Taking the first, electric side of Bringing It All Back Home to its logical conclusion, Bob Dylan hired a full rock & roll band, featuring guitarist Michael Bloomfield, for Highway 61 Revisited. Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and blues ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry") to flat-out garage rock ("Tombstone Blues," "From a Buick 6," "Highway 61 Revisited"). Dylan had not only changed his sound, but his persona, trading the folk troubadour for a streetwise, cynical hipster.
Throughout the album, he embraces druggy, surreal imagery, which can either have a sense of menace or beauty, and the music reflects that, jumping between soothing melodies to hard, bluesy rock. And that is the most revolutionary thing about Highway 61 Revisited -- it proved that rock & roll needn't be collegiate and tame in order to be literate, poetic, and complex.
Side 1:
Like A Rolling Stone (5:59)
Tombstone Blues (5:53)
It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry (3:25)
From A Buick 6 (3:06)
Ballad Of A Thin Man (5:48)
Side 2:
Queen Jane Approximately (4:57)
Highway 61 Revisited (3:15)
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (5:08)
Desolation Row (11:18)
LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked textured labels - moderate spindles
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD
Hairlines and brush marks are visible to both sides and some misting but none of these have any major effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT/VERY GOOD
Very nice copy - no scratchers/loud clicks or pops or any other audible distractions on Side One.
Some surface on "Queen Jane" - nothing too intrusive - still sounds great and the rest of the side plays with little to fault.
Fantastic crystal clear, sharp, rich and immediate sound on these first *MONO* pressings
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Fine example - some bumps to the corners but the edges are sharp and all spine text is clear and bold.
The front laminate has a lovely deep gloss and the white back is remarkably clean
