Now here is some Dylan that I CAN get into. Yes – his voice still has a lot to be desired – but with “Bringing It All Back Home” he begun moving past folk, and produced an album that he went electric on. The rollicking "Subterranean Homesick Blues," and "Maggie's Farm" are some of his best tracks he has ever recorded. Now for his faithful fold devoties – he did not leave them out and the ‘second side’ of the record is where the more traditional folk type songs are, highlighted by the classic “Mr Tambourine Man” and “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”. Side A and B are so different from each other they could almost be considered two different records. This is one of those records that makes you miss the old lp records – as it truly is a tale of two “sides” but now that is lost on todays compact disc and digital music world.
A really good album when it comes to Dylan’s vast recorded output – and recommended.
