The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Revival
by: Bob Dylan

June 01, 2004
It was with "Freewheelin'", his second album, that Bob Dylan established himself as a great songwriter. Featured are all-time classics like "Blowin' In The Wind", "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright". But some lesser known gems, such as "Bob Dylan's Dream", are also included. "Masters Of War" is at an anti-war song with Dylan at his most venomous and "Girl From The North Country" is one of his most beautiful romantic ballads.

This is a young, idealistic Dylan playing raw, stripped down folk music. But with witty, perceptive and extremely sardonic lyrics that take it to a whole new level. To see the glorious roots of the best songwriter of the last 50 years there is no better place to start than here.

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964 - Concert at Philharmonic Hall

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Revival

March 30, 2004
Well, if you don't have this do yourself a favour and buy it. The package is great with great photos from the show.
As for Dylan, he is in high spirits and most possibly stoned out of his mind as he laughs, shares jokes, forgets lyrics...
He is also delivering all songs passionately making this one concert a very special indeed. A mere three months later he was recording Bringing It All Back Home and by doing so he was also a new Dylan.

Judy Collins has such a pure, clear tone to her voice and I think her songs are timeless. My favorite is My Father.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Revival
by: Bob Dylan

June 21, 2005
In reviewing Bob Dylan's 1965 classic album Bringing All Back Home (you know, the one where he went electric) I noted that it seemed hard to believe now that both as to the performer as well as to what was being attempted that anyone would take umbrage at a performer using an electric guitar to tell a folk story (or any story for that matter). I further pointed out that it is not necessary to go into all the details of what or what did not happen with Pete Seeger at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 to know that one should be glad, glad as hell, that Bob Dylan continued to listen to his own drummer and carry on a career based on electronic music.

Others have, endlessly, gone on about Bob Dylan's role as the voice of his generation (and mine), his lyrics ... Read More:

The cd was good, but Joan Baez does better music than this cd shows. But all in all, still a good cd.

Another Side of Bob Dylan

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Revival
by: Bob Dylan

June 01, 2004
Another Side of Bob Dylan being Dylan's 1964 release and his 4th studio album is a very good album and at the time it was a departure from his overt issue oriented folk music which had dominated his previous records. Instead he started to write introspective lyrics which was not appreciated by the folkpress They felt like he was getting tempted by the allures of fame and in a way selling out. To Ramona, All I really want to do are some of the gems on this album. Ballad in plain D is a very personal track which deals with a breakup with a former girlfriend. The book-let is very nice with amazing pictures of Dylan doing different things. There are no lyrics included and instead we get a poem from Dylan which is quite odd but typical 60's material. 5/5.
