In highschool, 2 years before this album, in 1963, a friend asked me to go with her to see this poet songwriter at the Arie Crown Theatre in Chicago. She said, he's philosophical, spiritual, and revolutionary. We sat down and watched this small person come out on stage with only a guitar and harmonica. He sat down on the lone wooden stool that was on the stage and proceeded to mezmerize us. That was my intoduction to Dylan and I've been in awe ever since. This album was the second one of his I bought. Almost as hard hitting as the first that I bought, "Bringing It All Back Home". On this album, among my favorites is "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" (also, listen to Judy Collins version). His unique voice contributes to the power of his lyrics.

I have recently bought a turntable to play my handful of high school and university vinyls. It's a bluetooth turntable so that I can listen to surviving 7 record albums on my speakers. Somewhere along the way, I suppose it was "on the road to find out", this much played & beloved album disappeared. Cat Stevens music is unique in both sound and lyrics.

I don't ever want to hear "Mrs. Robinson"...it is so "plastic my boy, plastic"!

I have no doubt that this is a music genre that many people love, however it's not a genre that I care for so I can't coment.

Paula listened to some of the songs because she’s an Amy fan and gives it a four👍…

Sadly, as a person coming of age in the 60’s, loving the San Francisco psychedelic sounds of groups like Jefferson Airplane, also loving the earlier Zombies, along with the lighter “psychedelic” competition between the Beatles & Beach Boys, I was disappointed in this album. It’s not a wonder why only one song made it on the charts. It makes me think of a soundtrack to one of the worst movies to parody that era, Austin Powers. I can imagine this playing in the background of a club scene from that movie.

Great music from a queen of rock. Several cuts are listenable. Others raise chills and memories.

How could you say anything more than smooth? Not like "smooth jazz". Just smooth.

Such good rythm! You MUST move...

1956 -working on my electric train in the basement in winter. Dad comes home around noon on a Saturday and works on something in another part of the basement. He turns on the radio and the tubes warm up...we listen to the Mal Bellairs show on WBBM in Chicago with this kind of music. Mmmm, memories of a wonderful time and feeling the love.

Was crazy about Billy back then, but in the following decades, he was so overplayed that he'd become elevator music.

Great album with lots of emotion. His voice adds power to the lyrics and one either likes that distinct voice or they don't. Only issue for me, is that on so many albums of those days, there are what I call the throw-away songs that were needed to fill out a vinyl record.
