The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Some good stuff and some bits that just passed me by.

Lots of harmonica

It sure is music.

Bob Dylan has never been my thing but it’s okay for what it is

Good

Love this but it's been a while

Fair

3.5 - Interesting as a window into Dylan's evolution as an artist with a singular voice. Besides "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice...", Dylan sounds like a parrot - a young mind eagerly absorbing a broad array of influences and regurgitating them, sometimes reimagining and reworking certain elements.

Nuja. "Hard Rain..." ist aber ein schönes und stimmiges Lied.

Normalerweise bin ich in diesem old school, tramp on train Folk super gern zu Gast, esse Bohnen aus der Pfanne, trinke Maisschnaps ausm Zinnbecher und lege meine zerzausten Gedanken auf einem Büschel Stroh zur Ruh‘ Aber dass die Größe dieses einzelnen Bobs das monumentale Genre der uramerikanischen Geschichten Erzähler überragen soll, kann ich nicht erkennen

Typ hat mit der Platte damals Amerika überzeugt. Bei mir kriegt er dafür bei nächster Gelegenheit sicher auch wieder ne Chance. Erstmal Woody Guthrie hören jetzt.

Muy Dylan. Armonioso y con banjo

Classic

Poesía musicada. Espectacular

I don't hate Bob Dylan

Enjoyed a bit of Bob. Once again I was reminded of my grandad, who regularly played the harmonica. Even my youthful Uncle John doesn't really pick up his guitar or banjo any more. A grandad himself, his light is fading. The politics in Bob's lyrics are dated and, in some ways, have lost their relevance, but still a good listen

les paroles de la contre-culture et du changement qui curieusement sont encore d'actualité ce sont ses début pour devenir légende accompli

Je dois avouer que mon amour pour Forrest Gump a un impact sur l'attachement que j'ai pour Bob Dylan. Mes classiques de cet album restent Blowin' in the wind et Don't think twice, it's all right. Je reconnaitrais l'harmonica et la guitare parmis le plus grand des festivals tellement le son lui est propre. Je préfère l'écouter avec parcimonie car l'effet un peu cacanne peut me gosser à la longue. Heureusement, cet effet s'est un peu dissipé avec les années!

Classic

lit ass album

Bob's got soul oozing out of every chord he strum strum strums. 7/10

Classic

Always knew Dylan was the protest song guy, but never knew how ANGRY he could get. Love it. Screw the fat cats!

Folk classic. Kind blended together, but classic lyrics

I'm just totally not into this kind of music. Sorry.

starts mellow but picks up

This is less annoying to me than Blond on Blond. Blowing in the Wind has become a cliche so it's hard to take it seriously. Love Don't Think Twice. Oxford Town was a new song for me and so was I Shall Be Free, which was pretty amusing. I don't hate it but it's also really hard to listen to 50 minutes of Bob Dylan at this point in my life.

very glad I have given this a proper listen again. Dylan is a legend

Classic

Que disco tan agradable, lleno de canciones clásicas y de contenido poderoso. Cuando todavía no se le atoraba la nariz y todavía cantaba sin maullidos tan pronunciados; eso de entrada ayuda mucho. Las canciones perfectos ejemplos del rock folk más puro y bien hecho, melodías extraídas perfectamente del Mississippi, Pantanos y los Montes Apalaches con letras totalmente modernas para su tiempo, hablando desde mujeres, protesta, humor, derechos civiles, discursos políticos y hasta letras que a veces son demasiado perdidas en su propio mensaje y solo dejan confundido. Un álbum que no solo tiene la importancia de haber iniciado todo un movimiento y la carrera de quien (queriendo o no) fue un portavoz de una generación, sino que también ha envejecido con muchísima gracia y se sigue escuchando tremendamente bien. La amplitud de temas en las canciones, los cambios al cantar entre amores perdidos a sentimientos de verdadera devastación por la sociedad de su tiempo reflejan muy bien los tiempos tan difíciles y cambiantes que había. Tendría un detalle en que ciertas canciones se sienten de creación improvisada en su letra (p. ej. Bob Dylan's Blues) al punto en que no solo son difíciles de seguir, sino que a veces me dejan con una gran interrogación flotando arriba de la cabeza sobre qué trataban. Decir que es un disco excelente e importante se queda corto. Creo que sin duda es un disco que debería estar calificado al menos dentro de los 50 (si no es que 20) mejores discos de la historia. Sin banda, solo con una guitarra y una armónica es una postal perfecta de cómo era el mundo en ese momento y cómo estaba por cambiarse mucho en la manera de pensar y la trayectoria tanto de la música como de la sociedad.

All-time favourite. Everybody must listen to The Freewheelin'.

Either the second or third song with the long harmonica

Dylan siendo Dylan. Canciones de protesta y un par sobre dejar a su pareja. Blowin' In The Wind se lleva a todas de calle en popularidad pero Don't Think Twice, It's All Right y Masters Of War se me hacen las mejores. 3.5 que bajaré a 3 porque necesitas estar en el estado correcto para disfrutarlo.

that must've been amazing to hear in 1963. pretty awesome now.

Not for me, nuff said.

Felt very improvisational. Not my favorite Dylan record

3 half stars

Pass

I get what all the fuss is for

Like Bob Dylan but don't love this album. Hard Rain, Don't Think Twice are good songs. Never was a fan of Blowing in the Wind.

Clearly a great album. Listened while working and it all kinda blended together.

not exactly my cup of tea but found his storytelling entertaining. that man loves his harmonica

Surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did - never gave Dylan a critical listen before. 4 stars, Bobby. Well done.

Some good songs here.

I did give it a listen, it was fine.

meh, wasn't really feelin it.

i don't care if i sound shallow but this is one of the best albums of all time sure his lyrics are dense and it's kinda pompous but u just gotta roll wit it

What a classic!

Classic album, I’ve heard most of it before. Girl from the north country w cash is better.

Best midwestern

Alright

Not bad, would not actively listen to this album, but not a bad listen Fave Song from Album: Corina, Corina

Nice.

Disco de cajón y de los mejores Se nota el acento sureño muy marcado y el folk icónico de la época

3.5 | Aunque tiene algunas de las muy populares de Dylan, me gusta mucho más el feeling del 'Blonde on Blonde'. Me gustan mucho 'Corrina, Corrina' y 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall' pero las muy políticas no tanto. También es interesante pensar que este disco salió a meses de distancia del 'Please Please Me' the The Beatles y cómo son cosas radicalmente distintas en el mismo momento.

Not my favourite Dylan album, but holds a lot of magic. So self-assured and pure. Hard Rain has been a huge influence. Don't Think Twice is one of my favourite love songs ever.

It's not good, but it's better than any of his other albums.

What a legend, once again! So many hits on the same album, and such genius writing. If it mere a bit more musically interesting, I'd probably give it a 5

Trop bavard.

You can feel the raw emotion on a lot of these tracks. This once again reminds me of how produced new music is. You're not hearing the bests of thousands of takes that are strung together and heavily edited, tweeked, and fixed. You're hearing what's probably the first take, warts and all. I'm imagining what it would be like if this was released today. Not with the references to Kennedy, but a modern poet with a guitar writing folk songs that capture the imagination of a generation I find it curious how this track ages. There are so many references to the culture that these tracks were made in that some are universal and timeless, and others you have to google the lyrics to figure out what he's talking about What does a rating mean in this instance? How do you rate an album like the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan? It's a great album, a bulwark in time, with many great songs on it. 4/5?

It was a fine album, just not necessarily my cup of tea

Dylan's a great storyteller and now I wanna buy a harmonica, this Aussie gives it five Kanos from Mortal Kombat out of five.

I know I should like Bob Dylan but I just don’t. Can he actually harmonica?

Meh

graaaande dylan

A damn fine album

I loved a lot of the romantic songs on this record, it feels really freeing and original, clearly one of Dylan's best efforts. "Girl from the North Country" is the best of the bunch imo but there are loads of classic Dylan songs on here!

Spent more time listening to the lyrics as I wasn’t working this time and they are incredible. The music I do find repetitive throughout though

Had songs I love but would probably never went to listen to the whole album

band is alright but his voice is just grating

Good album great lyrics. Can get a bit repetitive.

2.5

RIP to my ears when that harmonica played

Heard before incredibly decent and fine

My feelings regarding Bob Dylan are incredibly complex. On the one hand, I am aware that his music and unique sound revolutionized music and influenced so many. On the other, he stole much of his music from Appalachian artists, sounds repetitive, and can be annoying. This is likely his best album, however.

Morning Coffee/Tea music. Sitting outside on a porch or in the woods and watching the world wake up. Feels like a chilly morning sunrise.

I keep trying but I can’t stand his voice (or harmonicas)

Only got to half. But enjoyed it. Felt like maybe I was the wrong generation though.

Great vibes, maybe good driving, good background, great sound quality, 87%

loved the ballad song form, very simple background music wise which makes it even more beautiful.

It's Bob Dylan. I dunno, my favorite song is still Don't think twice. But I didn't dislike it. His voice is annoying sometimes.

4/4.5

great album many classic on 1 album

Great album

Superb

It was Bob Dylan. It was okay.

A classic. Sparse, full of Dylan's wit, and contains what I consider some of his best songs. Favorite tracks: "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright", "Masters of War", "Girl From the North Country"

Really up my alley, don't know why I hadn't jumped into Bob Dylan's discography. That guitar strumming, that lyricism. His voice is full of emotion and carries the words so well. BUT? He sounds nasally as FUCK. An acquired taste that I have not entirely acquired.

1963. Key Songs: Blowin' in the Wind, Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

more of a 9/10 really

idk not really my type, should probably listen again tho

Closer to a 3.5. Its a pretty one dimensional, but theres lots of classics here. The album also serves as a cool historical document for the US during the early 60s, which I find very interesting.

Very nice. True classic folk

I like the message in so many of these songs, definitely worth it for the lyrics. Folk country sounding.

i realized now that for me, bob dylan songs are nice to the ears but i need full concentration to make sense of things. will try to re-listen to these, giving 3 stars for now

Classic slice of Zimmerman. Went on to make better albums, but this early number is archetypal Dylan for the purists!
