So I’ve never been a big Dylan fan – though he really has written some exceptional songs, and I respect his contribution to music over the years… That said, my issue has always been his singing… In fact, I enjoy many of his classics – just the versions performed by other artists (i.e. “All Along The Watchtower” both the Jimi Hendrix, and the U2 versions, etc.) Truth is, I never listened to any of his albums from start-to-finish, so this was a good exercise for me… “Like A Rolling Stone” was an exceptional way to start the album, and his vocal style – really suits that song quite well… Unfortunately, that vocal style would continue for the rest of the album, and after about 5 or 6 songs in, I was like – really??? Musically however, I enjoyed most of the compositions, and having Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper on guitar didn’t hurt, and I’ve always had mad love for harmonica – which also worked quite well with this collection of songs… I probably need to spend more time with the lyrics – as I’m sure that’s what kicks this album into another gear for most Dylan fans – but in my book, quality songs are a combination of outstanding instrumentation, excellent lyrics – which are delivered vocally in a style that fits the music… Unfortunately – a vocal style with absolutely no variation whatsoever, and one that is pretty annoying to begin with, really holds the listening experience back… I guess if you just accept his limited vocals – it probably works, and as I said – his vocal style is perfect for the songs “Like A Rolling Stone” & “Blowin’ In the Wind”, but not for every god-damned song… Also enjoyed “Highway 61 Revisited” – except for that damned whistle-thing, whatever that was – totally ruined the vibe for me, and have NO idea why artistically he felt that was needed… Anyways – I get the historical significance of this album, but the best I can give this is a 3…
