The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Description

This is the re-mastered reissue of Bob Dylan’s 1963 album
FREEWHEELIN’ BOB DYLAN. Dylan’s outstanding second album is a
tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a
peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like
none before, this followup features some of the most pungent original songs of
the ’60s. “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Masters of War,” “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna
Fall,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” “I Shall Be Free”: if this sounds
like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you’ve got the idea. Nat
Hentoff’s liner notes are charmingly dated, but Dylan’s idiosyncratic singing,
unexpected lyrics, and inimitable guitar and harmonica playing are as
immediate and relevant as whatever you heard on the radio today. (As great as
this is, there’s much more: a handful of top-rank outtakes from Freewheelin’
appear on the Bootleg Series box set.) –Jimmy Guterman
