By which I mean that it gets overlooked on all this best-albums-of-all-time lists. Perhaps that's because it's not a rock album (though I've seen Kind of Blue on those same lists), or perhaps its slightly uneven quality (it's not as hard-hittingly focused as Highway 61 or Blonde on Blonde) causes it to drop out of the running (what with so many other great contenders from Dylan).<BR/><BR/>But it was my first favorite Dylan album and it remains unique in his catalogue: the best example of his early folk period which, despite his many incarnations, is probably still the most recognized phase in Dylan's career. It has so many fantastic songs and a melancholy quality all its own. Thanks for the write-up (can you believe he was 21 when he made this? Or that the Beatles were 23, 23, 21, and 19 when they debuted on Ed Sullivan? The times they have a-changed, but not for the better, my friends...)MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-62642384899719617712009-01-04T16:59:00.000-05:002009-01-04T16:59:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
