As soon as I put the first CD in and listened,It is mind blowing to hear these classic songs evolve
Posted by Paul Stanton on 7th Nov 2015
A well known critic whose work I've followed for many years once said"Never has one artist been so unimpeachably brilliant nor so manifestly duff." Writing in 1994 he goes on to say that his wife had seen all 39 of Dylan's post Isle of Wight London shows and after one show when asked "How was it?" replied "He was wearing an interesting pair of shoes." Welcome to the world of Dylan.
They don't call them records for nothing and it is for that reason that it doesn't matter that when this music was made I was two months shy of my third birthday. The record lasts for ever, it is a diary. So as I reached my mid teens when I heard these 3 records, I was able to be almost as bowled over as people were years before. As I stumble through my early fifties and consider that Bob Dylan was just 23 years old when he made the music in the box I'm holding, words frankly fail me. Other recording artists careers have been built on a fraction of this depth, breadth and unadulterated class. BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME, HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED AND BLONDE ON BLONDE form a trilogy of the mightiest rock albums in history. Not content with touring with the Hawks,(who became The Band) releasing a single so long that the B side contained the second half of it and lest we forget the small matter of deciding to plug in when his like minded folkies would rather have thrown themselves under a train than commit such an act of musical anarchy, Bob Dylan unleashed three long playing vinyl discs that defied belief. Oh, and one of them was a double album. This volume of The Bootleg Series confirms the "unimpeachably brilliant" part of Dylan's half century as a recording artist. As soon as this collection was announced reader, yours truly decided to order the two disc version. Weeks later having read reviews far better written than this one, I found myself asking the question"What posessed you to buy the short version?" I have no idea but corrected my heinous error and am all the happier for it. Is it my job to sell an artists work to someone who simply doesn't like him? Of course it is. Is it my job to sell an artists work to someone who has a love for this thing of ours? Of course it is. The very title of this chapter is well chosen, this is the Cutting Edge of rock n'roll and we simply won't see this happen again. Not in our lifetime. These six discs contain the work of a ludicrously young genius. Treat yourself and enjoy.
