This album was released a month after Bob Dylan’s infamous use of electric guitar at the Newport Jazz Festival. A lot of his fans hated it but I, for one, loved his transition from folk to folk rock. Bob’s use of the electric guitar and his backup band are great and the songs on this album are just so epic. “Highway 61 Revisited” has such great songs as “Like A Rolling Stone”, “Tombstone Blues”, “Ballad Of A Thin Man” and the 11 minute long masterpiece “Desolation Row”. Bob’s voice is as good as ever and his lyrics are more and more creative with every album I listen to. 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: Desolation Row, Like A Rolling Stone, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Tombstone Blues, Queen Jane Approximately & Highway 61 Revisited.
