About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Taking the first, electric side of Bringing It All Back Home to its logical conclusion, Bob Dylan hired a full rock & roll band, featuring guitarist Michael Bloomfield, for Highway 61 Revisited. Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and blues ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry") to flat-out garage rock ("Tombstone Blues," "From a Buick 6," "Highway 61 Revisited"). Dylan had not only changed his sound, but his persona, trading the folk troubadour for a streetwise, cynical hipster. Throughout the album, he embraces druggy, surreal imagery, which can either have a sense of menace or beauty, and the music reflects that, jumping between soothing melodies to hard, bluesy rock. And that is the most revolutionary thing about Highway 61 Revisited -- it proved that rock & roll needn't be collegiate and tame in order to be literate, poetic, and complex. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

October 22, 2002: It's impossible to say which Dylan album is his best or which one you'd recommend a newcomer to Dylan try first, but for me anyway, this album epitomizes Dylan in the sixties better than any other album of his. It's got "Like a Rolling Stone" and a whole lot more. Arguably, Dylan's best album--yes!

June 10, 2001: THIS CLASSIC REACHES FOR NEARLY EVERY MOOD THE LISTENER OF IT HAS. IT IS A MASTERPIECE. IT IS OFTEN SURREAL, MELANCHOLY, AND FUN. IT IS DAUNTINGLY CEREBRAL FROM THE TIME PERIOD IN WHICH IT WAS RELEASED. DYLAN CAME INTO THE MAINSTREAM WITH THE RELEASE OF IT IN 1965. TO THE DISMAY OF MANY OF HIS FANS. BUT THEY QUICKLY UNDERSTOOD HE WAS EXPANDING HIS VAST ARRAY OF NEW WAYS TO RECORD HIS CRAFT.
