Okay, so I’ve been a bit lazy, and it doesn't help that I have a big whopping 1 comment so far, but I’m resolved to do this, even if I’m the only one reading.
So this album was really tough to pick--it and Highway 61 Revisited were soooo close, but Freewheelin’ won out in the end, primarily due to quantity. Every song on Highway 61 is a fantastic piece of art, but so are the songs on Freewheelin’, it just had more songs. It’s got the “protest songs” like Blowin’ in the Wind, Masters of War, and A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall, and also the totally heart wrenchingly sad songs like Don’t Think Twice it’s Alright and Girl from the North Country.
On a personal note this album will always stick with me because I had it on almost constant repeat, along with another album on my list, two summers ago when I spent a month at my dad’s house in Georgia unwinding and finishing writing the last five or six songs on my The Holy Family concept album, that will one day hopefully get to be heard by lots of people.
So leave me a comment and tell me what's your favorite Dylan album.
Below is a picture from that summer. We took a trip to visit the University of Virginia. While there we went to a vinyard and tasted wine.
this is a toughie man. Im a big fan of "The times they are a'changin'" the album.
ReplyDeletei mean, its got:
The times they are a'changin
ballad of hollis brown
with god on our side (awesome song)
one too many mornings
north country blues
only a pawn in their game
boots of spanish leather
when the ship comes in
the lonesome death of hattie carroll
restless farewell
all of them are classics in their own right.
