 ............... ORIGINAL RECORDING 1964 BY COLUMBIA RECORDS IN USA .............

************************************************
ALBUM NOTES: ..................................
 The Times They Are a-Changin' is the third of Bob Dylans thirty four studio albums and opens with the title track, one of Dylan's most famous songs.  Dylan's friend,  recalls visiting Dylan's apartment where he saw a number of song manuscripts and poems lying on a table. "The Times They Are a-Changin' had yet to be recorded, but Glover saw its early manuscript. After reading the words "come senators, congressmen, please heed the call", Glover reportedly asked Dylan: "What is this shit, man?", to which Dylan responded, "Well, you know, it seems to be what the people like to hear".
 .....................................
Dylan recalled writing the song as a deliberate attempt to create an anthem of change for the moment. In 1985, he told Cameron Crowe: "This was definitely a song with a purpose. It was influenced by the Irish and Scottish ballads ...  I wanted to write a big song, with short concise verses that piled up on each other in a hypnotic way."  The climactic lines of the final verse: "“The order is rapidly fadin'/ And the first one now/ Will later be last/ For the times they are a-changin'” have a Biblical ring, and several critics have connected them with lines in the Gospel of Mark, 10:31, ""But many that are first shall be last, and the last first."
 .................................
A self-conscious protest song, it is often viewed as a reflection of the generation gap and of the political divide marking American culture in the 1960s. Dylan, however, disputed this interpretation in 1964, saying "Those were the only words I could find to separate aliveness from deadness. It had nothing to do with age." A year later, Dylan would say: "I can't really say that adults don't understand young people any more than you can say big fishes don't understand little fishes. I didn't mean "The Times They Are a-Changin'" as a statement... It's a feeling."

"Ballad of Hollis Brown", is described by Clinton Heylin as a "'tragic tale of independence and free will' culled from the folk idiom, it is a grim, rural Gothic story of a father killing his starving family." ("There's seven people dead in a South Dakota farm").
 ........................
"With God on Our Side" was first performed at New York's Town Hall on April 12, 1963.  Although Dylan claims it is an original composition, the melody to "With God on Our Side" bears a striking resemblance to "The Patriot Game", the lyrics of which were written by Dominic Behan and the melody borrowed from the traditional Irish folk song, "The Merry Month Of May". Behan called Dylan a plagiarist and a thief, in an attempt to goad Dylan into a lawsuit; Dylan made no response.
 .................................
Scottish song writer Jim McLean recalls Dylan asking him in late 1962: "'What does it mean, 'Patriot Game'?'... I explained, to him about Dr Johnson, who's one of Dominic's favourite writers, and that's where Dominic picked up [the] saying: 'Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.'" NPR's Tim Riley writes: "'With God on Our Side' manages to voice political savvy mixed with generational naivete" as it "draws the line for those born long enough after World War I to find its issues blurry ('the reasons for fightin'/I never did get') and who view the forgiveness of the World War II Germans as a farce."
 ...........................
Dylan then follows with a soft, understated ballad: "One Too Many Mornings". "It's the sound of someone too smitten by love to harbor regrets, grown too independent to consider a reunion," writes Riley. One of the more celebrated songs on The Times They Are a-Changin'.
 ...........................
"North Country Blues" tells the story of a mining company's decision to outsource its operations to countries where labor costs are cheaper than in the U.S.A. ("It's much cheaper down in the South American towns/Where the miners work almost for nothing".) The song marks the first time Dylan wrote a narrative from the point-of-view of a woman: the ex-wife of a miner whose work has disappeared. This has been described by critics as Dylan's portrait of his home town, Hibbing, Minnesota.
 ........................
Dylan first performed "Only a Pawn in Their Game" at a voter registration rally in Greenwood, Mississippi. The song refers to the murder of Medgar Evers, the Mississippi leader of the NAACP.  Civil rights activist Bernice Johnson later told critic Robert Shelton that "'Pawn' was the very first song that showed the poor white was as victimized by discrimination as the poor black.  The Greenwood people didn't know that Pete [Seeger], Theo[dore Bikel] and Bobby [Dylan] were well known.  They really like Dylan down there in the cotton country."
 ......................
The melody for "Boots of Spanish Leather" was inspired by Martin Carthy's arrangement of the English folk song "Scarborough Fair" (also the melody of an earlier Dylan composition, "Girl from the North Country").  While in Italy, Dylan created an early draft of "Boots of Spanish Leather".  Salon.com critic Bill Wyman called the song "an abstract classic and one of the purest, most confounding folk songs of the time."
 ...........................
According to Clinton Heylin's biography of Dylan, "When The Ship Comes In" was written in August 1963 "in a fit of pique, in a hotel room, after his unkempt appearance had led a hotel clerk to refuse him admission Joan Baez, had vouched for his good character."  Heylin speculates that "Jenny's Song" from Brecht and Weill's Threepenny Opera was also an inspiration: " As Pirate Jenny dreams of the destruction of all her enemies by a mysterious ship, so Dylan envisages the neophobes being swept aside in 'the hour when the ship comes in'."  Dylan's former girlfriend Suze Rotolo recalls that her "interest in Brecht was certainly an influence on him. I was working for the Circle in the Square Theatre and he came to listen all the time.
 ........................
"The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" tells the story of a hotel barmaid who died after being struck by a wealthy white man. The song was inspired by Dylan's reading a newspaper account of the incident which took place in a hotel in Maryland, in February 1963.
 ........................
The closing song of the album, "Restless Farewell" takes its melody from the traditional Irish-Scots song, "The Parting Glass". Dylan's lyrics have an edge due to the way that Newsweek had treated Dylan. In a profile of the singer,  Dylan was portrayed as someone who had lied about his middle-class origins. It was implied that Dylan had plagiarised the lyrics of his best-known composition, "Blowin' In the Wind".  Stung by these untrue allegations, Dylan composed a song about the pain of having "the dust of rumor" flung in his eyes. He swiftly recorded the work a few days after the Newsweek profile appeared on October 31, 1963.  The album ends with Dylan's vow "I'll make my stand/ And remain as I am/ And bid farewell and not give a damn"...........................
