1001 Albums Summary

Have listened to the album previously, but this is my first listen in a while. I always associate Dylan with great lyrics, so I knew what to expect; however, the lyrics are striking every listen. Fascinating phrasings and soulful, honest delivery makes every song compelling. Not to mention the opener, widely considered one of the best songs ever written. Favourite Track: Tombstone Blues

The soft, relaxed vocals mix extremely well with the erratic bass playing. Each song, in their own way, could be considered the best on the record. Only thing holding this record back for me is it has no real concept/theme, but musically this is the easiest album I’ve ever listened to. Also, the Kendrick feature was a nice follow on to Thundercats inclusions on To Pimp A Butterfly. Favourite Track: Walk on By
