Amazon.co.uk Review: "You sound like you're having a good old time," a purist Dylan fan is spotted telling the artist in the documentary Don't Look Back just after the release of this, his first (half-) electric album. He certainly does. Updating Chicago blues forms with hilarious, tough lyrics--in fact, all but stealing the meter of Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business" for "Subterranean Homesick Blues"--on one side, dropping some of his most devastating solo acoustic science ("It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", "Mr Tambourine Man") on the other, the first of Dylan's two 1965 long-players broke it right down with style, substance and elegance. --Rickey Wright

Rating: - Defined an era
Even though i was born twenty years after this was made, it defined an era for me, roughly from the ages of 19 to 23 (he wasnt much older when he made this), that age when you just finish with being a teenager and start trying to be less flippant, for most anyway, for me it was the time for first relationships, i was a late starter. But this album was me, mine, it is for me, still is. While others my age were listening to Tatu and Sclub and prodigy, i'd found Bob.
Rating: - Leading up to it
This is the album which finally made Dylan accesible to the masses.Which includes me-I'd only heard of Dylan via Peter Paul & Mary and Johnny Cash but a matter of months later came the single Subterranean Homesick Blues and the first electric versions via the Byrds and the Turtles.
Dylan had gone electric after hearing House of the Rising Sun by the Animals.
His next albums were 100% per cent solid Good Time Music.
By the time of psychedelia Dylan was setting the scenes for his ... Read More
Rating: - THE BEST OF BOB
Sure, highway 61, blonde on blonde, blood on the tracks are all classic, this tacks the zimmerman biscuit.
its has a perfect blend of folk rock (gates of eden, tambourine man) and rock n roll (love minus zero, subteranean homesick blues)

Rating: - Essential electric(!!!!)/acoustic songwriting from rock's greatest songwriter
BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME is Dylan's fifth album, released in 1965. Commonly regarded as one of the most influential albums in rock history, BIABH is one of Dylan's most famous albums, and also one of his best.
By 1965, Bob Dylan had released four albums in the space of three years. The first was a traditional folk album with only two original songs. This was the proving grounds, for the market Dylan aiming for focused mostly on traditional material, not new song-writing The second was ... Read More
Rating: - Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
"Look out kid, it's something you did;
God knows when, but you're doing it again."
In the mid-sixties I knew little about the furore and controversy surrounding Bob Dylan. Of course I had heard of the great man, and possibly listened to one or two tracks with little more than a cursory interest. I seem to recall somebody's countrified cover version of "Don't think twice, it's alright". O.K., not bad. And "Blowing in the wind", a very uncool Peter Paul & Mary type thing.
