Customer Reviews Sides of Dylan Triple Value! "Black Crow Blues" reminds me of the piano in the Ghostbusters soundtrack. "All I Really Want to Do" was a track I admired from the "No Direction Home" film, so it was good to get it. "Spanish Harlem Incident" is a very insightful work. "Chimes of Freedom" was so dense for me to get into. Buying a Bob Dylan CD is always good for a laugh. This one made me laugh. "I Shall Be Free No. 10" is the funniest thing I've heard him do, though I'm sure there is funnier stuff he's done out there (I'm a relatively new fan). There are other fine tracks on this album too. It's worth checking out for fans of a good tale, fans of acoustic music and fans of classy metaphor. The best of Dylan's early albums... I really don't like political writings, because as Dylan said in a 1984 interview "politics is the tool of the devil". This is my favorite of Dylan's early folk albums. I understand why he got the hell out of the political movements, and went on to record more poetic, personal, and mysterious stuff. As for the songs here, they're pretty much all brilliant, especially the caustic I Don't Believe You, the hilarious Motorpyscho Nitemare, the epic poetry of Chimes of Freedom, and the beautiful, poignant, precise My Back Pages. I feel like Bob did when he wrote that song. Politics can overwhelm you to the point that's all you think about, and you think you got all the answers. No one has all the answers, including Bob, but he knows that. Beware of those who will tell you they have all the answers, because many will, and none of them, regardless of their ideology, have all the answers. I love Dylan's music. It's almost always universal. It can be listened to at any time. I don't really like the title of this album (it was producer Tom Wilson's idea, and Dylan protested vigorously, saying it was overstating the obvious, something Dylan never does), but the music is superlative. . So Much Older Then I knew so much more than my mother, really I did. For me "My Back Pages" is the best song on this record, because it so captures the way I felt when I was growing up. But you know how it goes, as you get older, you realize just how much you didn't know and I didn't know a lot and Bob Dylan really nails this. "It Ain't Me, Babe" is probably the most famous song on this album, but there are others just as good, like "To Ramona" and "Ballad in Plain D" for instance. And, of course, I have to mention the ultimate protest song, the ultimate political song, "Chimes of Freedom. " If that song doesn't make you want to rages against the establishment and try to make a difference, nothing ever will. .
