On the Road Again," "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"). This is the point where Dylan eclipses any conventional sense of folk and rewrites the rules of rock, making it safe for personal expression and poetry, not only making words mean as much as the music, but making the music an extension of the words. A truly remarkable album."
Highway 61 Revisited , Columbia, JC 9189, stereo, 1974(?) reissue of 1965 release. Disc: Near Mint. Cover: Near Mint.
Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave it a PERFECT 5 STARS and wrote: "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." This album is included in Tom Moon's 1000 Recordings to hear Before You Die.
